Hi, Tweeters,

Tonight at about 5.30 pm, I saw an extremely large ...........I'm not sure
what.....soaring in the evening sunshine over Glacial Heritage. It was flying
steadily but slowly southwest. Since I didn't have my 'nocs, I didn't get a
good closeup view, but here's the particulars. As it got closer I could hear
a low humming noise, but I swear to you it was not a hummingbird.

Overall color: Grey
Markings :blue with yellow markings.
Solitary.
No bands, although it appeared to be wearing a radio telemetry antenna.
My eyes have been doing funny things lately, so I'm not sure what the species
was, but my husband swore it was a Goodyear blimpus.
