On Monday morning, small white objects flew high in the sky over Washington, D.C. No one seems to know what they were.
Reader Rob Pierce describes what he saw: “I noticed these white spots in the sky in the west, in the vicinity of the moon . . . They didn’t appear to be moving at all, so not planes or small bits of cloud, and they seemed to be too small or high to be helicopters holding position. My best guess was balloons?”

A pair of high-tech Army blimps is coming to the greater Washington, DC area, and soon they will be able to provide the military with surveillance powers that spans hundreds of millions of acres from North Carolina to Niagara Falls, Canada.

Once above the nation’s capital, JLENS will allow the Army to see for 320 miles in any direction from 10,000 feet above the earth. The system can be set up to operate on its own for an entire month without requiring refueling, and offers the Pentagon surveillance capabilities that dwarf other options at a penny of the cost.

Its manufactures say JLENS “enables commanders to defend against threats including hostile cruise missiles, low-flying manned and unmanned aircraft, tactical ballistic missiles, large caliber rockets and moving surface vehicles such as boats, SCUD-launchers, automobiles and tanks.”

“Affordable defense from real world threats,” Raytheon touts the system on its website.

To provide that security, though, the Army will send its integrated pair of airships — around 75 yards in length each — high into the sky carrying “powerful radars that can look deep into enemy territory.” First, however, the residents of the metropolitan Washington, DC area — and those in around a dozen states stretching the mid-Atlantic into New England — will be asked to ignore a pair of sophisticated spying machines.

so it's a flying warpig balloon

Dad, they saw yer pot plant by the 'maters!

Looks like they’re Aerial imaging balloons by Digital Design & Imaging Service. Not the military blimps (which do not come out until December per NORAD).

Per commenter on Washington Post
Aerial imaging balloons by Digital Design & Imaging Service Inc. (http://airphotoslive.com/). I saw their truck with a balloon outside my work in SW the other day - they had a pretty neat set-up.
