Well I wrote to the defenseindustry website and asked them about the air walrus, but they said this couldn't be that because the air walrus project was never completed. They said it could be some other kind of solar powered shiny blimp though.

Of COURSE they discontinued the Air Walrus. Imagine starting the war with Iraq by saying to Saddam, "If you don't get out of Iraq in 24 hours there'll be a massive Air Walrus attack!" Then they would start making jokes about us that they think are funny but we grew out of at the age of 10.

Hehe, they'd probably think we meant to drop actual walruses on their heads. But hey, that would scare me, those things weigh almost a ton.

I still say it's a flying penguin.

Well, I think it's a space ship. To be more precise, Yukio's spaceship. It was just smudge's dad's luck to take a picture at the exact moment Yukio was trying to find his way home from whatever planet he comes from.

He got lost, don'tcha know.

Ooo this really reminds me of a ship called Moya or Talyn from the TV show farscape. I posted a link to the image on a farscape forum I frequent, I hope you don't mind. If you do I'll remove it.

I think I figured out what it is. I went on google looking for military blimps. There is a new one called the air walrus and when I compare the color and shape it looks very simular. The front of the blimp is pointed and the front of our thing is pointed. There is a small tail and ours has a small tail. There is a black underbelly part and a whitish stripe and I think ours has that too. So this is what I think it is. But it's still cool to get a photo of it I think, becuase it is a new thing they are working on. This might be one of the test flights for it or something.
I just contacted the defenceindustrydaily website, maybe they can tell me if I guessed right.

that looks so weird.. yet so cool at the same time. show that to ppl 50 years ago they'd be all O_O

It has GOT to be this, just really blurry because it's so fast. I heard about these on TV- they're unreleased and everything, but space ships that anyone with money can buy, and they're not solely for space travel, you can use them on land, too.

Is it just me or do I see a missile by that plant right above the road in the lower left of the picture?

I didn't add that, you can see it in the image fudge posted as well.

That looks like the trunk of a birch tree. Maybe it is and the tree died, leaving just the trunk?

I'm pretty sure Birch trees don't grow in desert climates.
