LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- A Lincoln police officer saw an unidentified flying
|
|
object descending on Union College, but his other-worldly experience turned
|
|
out to be a blimp gone astray.
|
|
The officer was on patrol early Thursday when he saw an object descending
|
|
over the college campus, said Lt. Jon Briggs. It turned out to be a large
|
|
helium balloon in the shape of a blimp that had come unhitched from a new
|
|
Runza Drive Inn, Briggs said.
|
|
The officer tried to grab the blimp but was nearly pulled into the air by
|
|
it, Briggs said. In the end, it took three officers to bring the balloon under
|
|
control, he said.
|
|
The blimp, which Runza store manager Karolyn Johnston said appears to have
|
|
been released deliberately, was an advertisement for the new store, which
|
|
opened Sunday.
|
|
Johnston said police told her citizens were calling them and reporting a
|
|
UFO sailing over Lincoln.
