Utah city may use airship as anti-crime spy

A proposed unmanned floating airship surveillance system is being hailed by city officials in Ogden, Utah as one way to fight crime in its neighborhoods...

One person will be able to operate the system but it will also function on its own with programming directives... Officials say the cigar-shaped blimp, powered by electric batteries, can fly for four to six hours before needing to be recharged.
