File talk:NTS - Plumbob - Stokes test with Goodyear ZSG-3 blimp.jpg

It looks like a clone brush was applied in the lower right. Probably removing the SECRET stamp they put on these sorts of things originally. A little ham-handed. --98.217.8.46 15:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent picture but it isn't a Barrage balloon [1], it is in fact a Goodyear ZSG-3 K-class Blimp [2], which is a free flying non-rigid airship not a tethered balloon. Can someone please change the title to suit. Here is the information that actually comes with the image:-

PLUMBBOB/STOKES/dirigible – Nevada test Site, August 7, 1957. The tail, or “After” section of a U.S. Navy Goodyear ZSG-3 Blimp is shown with the Stokes cloud in background. The dirigible was in temporary free flight in excess of five miles from ground zero when collapsed by the shock wave from the blast. The airship was unmanned and was used in military effects experiments on blast and heat. On ground to the left are remains of the forward section.
