A similar character ruined his complaining about a blimp that went over his
house enroute to Solberg. This guy was trying to blame the noise on the airport
next door (Mannville). Winds were pretty high, so the blimp took a while to go
by. He claimed to the reporters that the blimp was so low that he could have
jumped up and touched the basket from his roof.

Blimps make pretty good radar signatures, and this one was on a flight plan.
The paper checked, and Newark radar had the blimp at 600 feet the whole way.
