CNN: Exclusive: Never-before-seen Chinese military blimp caught on satellite images of remote desert base
A large blimp developed by the Chinese military has been spotted for the first time at a remote base in the desert of northwestern China, exclusive new satellite imagery obtained by CNN shows.
Aerospace experts say the images, taken three months before a Chinese spy balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina, could signal a notable advancement in China’s airship program, demonstrating a more versatile and maneuverable craft than previously seen or known.
The images, taken in November 2022 by US satellite imaging company BlackSky, show a roughly 100-foot long blimp in the middle of a nearly kilometer-long runway at a desert military complex in northwestern China.
CNN presented the imagery to a number of aerospace experts, who confirmed they show a blimp and runway, bookended by a pivot point used to launch airships, as well as a massive, nearly 900-foot airship hangar.

But CNN is MSM and we are told here that MSM not to be trusted.
Cnn is not to be trusted. It does not mean you cannot glean information from what they report.
CNN does at time report the truth unvarnished and sometime skewed. It also lies by omission.
If you have a statistic that over or under estimates quantity, you usually can apply a function and correct it. With news you can do the same thing
1:08 has a quoat of lies and deception to meet.
Glad you are gleaning
Careful you do not overglean
