Default Blimp near 466

This morning I was driving east on 466 toward Rolling Acres. It was about 10:00 AM. There was a blimp flying from the direction of 27. Because I was was driving I could not see any markings on the blimp. Did anyone else see it or know what it was? No, I was not drinking.

Blimps seem to fly over The Villages a lot when they travel north through Florida from their Pompano Beach base near Miami.

Could it have been going to Jacksonville to cover the football game?
