Saw this hover over our house last Wednesday, took pic with my phone. Looks triangular.

How high up was it and how long did it hoover or stay in the same spot?  Looks like it was a windy day at the time?

Hard to tell. I was watering the plants when I saw it. Put the hose down and got my phone out. As soon as I took the pic my 2 yr old got hold of the hose and was spraying water through our front door (which was open) into the front room. I had to get the hose from his hands and dry the floor By the time I got back it was gone. I don’t recall it being too windy. Come to think of it, it is graduation time and I do see a lot more balloons than usual (on cars etc.). Might be an escapee.

Looks like a blimp to me.  We see them fairly often around here, and I suppose our sightings will only increase now that we have that stupid Cowboys stadium.

It actually looks like a remote-controlled toy I saw in a store a while back.  I have no idea where to even begin looking it up online, though.

No, it was some sort of a plasticy thing with an enclosed rotor, and vents to control direction of flight.  And sort of water-drop shaped.

Sorta similar, but with the rotor’s axis vertical rather than horizontal.
