Strange blimp flies over Atlanta

Did you see a strange looking blimp flying over Atlanta this week?

If it looked like this, you saw the Despicablimp.

Universal Studios’ Despicablimp soared more than 1,000 feet over many of Atlanta’s major landmarks, including Piedmont Park, Turner Field and Stone Mountain.

Fan-favorite minions Tim and Stuart flew into Atlanta to celebrate the occasion.

the brightly colored airship is touring the US in celebration of “Despicable Me 2”- opening in theatres nationwide on July 3.

Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the mile-high minion can track the Despicablimp’s course by visiting the “Despicablimp Command Center” at http://www.despicablimp.com.
