Got to wonder if it has anything to do with the eclipse? It's beginning now in the northeast.

It's the Dick's Sporting Goods blimp that has been on the east coast for awhile now. March 11th - 12th it was in eastern North Carolina area.

They are opening a new Dick's sporting goods store in Boston tomorrow, as well as the Red Sox home opener

I originally found the blimp when filtering by type "H" for helicopter. The blimp showed with the helo's that were in the air at the time. I looked on the map help page and don't see a type for blimp or that it would be associated with helicopters.
