And it didn't take long for the Internet to respond.

From "Ghostbusters" to Lionel Richie and even Edward Snowden, Twitter was aflutter with tweets about the runaway military blimp Wednesday.

Here are a few of the best:

I should know better by now, but even I still have trouble believing that "runaway surveillance blimp" is actually a thing.
