Most sightings have been reported in the Western region of Singapore, near the Choa Chu Kang Camp, where the blimp is taking off from.
The Airforce had been keen to deploy the blimp since late 2014, but has been testing it for safety, and only just approved it for flight tests in the country a week ago.
