Here is the email I sent Globetel IR, and the response I received from Globetel IR/Bob Jones in response to the SwRI test flight PR. I really like Bob Jones' straight forward attitude and optimism.
Good Morning,
I am a shareholder and I recently came across this article on BusinessWire(article is at bottom of this email). Is this in direct competition to the Sanswire Stratellites and/or Military airships? I thought we were far ahead of any viable competition? According to the article, the HiSentinel has already flown at altitude as well.
Regards,

I forwarded your e-mail to Bob Jones (President, Sanswire); and here is his response:
"This "Balloon" is not really an airship. No mention of safe landing or lost in the sky. Sure I can launch a balloon and put a small motor on it and call it success if people want to see that. Bottom-line is station keeping for extended period, not 5 to 6 hours of battery life. It’s funny that everyone is trying to call a balloon an airship these Days.
It's a balloon that is shaped like an airship, I can make it look like sponge bob and launch it too."
Regards,
Bob Jones
