ARDMORE, Oklahoma -- A 79-year-old man's homemade airship floated out of control and was eventually pulled down in the middle of Interstate 35 Wednesday evening.

Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers were able to stop traffic in the northbound lanes at mile marker 29 so they could move the blimp off the interstate.

This isn't the first time Marvin Polzein has had problems with his blimp getting out of control.  He crashed it twice in May and another time, it floated 80 miles down to Decatur, Texas with no one inside.

Polzein was not injured in Wednesday's incident.
