Silhouette challenge
The U.S. military hopes Sanswire-TAO's STS-111, which looks like a cross between a weather balloon and a dirigible, will stealthily gather intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance info
Nice shot Ken - it's all yours.

Wow, that's something. Blaugas ship!
Did we have some time ago a funny flipper glider with even more funny ideas of evaporating and sublimating gases? HappyPass posted it, and we had hard time believing the idea.

Actually a good question and the answer is I don't think so (any more). Made mistake by looking a picture of a three-cylinder aircraft with specifications on Siemens-Halske, but the picture apparently is from its Bristol Lucifer engine version.
So the question 2 amended: Bristol Lucifer engine?

See my previous post. Although pictured on the internet both as 3-view and photo, information regarding the engine is lacking.
Third: Would this be a low-wing version of something we would better know as a high-wing or bipe? ....No

Real struggle without the engine mate.
When Reg asked Bristol Lucifer, I wonder if he was right. There weren't many three cylinder radials around, at least to my knowledge.
