Unplanned levitation (bug? glitch?)

[Laie]

So, this happened: I had landed my Eve lander, crew came seperately in a rover. After parking next to the lander, I couldn't see it any more. Quite remarkable given the size of the vessel. Eventually I spotted it hovering above, slowly gaining altitude (click for more pics):

A most precarious situation.

There's been a stickied post demonstrating it in the spacecraft exchange section for a few weeks: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/94698-A-Totally-Stock-Zeppelin-%28Casually-hovers-at-4-m-s%29

Ahem... to whoever moved this: this wasn't supposed to be a bug report (I have no more details about what happened) nor am I seeking advice (loading an old save worked good enough).

I just wanted to share the freakish view of a 1000-ton rocket hanging overhead.
