Ghost Blimp

Ghost Blimp

On August 16, 1942, an L-8 military blimp left San Francisco bay to investigate a possible oil spill. A few hours later, the airship wandered back over land and crashed with nobody aboard. Life rafts and other gear had not been touched. The radio was fully functioning yet there had been no radio transmissions indicating anything had gone wrong. To this day the two-man crew has never been found.
