The Ghost Blimp

In this episode, we unravel the eerie tale of the "Ghost Blimp," a U.S. Navy L-8 patrol blimp that departed San Francisco on August 16, 1942, on a routine mission—but returned without its crew. Pilots Lt. Ernest Cody and Ensign Charles Adams were seasoned and prepared for their anti-submarine patrol over the Pacific. Hours later, their blimp drifted back to land, pilotless and intact, leaving investigators baffled. Was it a tragic accident or something more unexplainable?   Sources: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-80-year-mystery-of-the-us-navys-ghost-blimp-180980531/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-8 https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/1970/march/mystery-l-8 https://www.sfgate.com/sfhistory/article/SF-Ghost-blimp-Daly-City-15739903.php https://www.warhistoryonline.com/world-war-ii/us-navy-ghost-blimp.html https://ghostblimp.blogspot.com/
