All right, so a lot of you have been listening to this podcast long enough now to know that when a story starts with people looking up at the sky, it usually ends with some sort of wild UFO sighting.

A silver craft hovering over a field, a cigar-shaped object darting through the clouds, a saucer, spiraling without

sound. And while you know I love a good UFO sighting, today's case might arguably be more

mysterious than any of that. On a beautiful summer day in 1942, people in Daly City, California looked up at the sky to see a blimp, barreling towards a hill.

The airship was owned by the Navy, so to see it come crashing down in a busy area was alarming enough.

But even more surprising was when the rescue teams got there, there was no one inside.

The two men operating the blimp were last heard calling in a report over the ocean.

But after that, it's like they vanished into thin air.

Stories of what happened these two pilots have been debated ever since that day.

Were they captured by Japanese forces, killed by a spying stowaway?

Did they get into a fight and push each other out of the blimp and into the ocean below?

But since their bodies have never been found, I have to consider one other possibility.

Like the fact that their deaths might have been tied up in the supernatural.

Welcome back. I'm Ashley Flowers, and this is so supernatural.

Thank you. You know, All right, y'all, I am so excited for this episode because it happened right here in my neck of the woods.

It is a story that is so strange, so mysterious, so mind-blowing that it's going to keep you guessing for days.

I'm Yvette Jentele.

And I'm her sister Rasha Pecorero.

Now I know we've covered ghost ships in the past,

crews who vanish off their decks while out at sea with little evidence to show where they went.

But this might be the first and the last time we ever get to cover a case of a mysterious ghost blimp.

And I think it's safe to say that most of us don't see a whole lot of blimps in our day-to-day lives.
