UFO in San Francisco? No, it’s a Giant Airship!
A giant white airship seen over San Francisco caused panic and UFO rumours. It was actually Pathfinder 1, a test airship funded by Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
People in San Francisco were shocked to see a huge, bright white airship slowly moving across the sky. Videos of the strange flying object went viral, with many joking that aliens had finally arrived in California.
But it wasn’t a UFO, it was Pathfinder 1, a new kind of airship built by LTA Research, a company funded by Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google. The aircraft was seen flying over San Francisco Bay, Oakland, and Alameda during a special test flight from Moffett Field.
Pathfinder 1 is designed to be more eco-friendly than airplanes. It is quiet, runs on clean technology, and produces less pollution. The company aims to use such airships to carry goods, deliver emergency supplies during disasters like floods or earthquakes, and promote sustainable transport.
Even though the truth was simple, the internet went wild with conspiracy theories. Some users claimed it was a secret government project or an alien test vehicle. Others said it was part of a hidden military experiment.
However, officials confirmed it was only a test flight part of a clean aviation experiment. Still, it’s easy to see why such a massive white airship captured everyone’s imagination.
The next time you spot something strange floating above, remember not every mystery in the sky is from outer space!
