Seen Above Marin County California - Yazata - Nov 19, 2025 The little thing up on top is a helicopter. The more unusual thing is the big silvery orb down by the cloud. (Quiet down MR!) (Photo by Scott Manley) It turns out to be Google co-founder Sergey Brin's Pathfinder 1 airship seen end on. Here it is at Moffet Federal Airfield/NASA Ames Research Center in Mountain View, where it's based RE: Seen Above Marin County California - Zinjanthropos - Nov 19, 2025 Thanks Yaz. I have two memorable moments that involved the sighting of aircraft/ships. Once while standing on the green at a local golf course a stealth bomber went right over our heads. One of the coolest things I've ever witnessed. I think there was an air show going on US side of the Niagara river at Niagara Falls AF Base. The second neatest sighting was of the Goodyear Blimp as it floated along and overtop the Niagara River. I believe the Bills had a prime time game that night and there was probably some video shots taken that they showed during game breaks. RE: Seen Above Marin County California - Magical Realist - Nov 19, 2025 The sheer size of the shot where it looks like an orb distinguished it from the usual UAP orbs, which typically only measure from about 1 to 4 meters in diameter. But I do like the implication that the blimps are making a comeback. Fondly remember the Goodyear blimp flying over our neighborhood in Portland TX years ago.
