In August 1942, a United States Navy blimp was spotted drifting strangely over Daly City, California, sagging, barely under control and slowly coming down over houses and power lines. When emergency crews finally reached it, they expected to find its two Navy airmen inside, but the gondola was empty. Hours earlier, Lieutenant Ernest Cody and Ensign Charles Adams had taken off on a routine anti-submarine patrol, radioed that they had spotted a suspicious oil slick and descended to investigate. Neither man was ever seen again. This is the bizarre and still unexplained mystery of the L-8 Ghost Blimp.
