Lancaster, CA


It's over an hour from Pacific Palisades to Lancaster, the thing would have to be miles long to be seen over Lancaster from the beach. Looks like a blimp, and the west coast Goodyear blimp base is in Carson, CA, just 30 miles SE of Pacific Palisades. I know Jan-Mar is the depot level maintenance period for the blimps because there are limited outdoor sporting events between football and baseball seasons. Might have been a post maintenance functional check flight, would be easy enough to check with Goodyear to get their flight log for Feb 2019.

It is worth noting this object was reported (anonymously) to NUFORC, see below. Notice the submitter says it was not the Goodyear blimp. Couldn't find anything in the local LA media about this sighting.
