Mystery Giant White Blimp Like Object Over Oakland

We witnessed a blimp like object that appeared to be circling the Oakland airport area. It was massive. Had some sort of black unknown text writing and possibly had people below. My girlfriend and I observed from our patio overlooking (with binoculars) and have pictures to support. It had a red blinking light on the bottom and looked very strange.

We've lived here for over 3 years and have never seem anything like it. Our view is of the entire east bay and we can see the Oakland airport on a clear day. However, this stood out.

To start, we've never seen anything like such described. It was huge and from first glance all white. It was easy to dismiss as a normal blimp but in retrospect we've had a change of thought.

Like I stated, we've never seen anything like that before. It stood out. And the next day I remembered how strange it was to observe. So I googled every type of search that would pull it up. Found NOTHING. I mean NOTHING. I find it incredibly hard to believe that everyone in SF didn't comment on it and also take pics. If it was just another blimp why would it not be mentioned online somewhere.

Which leads me here. I can't find a single picture online of this.

I believe it was probably an emergency landing and not intended to be seen. It might have been some sort of military craft. Hard to say. Like I stated, it was easy to pass off as a normal blimp. And sadly, we didn't watch longer to see how it landed. I tried to film it but from our distance it only look like a large white spot. The picture are better. But what we saw in the binoculars is the most compelling. The writing was not legible. It looked like symbols. And it was far from what you would think was a promotional blimp.

If was a normal blimp, we would've seen it before. And the black out of it online makes me believe we weren't supposed to see it.

I think it could be a weather modification blimp that malfunctioned and needed to make an emergency landing. Hope you can provide more insight.

I'm not sure how to send the picture but will if your interested.

Thanks for being here. Hope your not the MIB haha
