Airship over Manchester

[mattviatura]

OMG I saw a UFO it was shaped like a cigar and it changed shape into a ball and it had lights and OMG.

On a more level-headed note I saw an airship apparently over Manchester yesterday afternoon and evening, from my viewpoint about ten miles away it seemed to be over the city centre and maybe towards Salford but I may be wrong on the exact location.

Anyone know what it was up to please?

Is there a website that lists unusual aircraft movements?

Was it RRG Toyota's tethered blimp?

[mattviatura]

Erm no. I was ten miles away and it was moving.

It's a Goodyear blimp:

Thanks, I thought it was probably theirs.

Big bugger innit.

It was over London the other week. Got some photos one night of it at Damyns Hall, Upminster.
