  Was there a UFO [3]at Friday night's London Olympics fireworks display, or has the flying object been identified as the Goodyear Blimp? That's the question being debated online today by many denizens of the Internet. No one is disputing whether the Goodyear Blimp was present during the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics [4]. The question is whether the UFO [5]spotted flying among the fireworks and the Goodyear Blimp were one and the same.

  To be specific, if the Olympics UFO [6] actually was a blimp, it was the The Goodyear-Airship "Spirit of Europe II" [7] with its safety lights turned off and its Goodyear advertising banner removed. The Goodyear-Airship "Spirit of Europe II" is a small, non-rigid airship, or Type A-60 blimp. Such blimps measure 130 feet in length, 34 feet in width and 44 feet in height. They are illuminated internally by two 1,000 watt lamps.
