A video gaining traction on social media is suggesting a “huge” UFO was recently spotted over North Carolina’s Lake Norman, north of Charlotte.
The footage, recorded May 29 by Jason Swing, shows a long slender object hovering for more than two minutes over the man-made lake.
Swing calmly calls the object “a space craft” in his video.
“It had been raining all morning. Rain finally stopped so we went (to) pick up a boat from Lake Norman,” Swing says in a post with the video. “When (I) came around the corner I saw this thing sitting still very close.”
Comments on Swing’s video posted on YouTube have ranged from mockery to support for the UFO theory. Another possibility is that it was a blimp, which would explain the hovering, commenters say. The Goodyear blimp was reportedly in the Charlotte area on May 29, for NASCAR’s Coca Cola 600, according to a Goodyear Blimp tweet.

The still shown on the TV studio screen suggests a rudder and a gondola, so I'm going to favour the "blimp" theory.
