Roger Waters' Flying Pig Found

The giant, helium-filled pig that flew above the crowd during Roger Waters ' set at last Sunday's (4/27) Coachella festival in Indio, CA, has been found.

According to The Desert Sun in Palm Springs, the pig--which was released after being guided via tethers through audience--was discovered by two different couples, each of whom found one half of the animal's rubber carcass. The couples reportedly will split the $10,000 reward that festival organizers offered up for the balloon's return.

Prior to its escape, the pig hovered over the crowd while Waters performed "Sheep" from Pink Floyd's 1977 album "Animals." The heavily spray-painted balloon's most legible marking was the word "Obama," which appeared on the animal's belly alongside a box with a check-mark in it.

Waters reportedly hired a plane to simultaneously drop pro-Obama leaflets on the crowd, but the wind blew them into residential neighborhoods near the concert site, according to The Desert Sun.
