Organizers of the major Coachella music festival announced they are prepared to offer a $10,000 reward and four festival tickets for life to the finder of two-story inflatable pig released in the sky during Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters' final set on Sunday night.

The giant inflatable swine floated away during Water’s closing set at the Coachella Valley Arts and Music Festival. The festival lasted three days and was held in the desert east of Los Angeles.

The huge pig was part of Pink Floyd's stage show ever since their 1977 album "Animals" featuring the song "Pigs on the Wing."

The inflatable swine was led from lines held on the ground, but at one point broke free above the swarm of fans attending the festival and floated away, while Waters was playing a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs."

"It wasn't really supposed to happen that way," said Marcee Rondan, Coachella Festival spokesperson.

According to a report posted on Entertainment Weekly’s Web site, the floating pig was found by Susan Stoltz, a resident of La Quinta. She reportedly found a “huge pile of vinyl and latex,” but didn’t know where it came from and stuffed it into the trash. After reading about the giant pig and the big finder’s reward in a newspaper, she realized what she had in her trash.

More precisely, Stoltz only had half of the pig. The other half was found by her neighbor.  
The two sent an e-mail to lostpig@coachella.com and the media was quickly all over the area.

 “I told them it it was more like pulled pork now—it was pretty shredded—but they said they’d be right out to get it,” Stoltz said according to EW.com.

 “A lot of people think it’s pretty funny that this capitalist pig landed in a country club in [the] Palm Springs [area],” she added.

The pig is at his second escape. In 1977, Waters lost the flying pig during the second day of a photo shoot at the Battersea Power Station in London. The floating swine was recovered and used for an album cover.
