I was driving down Highway 123 and spotted the Ameriquest red, white and blue blimp flying very slowly about 500 feet off the ground at most. It was heading in a south/southeast direction, probably to the Kinston Jetport, which is just a few miles from here. Moving very slowly, the blimp was just lumbering along -- low enough that you could see the occupants waving at all of us on the ground.

We have multiple overflights by white, unmarked airplanes usually Cessnas, but now dual engine props too. At night, our city sounds like Iraq and has since about July with all the planes and helicopters. I feel like the blimp heading into the city from the Fort area was on another fabulous homeland security mission. I saw the Goodyear blimp same area about a year ago. I frequently see very low noiseless airplanes flying over the treetops at night in this same area. No one will fess up as to what is wrong but if or when South Carolina blows.

However, I have gone on the internet and have found no information on lighted blimps except for UFO speculations. I am very curious to know what it is we saw.

I was driving back work while eating a Wendy's spicy chicken Finger (oops, I mean fillet) sandwich, watching busy high school traffic and checking the time, hoping I wasn't late relieving the receptionist. The blimp was approx 1,000 feet up...difficult to measure from the ground, and it was a breezy time of day, so...I do believe the pilot was fighting the cross currents and not drunk on our Southern hospitality!

I was working in the yard when I heard a noise that I was not sure what it was. At the time, the airship was behind a tree from my position. When I was able to see it, it was the airship Outback . I immediately went into the house and got my digital camera and took a picture of the airship. I would guess the airship was approximately 4,000 or 5,000 feet altitude. It was low enough that I could see the people in the cabin or gondola, or whatever it is called. It was traveling in a west-soutwest direction I would guess. A lovely sight in the air as it floats along. Wish it were possible to ride on one of these type airships one time. Also love to eat at the Outback Steak House in the Greenville, SC area.

I was doing lab work on my Meleagris gallopavo project, and while looking up with my mouth open in the rain to settle once and for all whether turkeys really do drown that way (and time the event) I saw a rather small blimp as it appeared perched atop what was unmistakably one our frequent UFOs here on the strip.

Thank god I had just replaced the batteries in the windshield-wipers on my glasses, or I would have missed the whole thing!

The piggy-backed blimp and it's host seemed to be doing about 1500 mph, and on my side of the thing it looked as though it were billowing inward causing a shifting, misshapen appearance. I am surmising that the blimp was not designed for such speeds, and was therefore probably being held involuntarily.

Across the street, someone duplicating my work seemed oblivious to the event as he gazed upward in the opposite direction. Efforts to get his attention were too late and my shouting was drowned out by the torrent.

Needless to say, my my project was interrupted. I shall wait for more rain.

Well, I saw a lot of blimps, but I am not sure I know if I counted them all. What I need to know is, dimpled blimps, do they count? If a dimpled blimp becomes pregnant while I am observing it, what about that? And hanging blimps, they may not actually be airborne anymore, but they should count too, on my personal blimp sightings record. That's all I am saying. Every blimp should count.

I was at Mansfield Airport eating at the airport's Restaurant. The blimp was swaying in the wind on the mooring mast on the ground, which is approximately 124 feet above sea level.
