Some people think I’m mad, but I did have a vanishing airship sighting.
It occurred five years ago; I had finished work, and I was on my way home. I decided to stop by a roadside café as I got out of my car and closed the door I looked up and noticed a green-grey coloured airship suspended in the air with no advertising displays.
I thought this unusual at the time because I have never seen one in the area, most times these airships are hired in presenting advertising of a manufacturers product and flying slowly around the central business district.
Maybe it was privately owned but why would they just leave it suspended?
I stood there and stared at this airship which had a carriage below it, and a rope was hanging towards the ground, or so I thought because the rest of the line was not visible behind the bushes.
I was wondering what it was doing there, no people about, no movement just suspended. I could see the carriage beneath it but could not see if it had anybody in it. I did not want to spend too much time watching to see what would happen next I headed towards the café and purchased my item.
I talked about it to the woman behind the counter. I asked whether there was a show in town and she was not aware of any shows.
She too went out to have a look and to my astonishment she told me there was nothing there and then she asked where did I see this airship, I told her and she said she could not see it.
I went to have a look at it myself and wondered why she was experiencing a difficulty in viewing it. To my utter disbelief, it was no longer visible. I looked up at the sky and searched it, and I expected to see it.
I have no proof that what I saw was real as no one was with me at the time when I saw it.
When I was inside the café it would have taken a minute, so where did it go?
I left the woman still staring at the place where I described this airship . I drove my car to where I had seen it, and there was no evidence of anything being there.
To this day, I have no explanation of what I saw and why no one else could see it. I listened to the news that evening, and there was no news about a vanishing airship sighting.
To all readers, have you experienced anything like this? Have you ever had a vanishing airship sighting?
I would appreciate your comments about this.
