Fringe fan?

‘Fringe fan?’

Didn’t see ‘Fringe’, but they used them in ‘Caprica’.

I live in the Akron, Ohio area so the Goodyear blimp is a regular sight (during daylight hours) But a couple nights ago I was driving and saw a very large craft seeming to hover with lights that were positioned so that it looked like something out of a SciFi movie. Pulled off the road, turned off the engine, rolled down the window and voila! The rumble of aircraft motors powering the blimp.

It immediately reminded me of the scene in a Fringe episode where Olivia is a small girl looking up at a passing Zeppelin immediately after transporting herself into the parallel universe. Whoever did the sound for the engine noise of that craft got it exactly right. The other point is that if blimps and Zeppelins ever become commonplace the nighttime reports of UFO's will go through the roof. Seeing something at night that big in the sky moving so slowly is quite eerie.
