Of course!

I have a memory...I am not even sure if it was a real one, or if it somehow just formed in my mind, because I must have been only 3 or 4 years old at the time. I believe I have a memory of being an infant, carried by my mother or father, but even that one like the one described below, is hard to tell if it is real or not. And it is more like a picture than a moving memory.

I have a memory of sitting in the grass on a sunny day with clear blue skies on the lawn of our house in Portsmouth, RI back around 1960 I am guessing.

And I saw blimps, several of them, maybe two, maybe three float by overhead.

In my mind, it is more of a snapshot than a little movie, which is the way a lot of my memories are. I have wondered a few times over my life about that.

Just now doing a search, I found that the last airships were retired in 1962, so...I don’t know.

But yes...I remember all those things...:)

You're speaking here of an experience rather than something not real. Blimps moved slowly and rather close overhead, allowing pilots to clearly see people, houses, cars, running dogs, and most likely you, looking up at them.:-)
