After reading your post I will call it a YES. If you believe it is not a YES tell me so I do not count it as such.

Apollo 12 launched on schedule from Kennedy Space Center, during a rainstorm. It was the first rocket launch attended by an incumbent US president, Richard Nixon. Thirty-six-and-a-half seconds after lift-off, the vehicle triggered a lightning discharge through itself and down to the earth through the Saturn's ionized plume. Protective circuits on the fuel cells in the service module falsely detected overloads and took all three fuel cells offline, along with much of the CSM instrumentation. A second strike at 52 seconds after launch knocked out the "8-ball" attitude indicator. The telemetry stream at Mission Control was garbled. However, the Saturn V continued to fly correctly; the strikes had not affected the Instrument Unit.

Groom Lake is home to a Lockheed Stealth Blimp in the shape of a Giant Triangle. The hanger for this craft is easily seen on Google Earth as it is a New and Extremely Large Hanger.
This Blimp is said to use a Very Advanced form of propulsion as well as said to be very fast as well as silent.
