Hmmm. If, rather than flying close to sea level, you flew at high altitude (above commercial airliners), and kept it relatively small, I suspect that you could do this and no one would notice unless you told them.
Though at high altitudes the winds are such that it would be less of an airship and more of a steerable balloon.
