Maybe it was a Secret Service A-10, and they heard you were talking on the internet about Bin Laden's body......  :noid

Lol like no joke. I heard the engines cause I have window open....I was like hang on now, thats not a Learjet engine, and when I looked it flew right over the house. 99.9% chance it was a A-10.

I have seen them fly over my house in pairs. They are awesome as they come in low, very quiet until directly over you.
I believe it is National Guard maneuvers in my area on east coast.

speaking of weird things, Anyone living in Ohio seen alot of military helicopters lately?


i live in Clermont county, and last week it was nonstop air traffic over my house.

i counted blackhawks, apaches, cobras, what looked like some chinooks, and w.e heli the marines use as a transport.


we usually dont get that kind of traffic. so it was pretty odd  :headscratch:

Don't see many planes fly around here anymore, I remember during my last year of middle there were always helicopters flying over, If I recall there isn't a base to far away from where I live, but back to my point I don't see anything like that anymore, the skies are almost always quiet. :noid:

Ok so it just flew over 2 more times, went back the way it came, then back the way it was going before. And a C130 Coastguard just flew over the house about 10 min ago. Maybe they are doing some kind of drill?

They're flying to the Aleutians in support of our glorious armies in the area.
The Russians are invading, hasn't anybody told the news!?

There's a National Guard base fairly close to me, and an Airport, so we have A-10s flying around occasionally, and military helicopters and transports all the time.

I seem to recall the Germans being the closest related to UFO sightings? Unless what they showed was crap also. Saw it on a show, Germany wanted these kind of helicopter slash i don't know, they looked like flying disks and I want to say its all crap but some people beleive what they want.

Perhaps the AF is now working with the CG for assistance in border security since the AF considers the A10 to be more of a FAC bird than a real tactical ground attack bird. That's the training they do at DM AFB. Now that you have discovered the link between the two agencies they will have to visit you. Listen for a knock at the door soon. Pack lightly, there is no real cargo service to gitmo.

Any possibility it could have been a citation? Someone post a picture of the silhouette of a citation. It may have been one of those.

An Apache, Blackhawk, and a C-130 fly over my house almost daily..  There's a small local airport less than a mile away, I can see it from my backyard.

We don't get any fighters around here at Griffiss...rarely you see a formation of F16s shoot up the valley. Mainly just C17s, C130s, and C5s looming around.

'east of the Rockies you're on the air'

Note: I've got $50 that statement will go over the heads of at least 65% of the people on this board considering the season.

I saw a biplane yesterday.
It flew nice and straight.
It was very pretty.
Wish I was in it.

Perhaps the pilot was "borrowing" it to take care of that pesky gopher problem once and for all?

I've witnessed A-10s flying low over lake Texoma.  They made sweeping passes over the same group of boats from several directions.  I don't know what exactly they were doing, but my guess is they were using boats on the water for practice target runs, or they were using the contrast of the boats against the water to calibrate instruments.  Or, maybe they were just showing off for ladies they knew were watching.  What ever the case, it was fun, and scary, to watch.

I think the Secret Service are flying a-10s now.  They use them to deter people from talking bad about the government.  I sent a text to a friend that Obama has an ugly jumpshot and a couple of guys in black suits showed up at my house.  There was an A-10 circling my house during this.  Then they held up this silver pen with a red light on top.

the only problem with your story, is that if in fact they had held up that silver pen with a red light on top, you wouldnt remember any of that stuff that happened.

For the past several years every month or so I'd be in the yard and hear a distinctive jet sound, I'd look up to see Lockheed test flying the next F22 to come off the line.  An F16 chase plane would be flying a close trail.  I haven't seen any for a couple of months now.

See jets all the time in New England.  In CT saw a f18 fly overhead and was moving pretty damn quick.

Over my college in Springfield, MA see f16s all the time and for some reason they sure love to buzz my school at 9-10 in the morning.  Kind of annoying when trying to get some sleep.

Most likely the pilot was probably doing a fly by for family or friends.
