I was on campus walking to my car when I heard a plane.  Not having seen a plane fly in quite sometime I thought to myself that it was nice to see them up again.

Later I went out to do some shooting a there was another plane.  These planes weren't at high altitude either, they were close enough to read their letters. (These looked like ordinary civilian Sesnas)

Then tonight I was at the store and my brother in law came in and asked if I knew what was going on.  He said he saw aircraft circling and one looked like it turned its lights off.  I told him of my plane encounters and went about my business.  

Now no more than 10 minutes ago a plane went over my house.  It had to have been buzzing the tree tops because it was loud.

I don't live near a military base.  The two closest to me are Ft. Leonard Wood(No planes) and Whiteman AFB(Only military aircraft there)  The two bases are both about 200 miles from me.

Should I be wearing my tinfoil hat?!

Well, Columbia is a big training area. Prolly just some instuctors having fun.  A kamakazi Cessna would need a direct hit to do any damage.
