Living in Bloomington, I can tell you the planes are real. I've also spotted a couple of F16s in the last couple of weeks. I have also Heard that there has been some random questioning of foreign students on the Bloomington campus.

Associated Press) or on-line about a week ago?

See the reference to Bloomington, Indiana in the last paragraph. Did
anyone hear of anything ever developing there? Any unusual traffic heard
lately down that way?

(article is snipped significantly for brevity)

"WASHINGTON--The FBI has a fleet of aircraft, some with night surveillance
and eavesdropping equipment, flying America's skies to track and collect
intelligence from suspected terrorists."

"The FBI will not provide exact figures on the planes and helicopters, but
more than 80 are in the skies. There are several planes, known as
"Nightstalkers," equipped with infrared devices that allow agents to track
people and vehicles in the dark."

"All 56 FBI field offices have access to aircraft, piloted by FBI agents who
have other investigative duties as well. Most aircraft are propeller-driven
civilian models, favored for their relatively slow speed and unobtrusive
appearance.

"The FBI will not disclose where the planes are being used. This month,
however, in Bloomington, Ind., residents spotted a Cessna aircraft flying
overhead at roughly the same times every day for more than a week. After
first issuing denials, local FBI agents admitted it was their plane,
involved in a terrorism investigation."
