[ScanIndiana] Terrorists in Bloomington, Ind.?

[Kevin Ratcliff]

I live in Bloomington and heard the aircraft flying over at night on several 
occasions. I was always at work during the day so I didn't get to see it. 
There were articles in local and national papers and shortly after the news 
stories the plane stopped flying. I never heard anything on the scanner, but 
I didn't check the FBI or A/C freqs.

>"The FBI will not provide exact figures on the planes and helicopters, but

>however, in Bloomington, Ind., residents spotted a Cessna aircraft flying
>overhead at roughly the same times every day for more than a week. After
