Sighting of Stealths slows interstate traffic

Interesting little story. Hubbs gets in from his long day on the road, and tells me that while he was traveling on interstate 79 this evening, (just after dusk), he noticed some lights in the sky that he thought were tower lights. Now, he found this quite unusual, as there are no towers in this area. (he's a private pilot, so he knows his tower locations around here). Upon further inspection, the lights turned out to be the lights on the undersides of 2 Stealth Bombers, flying slowly at around 1,ooo feet or so! He flipped out! He said he almost slammed on his brakes to watch, (not a cool thing to do on an interstate!) Everyone else on the road was slowing to catch a glimpse too. "They were huge", he said. When I asked him why they'd be around here, flying so low and slow, he said that there was an airplane flying around the Beaver Nuclear Power Plant yesterday , and that it disappeared. Radar couldn't track where it went. So they must be on patrol in the area. Hubbs then went on to tell me that you're not allowed to fly within a 10 mile radius of a nuclear power plant. Scary stuff.
