theshlobs: I was at university in Wales about 10 years ago and my mum was driving me home through the B roads (like theres a choice!). I saw through the sunroof of the car, an enormous WWII grey bomber plane skimming the top of the trees above us as if it was going to crashland but was making no noise. We had all windows and the sunroof open as it was summer, but yet heard nothing.
We both saw it just miss the side of the hill as we went round the corner and both expected to see the wreck on the other side of the hill - but there was nothing there. It was bizarre - we have both always thought we saw a ghost plane and have seen in the national papers recently stories of ghost planes in Wales.
We both honestly think to this day we saw a ghost plane - there could not have been any other explanation - it could not have missed the hill - it could not have been any more than 50 ft above us!
That is amazing! Did you ever wonder why it was that YOUR family saw that?

Wow!!!
Your story reminds me of something that happened with my son when he was a toddler ... not a ghost story but one that trully made me wonder about re-incarnation ...
We were in the garden one sunny afternoon and a small airplane flew very low over our garden ... My son who was not old enough yet to string a sentence together pointed at the plane and said very clearly "bomb" ...
I was sharing the story with the au-pair who lived with us and she said it was not the fisrt time he had done that but didn't say anything because she didn't want to "freak me out"
I want to believe he had not picked it out of watching unsuitable stuff on TV while he was in her care during the day for a few hours and he sure didn't when I was around ... Even if he had was he old enough to have worked out the word "bomb" and they get dropped out of airplanes?
Anyway only a few days later ... we were (him and me) sitting at the table having a snack when another low flying airplane went over our house ... He hopped off his chair saying "bomb", grabbed my hand and pulled me under the table, made me sit with him (very calmly) and waited until the noise of the plane had totally faded out, then "got us" out from under the table and carried on with his snack as if what we had just done was "just normal day occurence" ... not phased, not scared ...
BTW My son has always been wiser than his years in some ways ... Still doing it now aged 20

Clearly a habit and experiance I would not want to take with me into next round. Interesting thing though, at least you know that he would never stay frozen in place if something goes bad.
