Stealth bombers aren't usually seen in skies above Medfield
Sunday was rather typical in Medfield, which is normally not the scene of major news (scratch that: a crew from "Chronicle" was here on Friday for 4 hrs. of taping at Lords' Department Store, our local institution, which is open 365 days a year: "if Lords doesn't have it, you don't need it". But I digress).
So we were sitting in the car in the Shaw's parking lot while my wife picked up some taco fixings, when one of the kids happened to notice A FREAKIN' STEALTH BOMBER FLYING OVER MEDFIELD.
Yikes! It was going very slowly, (sad to say, no camera phone pix to post here: the memory was full) and made several circles over our wee hamlet. I assume it was hovering here prior to an appearance at the Patriots opener (correct?), but it was a trifle out of the ordinary.
Next thing we'll be having crop circles at the old Medfield State Hospital.

365 days?
I thought department stores were still required to close on Thanksgiving and Christmas, thanks to remnants of the state Blue Laws.
"stealth" bomber?
Not very stealthy, then, was it? ;-)

That's part of what made it so astonishing: I figured that I'd
probably "seen" them before, but they were going a gazillion mph so it wasn't obvious. This thing was lumbering along at about the speed of a small plane. Totally bizaare. Felt I was in Area 51.

Black and boomerang-shaped?
Stealth bomber
This was the plane that did the flyover at Foxboro Stadium after the National Anthem before the Patriots game. I believe the 'stealth' part is related to the aircraft's ability to elude radar detection.

I saw it when I was at the South End Open Market, around noon. maybe this was related to the Khatami visit?
hmm...
i thought stealths can't be seen neither detected by radar. maybe it was an ufo that you've seen. hmm....
saw it over Harvard Square
saw it over Harvard Square around 12:30 (also assumed it was Khatami-related). Wondered if Dick Cheney was going to drop a Daisy Cutter on Harvard...
I believe stealths cannot be seen by radar, but they can be seen with eyeballs...
