I know exactly what you all mean.  I live in a semi-rural area.  I had a scare a few weeks ago.  It was after dark and I heard a low-flying, fast-moving plane.  I just stopped what I was doing and literally held my breath for the few seconds it took to pass overhead.  Just had time to breathe a sigh of relief, and HERE COMES ANOTHER ONE!!  I realized then that they must have been military planes, but it scared the sh** out of me for those few seconds.  When I told a friend what happened and said that I felt I was becoming paranoid, her response was, "You and the rest of America!!".  I guess it's only natural that we feel that way.  I hope in time we can hear a plane overhead and NOT have these thoughts.  But I guess it will just take time.
