If you drive on Missouri highways long enough, you're practically guaranteed to see strange sights. I've seen a UFO pulled over (and I have video proof) among other things. Today, there's a real chance that you'll be passed by a jet fighter in Missouri. Really.

My loving wife shared this fun Facebook post with me today. It was a thank you from a aircraft recovery group thanking the Illinois State Police for their help today as they transported a jet fighter across the state. They told the state of Missouri that it was next. Here's what they're hauling.

I saw some comments saying the plane had already been spotted going through Edina, Missouri. Earlier it was in Monmouth, Illinois. I've done some second grade-level research and figured out this is the likely path of the hauler/plane combo.

I have to wonder if this is being taken to the plane graveyard in the Kansas City area that we shared recently? I haven't seen any other details shared by the recovery group, but that would make sense. However, my wife said she saw reports that they were taking 34 west to 61, then south. My point is that if you're driving down a highway in Missouri today and see a jet plane, you're not hallucinating. What you're seeing is real because strange is normal in Missouri. Am I right?
