This was about a year ago, but I remembered about it when I was flipping through this notepad that I have and remembered that I sketched a picture of it the day I saw it. It was about September or October of 2013 and I looked up to see a strange looking plane that I thought might be a drone. I would have dismissed it as a kit plane or custom made hobby plane but a few seconds after seeing it I saw a Cessna 172 or 182 plane flying very close to it that I remember said "Air Force" on the side of it, similar the Cessna picture below. I initially thought that maybe the person in the Cessna was flying the "drone", but I was not sure. I'm not trying to say this is a conspiracy or anything but it was pretty unusual to me. A friend of mine that was with me was kind of freaked out, and I was telling him that it was probably a kit plane that somebody flew for recreation. But then the Air Force Cessna made me think again.
Below is the drawing I made that day. As a note, it says "cockpit" in the drawing now, but that was something I added today because I assumed that is where the cockpit was. However, the day this happened, I did not remember seeing a cockpit for a pilot, so it was not in the drawing originally. Although from the angle I was standing, I was viewing it from more of the bottom because it went almost right over head. (around 80 degrees at about 200 foot altitude). I did not have the flight aware app on my phone at the time so I was not able to look it up on there. It definitely had the delta wings and had the pointed winglets at the nose and the engine on the back. That I am 100% certain about. I have found some pictures of similar planes on the internet but nothing exactly like the one I saw. I Uploaded a picture of one below.
