It's probably, hopefully, just the Air National Guard fighters out of Portland doing routine exercises, but it wouldn't shock me if it were a Trump-ordered "show of force" in advance of elections and because of protests, and that the processed-cheese-fool didn't realize that the famous Oregon cloud cover wouldn't allow 99% of people to know it wasn't just unusually routed airliners.

From Reuters.com: Does US law allow Trump to send troops to quell protests? -

STATEMENT BY THE MILITARY LAW TASK FORCE OF THE NATIONAL LAWYERS GUILD ON THE USE OF THE NATIONAL GUARD AND ACTIVE-DUTY TROOPS TO CONTROL THE OPPOSITION TO I.C.E. AND D.H.S. ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS.
The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild is opposed to the use of military forces to “put down” or “control” the heartfelt reactions by community members to workplace immigration raids in Los Angeles and other cities.
The Trump administration claims the use of the troops is necessary because local police are incapable of protecting the masked, non-uniformed, but heavily armed, federal forces from ICE, DHS, ATF and the FBI. Nothing could be further from the truth.
In California, for example, Governor Gavin Newsom has denounced the use of military troops as a dangerous escalation of the confrontations. We agree. We remember how National Guard Troops fired on student anti-war protestors at American universities.
The MLTF will be developing a more comprehensive plan of action, including the use of Article 138 of the UCMJ and the Nuremberg Principles. For now, we pledge our support for members of the National Guard and the active-duty military personnel who are opposed to attacking and killing those who oppose the illegal and immoral removal of undocumented workers.
It is important for servicemembers to recall in these moments that each step in a chain of orders must be legal for their orders to be legal – including whether those orders are issued under the appropriate authority.
Service members with questions about illegal or unjust orders can contact the MLTF at (619) 463-2369 for a referral to an attorney to discuss their rights.

Today in Labor History September 4, 1957: Nine African American students tried to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to block them. The students were ultimately admitted. However, they were abused and harassed throughout the year. One girl had acid thrown in her eyes. One of the girls was suspended, and later expelled, for having the audacity to defend herself against the attacks.
Here is footage of the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by Charles Mingus’s “Fables of Faubus.”
