I was in a car heading north on the 55 this afternoon around noon I saw planes floating. At first I figured they were just balloons but then there was one directly over the freeway and no strings attatched. Am I crazy?

Did it look like any of these? These are the only planes I can think of that can float/hover.

V-22 Osprey, it is half helicopter half prop driven plane.

Harrier, has nozzles allowing it to hover.

Joint Strike Fighter same as Harrier

Most definately not, they looked like your typical small passenger jet

Maybe they were heading in the same direction as you, and at the same rate of speed, so they appeared to be floating.
