That's a fair point!
Many years (~35) ago I was hiking in the Lake District and heard military planes very close by. Naturally I looked up first. But I was on a high ridge and after a couple of seconds I realized I needed to be looking way down, into the valley! That was quite something to see. I think maybe they were Tornadoes, but I'm not sure.
