According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the planes were two F-15s circling near Winchester getting ready to conduct a flyover above Fenway Park, where the Harvard-Yale football game was being played.

"The flyover was coordinated with the FAA," spokesman Rick Breitenfeldt told WBZ-TV.

Red Sox spokesman Zineb Curran said the flyover was done before the game Saturday, which kicked off at noon.
