We had a similar issue some years ago where people near Leeds Bradford Airport said planes always flew over their house and not where they were meant to. We sent people maps and asked them to make a note of the date and time and to draw what they thought was the track the aircraft followed, we then compared these to the actual radar track. Almost without exception nobody got the track of the aircraft correct and pretty much had the aircraft flying over their house. Some of the participants lived 3 or 4 miles apart and were on both sides of the flight path.
I'm not saying you're wrong just that it's human nature to think the planes are flying over you when they aren't!
