Narrative:
I was descending from 14000 to 8000 ft. ATC advised of aircraft at 12 O'clock -- 1 mi. I observed 3 khaki colored military jet fighter aircraft climbing and aiming right at me. I turned on my landing lights and strobe lights and made an emergency right turn. Military aircraft took no avoidance action whatsoever. They passed me with no vertical separation and only a few ft of wing to wing separation. I believe the 3 military jet fighter aircraft were intentionally playing a very dangerous game with a civilian aircraft!

Narrative: I WAS DSNDING FROM 14000 TO 8000 FT. ATC ADVISED OF ACFT AT 12 O'CLOCK -- 1 MI. I OBSERVED 3 KHAKI COLORED MIL JET FIGHTER ACFT CLBING AND AIMING RIGHT AT ME. I TURNED ON MY LNDG LIGHTS AND STROBE LIGHTS AND MADE AN EMER R TURN. MIL ACFT TOOK NO AVOIDANCE ACTION WHATSOEVER. THEY PASSED ME WITH NO VERT SEPARATION AND ONLY A FEW FT OF WING TO WING SEPARATION. I BELIEVE THE 3 MIL JET FIGHTER ACFT WERE INTENTIONALLY PLAYING A VERY DANGEROUS GAME WITH A CIVILIAN ACFT!
