Default Need some aircraft ID help

Was walking back home from work today, and saw an unusual aircraft flying overhead that I couldn't recognize. I wasn't thinking, and forgot to take my camera out of my coat pocket. It had a straight wing with straight wingtips and no dihedral, twin propeller-driven engines, a double tailfin, a fairly tubby fuselage, and was painted overall green. I immediately assumed that it was a B-25 headed to Bradley International Airport, but it turns out the B-25 had rounded wingtips and larger engines.

Now, I'm not really up on my civilian aircraft, so it might have been an everyday cargo plane I've never seen before. However, I'm have a hard time pinning down what type it could have been. It looked so much like a B-25, and there are apparently dozens of still-flying examples, but the shape of the wings were slightly different from those of a B-25. Anybody have any idea exactly what I saw? I can't identify it, so it must have been a UFO.
