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!
