Here are the ways something can be shot down:
1. There's at least one flak or mobile SAM in the city.
2. The city has the SAM missile battery city improvement.
3. The city has a fighter or jet fighter on air superiority (or has one nearby on air superiority in an airfield, on a carrier, or in another city.)
4. There's a ship with anti-air defense in the city - a destroyer, a cruiser, an AEGIS cruiser, a battleship, or a carrier.
Numbers 1 and 4 are immediately ruled out because you said there were neither of these types of units in the city (unless you didn't see them or something). So probably, either the city had a SAM missile battery improvement, or there was a nearby fighter/jet fighter on an air superiority mission.

Okay. Are you sure there wasn't another city, an airfield, or a carrier nearby that you didn't notice? If you're absolutely certain there wasn't any of these things, and all of what you said before was true, than I honestly have no idea - except that it was a glitch or something.

well, maybe they had a flak before, then had to sell ti because they were losing money, and you checked it out after it was sold.

That could be, but he said there was no graphic showing his plane being shot down... Since you were getting lots of gold, it shouldn't have disbanded automatically - that only happens if you're in a deficit. Unless you accidentally disbanded (or relocated) it yourself, it's probably a bug.
Do you have a save game right before the bomber disappeared? Maybe we could try to recreate the effect.

no i mean maybe the AI was loosing $$$ and had disband a SAM/Flak

That would not explain the lack of animation.
You may have inadvertantly rebased the bomber.

.No, the lil thing poped up saying the bomber was shot down "our bomber was shot down" but i checked the city with my spy befor, lik i said, ther was a 1 tile city with only 3 musketmen and a gallon. my millitray advisor showed no fighters, or flack guns or any thing in ther millatry

No, in conquests, Bombers have lethal bombard capabilites and can sink ships. At least they can in mine nad I do not think I modded that.
