146 people called 911 within 15 minutes of a sonic boom, believing a plane had crashed or there had been an explosion at a factory. National Air Guard was out playing war games.

"The UFO's of Kokomo" even made the news here. Of course, the TV report included the obligatory toothless guy saying, "...I seen 'em [the lights] all lined up. Ain't never seen nuttin' like that!"

Saddly I was out of town on the biggest "non-event" we have had. Was quite crazy...
