ufo in kokomo?

some weird stuff went down in kokomo tonight. some weird weird stuff. basically around 10:45, there were lights and fire in the sky, and a loud boom. cameron freaked out and alerted me to this, and of course we began listening to the kokomo police scanner. it began going insane and nobody knew what was going on. people were saying it must have been an airplane crash. they were searching everywhere for it. they were all over the place, nobody knew where to start looking. the faa says all planes are accounted for, and the military bases say there are no crafts in the area. they went to western to meet and start a search, then apparently messed up and were to be at northwestern. then there was a fire reported, it was on the news, someone called and said they smelled a gas leak, alarms went off at the business surrounding the area. then they said it was a meteorological event and called everything off.

now...what? here is the timeline as i understand it:

10:45 - fireball in the sky splits into 4 perfectly lined up blobs, along with a loud boom that was intensely felt through all of the kokomo, not just one specific area. cameron craps his pants. katee is freaked out because she just got home from work and saw the fireballs and thinks it was a ufo.
10:50 - no idea where to look still since witnesses are calling from everywhere. mention of calling in nationl guard. people reporting debris and cloud of smoke.
10:53 - mention of ground troops
10:56 - mention of switching to emergency (not broadcast) channels for some personnel (so they can talk freely and not be heard on the scanner)
11:10 - mention on news via tv and internet
11:30 - start to call it meteorological event (one officer says he doesn't believe it is one since it was too intense) same thing happened in cass county two days earlier.
11:45 - search is called off

if i were a sci-fi conspiracy theorist, i would say it's interesting that they were speaking freely until they were asked to move to the emergency channel, and that they stopped talking about military as soon as that occurred. and then they couldn't find anything and gave up relatively quickly. if i were into that sort of thing, i would say kokomo is the roswell of our time.

but what's likely the truth? somebody (a pilot) mentioned seeing F-16s heading back to the base in Fort Wayne tonight. he said he figured they were shooting flares and one of them went super sonic, accounting for everything we saw. of course, the air force bases denied having crafts in the area but they always do. so that's what probably happened and somebody is getting yelled at for going super sonic over kokomo at night and causing a panic. but it doesn't explain the debris first reported, the cloud of smoke, or the fact an entire area was blocked off for a while. flares? smoke? not the same.

but if i were you, kokomo, i'd be watching out for super soldiers, the black oil, or some little green men. if i was in kokomo tonight, i would totally go on a wild goose chase.
