What the hell blew up in the skies over the Maryland-to-North Carolina Atlantic coast last night? Thousands of people supposedly saw terrifying Light Monsters floating down from the Heavens, and then heard horrific booms and thunder and such, and ... well it almost sounds like a summer thunderstorm, SCARY, but it is not summer, or something? Global Warming? Let's quickly & cheaply examine the frightful evidence.
* WAVY is investigating the loud boom and bright flash in the sky witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people around 9:40 Sunday night. People from Maryland to North Carolina have called 10 On Your Side and wavy.com reporting the flash. [

* Reports of a bright light and in some places, an explosion-like sound, poured into law-enforcement offices across eastern Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina last night.

She said Suffolk police were looking into "reports of great balls of fire landing on the ground." [
