All of a sudden my article about laughing at doomsayers that thought the Christmas eclipse was a sign of something isn’t so funny. 

Australian authorities were baffled by overnight reports of flare-type lights, explosions in the sky, and sonic boom type noises in the sky that shook some houses and prompted fears of falling space junk or meteorites.

``There was a huge bang which shook my house,'' one resident of Bateman's Bay, 175 miles south of Sydney, told Australian Broadcasting Corp radio.  `I thought the house next door to me had blown up.''

Here is the bizarre part. Police say they have contacted meteorology, air safety, emergency, and defense experts, but all were unable to come up with any definitive cause that could’ve been responsible for such bright lights and booming noises that were reported along a 124-mile stretch of the country’s east coast over a two hour period.

A number of small grass fires were also sparked around the nearby capital of Canberra. No doubt brush fires caused by debris from fallen star fighters that were locked in an aerial dogfight between the dark empire and the rebel forces.

Rebel forces that are trying to prevent the imperialistic dark lord from breaking the prime directive and enslaving the entire earth for electing George Bush president of the United States of America and making him the most powerful carbon based life-form on the planet.
