Fun or weird? Not really. Most memorable of those was a call I once got from a 911 dispatcher after they received lots of reports of a "UFO" or "aircraft Crash" near the NC Coast (I was at Camp Lejeune NC)

Turns out, it was a space shuttle launch out of Florida on an unbelievably clear evening at dusk. We watching the whole thing about 20 minutes before. The sun lit up the rockets ejection plum like it was on fire. It looked cool and a little unusual. But, it also looked like a rocket ascending into space. Still scratching my head about how someone could mistake that for a plane crash. It was going up, ffs. 🤣
