Oh, It Came Out Of The Sky, landed just a little south of Moline.
Jody fell out of his tractor, couldn't b'lieve what he seen.
Laid on the ground and shook, fearin' for his life.

Then he ran all the way to town screamin' "It Came Out Of The Sky."
Well, a crowd gathered 'round and a scientist said it was marsh gas.
Joe B. came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax.
The Vatican said, "Woe, the Lord has come".
Hollywood rushed out an epic film.
And Joe the Plumber said it was a communist plot.

Oh, the newspapers came and made Jody a national hero.
Geraldo and Oprah said they'd put him on a network T.V. show.
The White House said, "Put the thing in the Blue Room".
The Vatican said, "No, it belongs to Rome."
And Jody said, "It's mine and you can have it for seventeen million."

LITCHFIELD, Conn. (WTNH/AP) ? Authorities in northwestern Connecticut say
they didn't find anything after a state trooper and another person reported
a large object falling out of the sky in Litchfield.

The Republican-American of Waterbury reports that a person driving in
Litchfield at about 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the
size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake. Officials
say that at about the same time, a state trooper 10 miles away in Warren
called dispatchers to report that something fell out of the sky and landed
near Bantam or Morris.

Morris firefighters made several passes up and down the lake in a boat
looking for a possible plane crash, but didn't find any debris.

Authorities called off the search, leaving the mystery unsolved.

According to the National Weather Service, there was a meteor shower that
morning.
