Interesting nontheless, and certainly brings back memories of Swedish choppers, depth charges and the all round paranoia of the 80's and early 90's.

You are absolutely right in your theory that it was a natural phenomenon in this case, but I want on my part to make it clear that what happened in the early 80's was NOT the paranoia that you express it, but what happened during the 1990's can be questioned set of other causes.
