I have heard tell of such thing, probly just a wild rumor a tall tale an exaggeration. Reminds me of this Kentucky hillbilly who had left home and joined the military back in the '60's and he had come home on leave and was listening to the radio and one night and they were playing live the (alleged) 'moon landing' and he told his grandpa "Hey grandpa come here and listen, they actually have sent men up to the moon on a rocket ship and they are broadcasting it live on the radio." and ol' grandpa said "Sonny you've been out there in that world so long now that you'll just believe anything that they tell you, just turn that nonsense off.", these young folks, man, thank goodness for grandpas.
