From spending a few years in Iraq and Afghanistan, I can state that artillery is loud and heard over several miles. If it was used, there must be independently verifiable accounts.

Plus are there not numerous military test ranges in the state?
Could be benign tests.

True. Arty is amazingly loud and the sound of both the tubes firing off and the impacts travel many, many, many miles.

Yes these were simply artillery tests. The uncle was fighting with an unexploded shell on his porch. Some of the shells were flying slow enough for the locals to be able to fire on them with AKs...also one of the shells reflected the moon while it was traveling slowly over someones house, bright enough for the moonlight to seep thru cracks in the ceiling.
These artillery tests (common in the area) were the reason police were called, since the native people did not know what artillery was. Yes this is really what happened and sounds completely plausible.

Or the uncle is lying and making BS up?
Or he was on drugs ?
Show me a local police report. If the police were called out there would be a paper trail.
There is keeping a open mind and keeping a mind so open your brains fall out.

Yup police here spend more time on paperwork than actual policing!
And if a single shot were fired the paperwork and internal investigation go on forever.
A running firefight with automatic weapons and artillery? You would have enough paperwork to fill a bloody library
Not to mention every local news paper would be running the story.

You can have a cryogenic container fully charged with liquid nitrogen. I work in a stem cell lab and we use those all the time. The newest ones are rated to hold -190 degrees celsius for 10 days.
You are right about the bullet/shell casings not being shown or reported. The lack of the interview of the uncle is kind of putting me on the fence about this incident.
