I ask this because my fog lights went off by themselves (no siren activation and my sirens work great still to this date), when a B-1 bomber was buzzing the local Air Force Base. I posted about this weird event a long time ago, and another member in the military (If I remember correctly, Guam) had the same thing happen to him. It never happened again to the best of my knowledge. This Air Force Base does not host B-1 Bombers (Shaw AFB) as a rule, they just visit once in a while.
That is they reason that I wear a tin foil beanie when I go near installations like this, you can never be too safe.
