(I first saw this when it came out in 2002 while my dad was stationed at PAX NAS, it came to mind, and I just had to share ... I stil to this day have no idea if it actually occured.)

15 JULY 2002-MISHAP LOCATION: NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER PATUXENT RIVER, MARYLAND MISHAP WEATHER: 3000 FOOT OVERCAST CONDITIONS 5 MILES VISIBILITY WITH OCCASIONAL LIGHT RAIN

MISHAP EVENT TOOK PLACE ON SUNDAY 14 JULY 2002 APPROXIMATELY 1415 HOURS EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME. MISHAP WITNESS (MW) WAS WORKING IN BUILDING 2187 AND DESCRIBED WHAT HE HEARD WAS NUMEROUS RAPID CONCUSSIONS WHICH SHOOK OFFICE WINDOWS AND WALLS. LOOKING OUTSIDE THE WINDOW HE NOTICED OBJECTS FALLING FROM THE SKY. HIS FIRST THOUGHTS WERE COULD THIS BE THE START OF ANOTHER SEPTEMBER 11? OBSERVATION OUT OF THE OFFICE WINDOW REVEALED MISHAP SCENE IN FRONT OF BLDG 2187.

MISHAP SCENE ARRIVAL AND INITIAL INVESTIGATION INDICATED A SQUADRON LEVEL(12) MK-1, MOD-0 CANADIAN (NORTHERN) GEESE LOCATED IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AROUND THE WESTERN PORTAL. MISHAP GEESE (MG) WERE SCATTERED ON THE GROUND IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS AROUND THE PORTAL. INITIAL ON SCENE ARRIVAL INDICATED THAT FOUR MG WERE KILLED UPON IMPACT AND TWO MG WERE ALIVE BUT IN SERIOUS CONDITION. FIVE OTHER MG WERE WALKING AROUND THE PORTAL AND FLED THE SCENE ON FOOT ...

MW PERFORMED A QUICK POST MISHAP ANALYSIS. FROM WITNESS MARKS (AND SOME MG FECAL MATTER) ON THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING, IT APPEARED THAT THE SQUADRON WAS IN A LOOSE ECHELON V FORMATION. LEAD MISHAP GOOSE (LMG)APPEARED TO HAVE LED THE SQUADRON FORMATION INTO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING AND DUE TO THE SPEED AT IMPACT FIVE OTHER MG IMPACTED AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN ONE SECOND OF THE LMG. APPARENTLY, REMAINING FIVE MG IN TRAIL V FORMATION OBSERVED LMG AND THEIR FIVE SQUADRON MEMBERS AT IMPACT AND HAD ENOUGH TIME TO EXECUTE EVASIVE MANEUVERING TO RECOVER TO AN UNEVENTFUL LAND BASED RECOVERY IN FRONT OF THE WESTERN PORTAL OF BUILDING 2187. FOUR OF THE MG INITIAL SIX MG WERE KILLED UPON IMPACT DUE TO BROKEN NECKS. ....

WEATHER AND SKY WAS A "GRAY DAY" AS IS THE COLOR OF BLDG 2187. MISHAP INVESTIGATION TEAM SURMISED THAT LMG HAD OBSERVED A REFLECTION OF TREELINE AND SKY IN THE LARGE DARK WINDOWS AND ASSUMED FLIGHT PATH AHEAD WAS CLEAR ABOVE THE TREELINE. SKY REFLECTION IN THE WINDOW MATCHED CLOSELY WITH BUILDING COLOR WHICH MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO COGNITIVE FAILURE OF LMG.

A SMALL RUN OFF POND IS LOCATED IN FRONT OF BLDG 2187 (ABOUT 150 YARDS) AND IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE MISHAP SQUADRON PERFORMED A NORMAL AMPHIBIOUS TAKEOFF AND ROUTINE CLIMB OUT ON A NORTHERLY HEADING TOWARDS BUILDING 2187 AND MISHAP LOCATION.

REMAINING MK-1, MOD-0 NORTHERN CANADIAN GEESE WILL BE BRIEFED ON DETAILS OF THE MISHAP AND THIS PARTICULAR ROUTINE HAZARD TO LOW LEVEL NAVIGATION IN THE NAS PATUXENT RIVER COMPLEX.

IN ORDER TO PREVENT FURTHER MISHAP, RECOMMEND PAINTING BUILDING 2187 BRIGHT PINK, COVERING ALL WINDOWS. NOTE THAT NAVY SHARES FAULT IN INCIDENT FOR BUILDING IN THE FLIGHT PATH.

I wonder if the windows ever got painted pink
