At 11:21pm, the frogs fly by a man eating a sandwich in his house, he seems very confused to see flying frogs.

Neither the press nor the police know what to make of it the morning after, when the town is strewn with abandoned lilypads.Reminiscent of 1950s science fiction/flying saucer movies, “[the lilypad] became a sort of magic carpet, flying around.
