...Bull took on the form of a surprisingly conventional musical comedy of mistaken identity: pleasant if not particularly memorable music, a cheerfully tongue-in-cheek plot and caricatures obviously intended to be as farcical as possible. Set in the fictitious Pueblo Cito, a "backward little town" on the coast of Spain, the story revolves around three principal characters: El Bean (Tim Arnold '00), a famous matador; Hector (Elie Mystal '00), a sleazy politician; and Ana Sanchez (Tonia d'Amelio '00), a village girl whose fiance was trampled to death by bulls...

What the pilots may have seen were two D-5 Trident missiles fired at that time by the submarine USS West Virginia off the coast of Florida, says the FAA. Because the night was very clear, the missiles, fired eastward over the Atlantic toward the Azores, could have been visible from afar, says the Navy.
