CR booms in sky answer
This is likely your answer to the “war” noises. I found that there was an air show at Midland international Airport on Oct 12-13. This show featured old military aircraft and a battle simulation! So you did hear a “war”, or the best simulation they could. Sometimes the simulations include air battles as well as “bombings”.
You might think about the wind direction that day regarding who heard what.
