Take it easy, Southweste­rners, space aliens are not attacking — at least not yet.

A fireball that streaked across the sky Tuesday night, alarming residents of Arizona, Nevada and California, was debris from a Russian rocket carrying supplies to the Internatio­nal Space Station, US authoritie­s said Wednesday.

“I was kind of freaked out to see something like that blowing up in the air,” said Las Vegas resident Gunnar Lindstrom.

It must be lean times for SpiderMan, because he’s resorted to a life of crime!

The Georgia Bureau of Investigat­ion is asking for the public’s help to catch a robber who has knocked off two banks in the past five weeks — both times wearing a SpiderMan mask and claiming to have a bomb.

The bad SpiderMan likes to wear a camouflage hoodie and drives a dark, fourdoor hatchback, officials said. Porn dog to the rescue! Prosecutor­s in Montgomery County, Texas, have purchased a canine with a specialty of sniffing out hidden hard drives and other storage devices often used by child pornograph­ers to hide their illicit images.

Operators of an Oregon park know “hoo” is to blame for recent attacks on patrons — but not why.

Two people have been attacked by an angry owl at Bush’s Pasture Park in Salem, where a string of owlonhuman assaults happened earlier this year.

Jogger Dwight French said the attack on him felt like “a really violent haircut.”

Animalbeha­vior specialist­s believe aggressive owls are mating and trying to show off control of their turf.

Washington, DC, cops busted two men for giving away pot brownies on the streets — and then asking for “donations.”

In Washington, having marijuana for personal use is legal, as is giving it away. But local laws bar direct sales.
