The Mystery of the Midnight Sound is Solved

Last night I heard the strangest noise, right as the air conditioner kicked on.
It sounded like it you had a dozen aluminum coke cans rolling around in a clothes dryer. It sounded like it was coming from right outside my bedroom window near the air conditioner.
I thought maybe it was a short burst of rain as I saw one streak of lightning, but it really didn't sound like that.
So this morning I sent hubby out to the back patio to check .
You won't believe what the noise was!!!
He found a shredded mouse or possibly a mole or chipmunk in the air conditioning unit. It appears as though the animal was inside the a/c storing his seeds when the a/c kicked on, sucking him up into the fan and throwing him around, which is the thumping noise I was hearing.
Isn't that just crazy?
This is just a generic photo of a dead mouse. Our mouse was completely shredded to a pulp.

Poor thing, that is a pic of a rat I believe, unless it was blown up one hundred times. Mice aren't that big.
