Flying Cannonballs Over Brooklyn?

There are just so many questions we could ask after reading this brief report in the Brooklyn Eagle. We will start with this one:

Could the "suspicious package" found at Floyd Bennet Field yesterday -- which turned out to be a cannonball -- be somehow related to yesterday's scattered reports of  "people seeing an object flying over southern Brooklyn, heading in that general direction"??? 

UPDATE: Mystery solved!
