The "Super Blue Blood Moon" night was a nightmare for Wisit Wibulsilp and Chalerm Kulyasuk.
Despite living in different provinces, the two men shared the same fate on Wednesday evening - bullets ripping through their roofs.

Mr Wisit reported to Thung Yai police station in Nakhon Si Thammarat that a bullet fell into his bedroom around 7pm while he was watching TV.
He told police that he heard a noise from the roof - and moments later found a bullet only 80 centimetres from where he was sitting.
"I was shocked. If it had hit my head, I could have been injured or killed," he said.
Deputy police station chief Pol Capt Anan Panitchakul, who inspected the house, said the gunshot could be linked to the lunar eclipse.

On the same night in Trang, Mr Chalerm told a police patrolman from Muang station that a .38mm bullet had crashed into his house.
He said the bullet landed 40cm from the sofa where he was sleeping - the exact place his family members normally sit to watch TV, he said, except that fortunately they were having dinner at the time.
The provincial police office in Chai Nat said on Thursday they had received more than 100 phone calls complaining about gunshots on Wednesday night.
According to Thai superstition, firing bullets into the sky during a lunar eclipse saves the moon from being swallowed by Rahu, a Hindu demon.
