I briefly saw a “Missile Incoming” message with a 60:00 timer (that wasn’t updating) on the buttons on the front pages of both LW and the EA Forum, at around 12pm EST, on mobile. Both messages were gone when I refreshed. Was this a bug or were they testing the functionality, testing us or preparing to test us?
They should have left it up longer if they wanted to test us with it, since it was gone when I reloaded the pages and the timer was never updated while it was up, even though each side would have an hour to retaliate (or it was supposed to give the impression that the hour was over, and it was already too late).

I think it was an intentional false alarm, to better simulate Petrov’s situation

Since the timer wasn’t updating on either site, I assume they weren’t testing us (yet).
