Once things calmed down, did they ask any questions about your rigs? Would be cool if this incident got them interested in hammocking, that is, if they camped.

Welcome to the trees with us! I understand the issue completely (see my sig line).
Check out the NEHHA hang Jan 4-6 in Western MA. About 30 plus hangers will be there, with enough food for an army! You can meet other hangers, see many different types of rigs and suspensions, have a great time, and get even more hooked than you are now!

Sounds like you guys had a great time!! It's also good to have neighbors like that. Welcome to the forum, from Ohio.
Kind of funny actually
My neighbors are so used to,,,, lets call it "Weird stuff" in my yard, that I suspect they didn't even notice me sleeping in the back yard, even though I often set up with a flashlight in the dark.
And, granted this is only a theory: The local Sheriff's department used to (before budget cuts) when they did training / patrol flights with the Helicopters: I would hear them coming straight at me @ about 60 mph,, as they got about to the front of my house would slow to about 40, then just as they passed over me, accelerate away. Theory part: I figure they were using me to calibrate or test their FLIR before going on patrol. Sometimes I would waive. They went over around 2200 (10PM) nearly every night. Haven't heard them in about 2 years, or right after they announced cut backs.

Nice neiborhood watch you have. Did you give your neibor a thank you?
As I was reading your story I was thinking of Skypainter too.
