[Video, shortly after midnight]

[What begins as merely trying to catch a meteor on record for his own personal interest and for various friends rather quickly became something else entirely. And Lyall spent a few minutes afterwards figuring out how to upload what he caught on his device onto the network.

So everyone gets a nice video of the second two thirds of that falling object's trajectory, and a couple seconds of the beginnings of a warm glow on the horizon. Then they get Lyall coming on the screen right after. He's out in the more local woods, dressed only in his coat, and looking a little bit rumpled, for once. His voice, however, is a bit deadpan as he speaks to the practical and pointedly doesn't mention the bit about the thing from space.]

I believe there may be a fire starting in the western forest. If there are still Authorities monitoring this channel, someone may wish to be dispatched to contain it, unless there isn't much risk of it spreading too far.

[Luke had been watching the falling object and from the background of the video feed it's obvious that he's run outside to watch, too.]

I don't know, I'm not sure if the Authorities are going to bother with this one. They're probably used to bits of debris falling from the sky. It's pretty common in the decades following a space battle.

Personally, I think a trip out to the crash site might be in order.

[Well, by the time the video is posted, the object is long gone from the sky.]

I imagine it will wind up happening, indeed. I've already already spoken with a boy making plans for just that, on behalf of his brother.
