Operator: Alright ma’am a deputy is on the way.

Name Twilight Sparkle
Location: Approximately 72 miles from Appleoosa
Commander Twilight looked over the scene before her. Equestrian Defence Force helicopters flew around the area on patrol as troopers moved equipment from the backs of trucks to tents under the light of the large flood lights that ha been set up and tied into generators.
The EDF had been alerted to an unidentified aircraft by the local sheriff's department from Appleoosa and when some troopers investigated they confirmed i
The EDF then mobilized taking over the scene and set up a perimeter around the area for safety.
Twilight had been contacted immediately back at The Castle of Friendship and flown here as fast as she could finding Chrysalis already on site. After being brought up to speed on the findings from the interview with the farmer who called it in, some farmhooves that investigated the craft as wella s the sheriff deputy who also investigated as wella s the scans that had been taken of the area.
Slowly Twilight walked through the chaos ignoring trooper who saluted her as she walked eyes locked on the creator the camp surrounded.
The fires had long since gone out but it was clear whatever it was had hit the ground hard.
behind Twilight flanking her were ehr two sentry bots Celestia and Luna, brought along do to the possibility of hostile incursion.
according to the briefing twilight had gotten upon arrived there had been no movement from the craft and no signs of a cockpit.
Soon she left the camp proper and entered the cordoned off area approaching the creator her mind racing. Was this some experiment spy plane they were unaware of? If so who’s was it? Why did it crash? What was it spying on?
Reaching the edge of the creator she peered down into it and saw the craft. Like the report said she saw no cockpit though the craft was large enough to have one as it was the size of a small single engine plane. though it was missing wings and...had what almost looked to be small thrusters on it and was a teardrop shape.
Twilight could see no markings on it as she descended to the creator carefully, the thing had been scanned with every energy detection equipment available and outside of very low levels of radiation that was barely detectable there was nothing dangerous about it.
Reaching it she looked it over, the entire outside was blackened from heat and a few other reports had this thing ”falling” from the sky….So either it was at a high enough altitude to be considered a low orbit and traveling extremely fast…..for it came from higher.
Harmony Station was reviewing its data to try and determine if they detected anything around the time of the crash but there was a lot of data the space station collected so it would take time.
“Strange isn’t it?” Chrysalis said behind Twilight.
She nodded. “Yeah...this isn't like anything i've seen before….i can’t figure out how it even stays airborne with such a design.” She said carefully running a hoof over it. The metal matched the ambient temperature so nothing odd about that.
“Same….we have a truck and a crane coming so we can try to move it to a research lab for better study but preliminary finding are that it is some sort of craft that traveled at high speed.” She said. “Some of the troopers are talking about aliens.”
Twilight chuckled at that, while other life was theorized to exist there was nothing to confirm it as true. though Twilight admitted this was ding a good job of being possible evidence Twilight had to admit.
“ Personally i have no opinion either way as changeling shave never encounter such beings and we have no reason to think on what we don’t know. Chrysalis said. “Can't really form a plan when the unknown could be anything.”
Twilight nodded as she saw the sense in that.
“SO you have any ideas?” Chrysalis asked.
“Hmm...right now...no….i’m not ruling anything out. This could just as easily be a weather satellite from one of the other nations or some wealthy person’s personal prototype.” She said and stopped her hoof on the metal...was the thing….vibrating?
She frowned as she felt it. Yes it was and it was getting stronger.
Suddenly one of the possible thruster ports belched out smoke as the craft started to rubble and shake. A high pitched whine that sounded like someone strangling a cat started to emanate from it as a panel on it suddenly exploded out in a shower of sparks and flame.
“Shit! EVERYONE BACK!” Twilight yelled in The Royal Canterlot Voice ash she started to move, Chrysalis moving as well along with the sentry bots.
A moment later there was a massive flash of pure white light and a roaring sound.
The shockwave knocked those closest to the crater from their hooves and toppels a few tents over.
when the light faded so the trooper could see again the creator had doubled in size. though unlike before the creator was an almost perfectly smooth bowl shape, though what was more concerning to the trooper was the fact The Commander, The Major and the two sentry bots along with the craft where gone.
the Captain in charge immediately order a report sent straight to Canterlot marked priority for the Princesses as something had just gone seriously wrong at the crash site.
