Three men sit in a news studio in New York City, talking quietly with each other before the tapes start rolling. The one in the center coughs quietly before reading off the teleprompter.

"In special news today, we have learned that a falling truck has made its way through the atmosphere and has demolished parts of downtown Manhattan. I know folks, I'm as surprised as you are, but even more so, we give our condolences to all the victims of the crisis. Experts are still analyzing possible causes, but we have here today a special expert in all things extraterrestrial, writer of the book Aliens and Me, and the one that predicted this ages ago, Dr. Albone!"

The man, with a gray mustache which he is now twirling, then speaks with a smooth and calming accent, "Thank you, Tom, for inviting me to speak here today. As I have written in my book, this is a case A of alien contact. Are they hostile, or is this just an accident. Are they sapient, what are their technology levels? We can only speculate. For the moment, we might assume they are a highly-advance civilization pulling a prank since I can see no other way to make a truck that survives the entry to the atmosphere and teleport it out of nowhere into our atmosphere without advanced technology, or a reason to in the first place. This is minorly worrying though that our first contact has resulted in so many casualties."

Tom nods, "Indeed, it is Dr. Albone." Before turning to his right, "We have one other correspondent with us today, someone that was near the scene when it happened. What is your opinion, Mr. Tucker."

Tucker straightens up, being dressed in his finest clothing he strikes quite the image, looks straight at the camera and says simply, "Well, Tom. It looks like the truckers finally went crazy."

Looks of confusion cross the other two Albone’s and Tom’s faces.
