How could someone cause a

I don't know. Ask an engineer.

Well...

Alton Meyer brought down an Air

Force satellite last night.

DSP9712.

- It was tasked with detecting...

- A nuclear explosion.

Yeah.

This is the last image.

Sent to us by the satellite.

We believe that's the boy...

...standing at the center

of that heat bloom.

Its not exactly a heat

bloom, but thats fine.

Whatever it is...

The satellites whole purpose

is detecting a nuclear event.

No radiation.

None.

Could a drone be programmed to search

for that specific heat signature?

Yeah.

We've got a field office in Mobile

we can base your team out of.

What about the interviews?

Youre done with those.

Like it or not,

youre the new resident

expert on Alton Meyer.

Let's go.

Breaking news at this hour.

...fell from space and

crushed near a gas station.
