HX-909-A

Date: 2008-04-19 23:33 EST
Within whatever usual reports make it to the Governor's desk, one marked as urgent stood out. Within, the report detailed how at 8:27 PM on 4/19 a firefight erupted over the Marketplace of RhyDin City. The report describes how a total of four aircraft of unknown origin or type were seen overflying the city and surrounding terrain. Shortly after their arrival one craft was shot down by a ground-based missile attack. Two more of the aircraft were then shot down shortly later, witnesses described two blue-white beams originating from in or near the Marketplace to have destroyed these two. Finally the report describes how the surviving aircraft climbed as if for orbit, only to roll and dive back towards the Market, firing off one missile. Scanners stationed within the starport reported radiological warnings, indicating the missile was nuclear equipped. Shortly after launch, but before impact, the missile exploded in midair, and another beam attack finally destroyed the last airfract.

Witnesses questioned at the scene described three figures in the Market at this time, one was wearing green colored, high-tech battle armor, another was a seemingly human which witnesses could not describe well enough, and the third appeared to be a giant mechanical insect of some kind.

At present it was unknown exactly what these events indicated, but an active investigation was recommended.
