Upper Atmosphere of Earth

The sky above Windsor darkens as the meteorite's surface glows white-hot, its heat shimmering against the thinning air. The descent creates a low, rumbling vibration that carries for miles, a sound like distant artillery mixed with the shriek of metal tearing through sky. Below, faint outlines of Windsor’s rooftops and church spires blur into the gathering twilight. The meteorite brings no fire or light of its own—only the ominous radiance of a dying star captured mid-fall, streaking through the stratosphere toward its appointed crash site.
