A dark Spring night in early April, Jackson Henderson, a tall athletic built, clean cut, attractive, biracial compassionate man stands under the moon lit sky detailing his vehicle. A few feet behind him is his neighbor Dana Pitts, brown skin African American, short, butch type lesbian, reserved, intuitive, and another lesbians dream companion. As they casually converse about what they look for in a companion, Dana is suddenly distracted gazing up at the sky in astonishment. Realizing she has yet to respond to his statement, Jackson stands upright from squatting and cleaning his tires turning to his attention grasped friend. 
  "So I guess I'm talking to myself now?" Jackson asked with a smirk on his face.
Still receiving no reply he frowns at Dana with a lost expression on his face before asking,
   "What in the world are you..."
While speaking, Jackson follows Dana's gaze to be taken back and silenced as well. He too stares up at the moonlit sky in astonishment.
 Stuttering across her words, Dana says, "The..moon..the moon.." Dana shakes her head trying to get her words out but the shock makes this difficult. She continues in exclaiming "It has never been this bright as long as I've been on this earth". 
Dana then slowly raises her arm, pointing at the sky inches away from the moon. Even more astonished than previously, she stutters again as she ask Jackson, " Wha..what's.."

Jackson gradually answers Dana, interrupting her sentence, he replies, "I have absolutely.. No idea. Never seen anything like this. Where's your phone?" 

                         PART 1
Dana reaches into her pocket and pulls out her cell phone. While doing so, she ask, 
"You thinking I should be recording this?" 

Jackson slowly nods, still intensely gazing at the sky, cuffing his chin with his arms folded across his chest.

Dana pulls up the camcorder app in her cellphone and begins recording the bright white ball of light descending from the moon in a steady but slow speed. Dana's mouth drops open when she's able to discern where the ball of light is heading. Its coming towards earth.
