You are out in the countryside and you witness a spacecraft crash

What would you do?
I would take pictures and video and immediately upload to the WWW.
Why report it to the local "Authorities".
We know it would be suppressed on "National Security" grounds.
Would the uploader be charged under National Security laws?

Do we?

Would the uploader be charged

With what?
Perhaps it's different in Australia but I can't imagine that happening here in Norway.

under National Security laws?

What might they be?

If it happened here I would of course document it and upload the pictures and video to my Google and Microsoft accounts. I would call the fire brigade in case it caused a forest fire (it can be dry enough to have forest fires in midwinter in this part of Norway) and if it looked like it might be manned I would call an ambulance. In both cases I would try to give them access to the pictures and video.

Once that is done and if there is nothing more I can help with I would upload the footage to various other sites such as The Guardian, VG, Daily Mail.

We have all seen the movies where witnesses have disappeared. 😄
