Coloquially known as "shrieking stars" among locals, this phenomenon is entirely unique to the town of Gravity Falls, Oregon, for reasons currently outside of my understanding.

They would be rather easy to miss by one who is not actively looking for them- if not for the ear splitting, whistling shriek which accompanies their swift descent from the sky. During meteor showers, one might compare the sound to that of a firework show, or perhaps an orchestra of particularly cacaphonous slide whistle players.

I have attempted numerous times the recovery of the meteorite debris for further research, but the impact craters continue to elude me. It is highly likely that the "stars" simply burn up on their way through the atmosphere before they could ever reach the Earth, as is commonplace with regular shooting stars. Still, I would very much like to study their remains for potential extraterrestial materia for prosperity's sake.
