Selected excerpt:

“Making his way carefully so as to not spill his coffee, the Air Force brigadier general walked around rows of electronic consoles until he arrived at the airman’s. He examined the screen. General Benson continued to stare at it in disbelief for a full five seconds.

“He punched in a command on the terminal that patched the display to the “Big Board.” Benson hit another button, causing a piercing, two-second dual-tone alert to sound, warning everyone in the amphitheater that a priority event was in progress.

“Everyone now had the same view as Benson and the airman: the board displayed a reddish-brown “hotspot” over central West Virginia—the unmistakable real-time signature of a thermal event observed by an early-warning satellite. Jaws dropped. The room, which moments earlier had been bustling with activity and chatter, suddenly became deathly silent.”
