Six (Thousand) Feet Under

At long last, we reached the bottom of the shaft, and made an astonishing discovery: mangled by the crash and half-melted during atmospheric reentry, it is nonetheless indisputably a spacecraft of advanced, alien design. Despite being buried under thousands of tons of debris after enduring a catastrophic descent, it is remarkably intact. The ship was found with the prow pointing downward, which leads to the assumption that it went straight into the planet at extremely high velocity. We will probably never know why. How the ship managed to retain structural integrity despite all this is up for debate, but the strongest theory is that it was encased in some form of advanced energy field far beyond our own most cutting edge technologies. Limned in incinerating light, the craft shot through the planet's crust like a superheated projectile, until finally grinding to a halt in the darkness.
