a hungry astronomer spent all night long and inthe evening down suddenly a  blackout

lights occurs-a strange signal can be read in his eletronic astronomer devices;

his car dail to turn on and he start running in a local road to tell people about

a strange object in the sky  is the cause of that interference;

 when you think he will stop at a huge  observatory open near  the road

he goes direct to Penny 

 buy a celular/ camera  and a fresh meal instead. First to Penny.
