During the night, while the boys are asleep, 10 miles above the island a battle is taking place. Although the flashes are visible the sounds that are made cannot be heard. The dead body of one pilot, which is attached to a parachute, slowly drifts down through the air, buffeted and subjected to changes of direction by the wind. The body of the dead parachutist eventually lands on the mountain top.

At the begining of the book Piggy and Ralph discuss how they reached the island and the basic story is that they were being evacuated away from the war zone by airplane. During a storm the plane was atatcked and the "passenger tubes" was ejected. The "passenger tube" crash landed on the island during the night and was soon after dragged out to sea by the large waves caused by the storm, with some of the boys (and presumably any adults) who were still on board. The scar in the jungle was made by the "passenger tube" when it crash landed.
