Incredible pic of Red Sprite Lightning

And the music is always that kind of synthetic, pseudo-dynamic'n'exciting shtick. It's such a cliché, but they feel they have to do it, to be hip and trendy news broadcasters, copying all the rest.

The music on radio documentaries is a new thing, creeping in over only the last couple of years. Some twit has got the idea that, because they use it on TV, to accompany pictures, they should also do the same on radio. But because there are no pictures, radio is a more strictly linear form of communication in which the speaker's voice is all the listener has. Anything that interrupts that wrecks the experience. It must be especially bad for people whose hearing is not 100%.

Could you imagine music being played when the BBC was transmitting those spoken sentences to WW2 resistance fighters?
"Jack has pushed Jill down the well" " Jill has now punched Jack on the nose".
Probably the BBC news department now has its own music technician along side its sound technician. It creates employment.

The space ship must have been a different sighting to the sprite.
Too easy, try again

You’re making the mistake of thinking that green tree and grass is reflecting real sunlight.

Oh yes, I've no doubt the costs go up for this distracting musical embellishment. Perhaps there are even royalties to pay, if it is not synthesised.
