Through out the course of the story a dead pilot attached to parachute descends from the sky, after having its plane shot at with a missile. This happens at night while all the boys are asleep. While falling the parachute attached to the dead body gets caught in some trees far through the mountain. The first to see this are the twins because they are the ones on duty of the fire at the time, but because it was just early morning they did not see it properly and thought it was the beast. The twins run off to tell Ralph and the others of there sightings. As a result of this news, Ralph, Jack and the other hunters set off into the mountain to hunt the beast and kill it. As they arrive at the scene of the fallen dead pilot at night, they too set of running believing that it is the beast. The dead pilot is the starter off of the many situations that occur further on in the story. Its one of the reasons why Jack seprates himself from the group.
