Those are some dumb soldiers. This truck is coming from the exact direction of the mysterious crash, at just the right time to be leaving the scene, doing the opposite of the natural human tendency to investigate incidents like this, and they don't try to stop said truck. Even though they're on their way to establish a perimeter.

It's far enough that they could be just passersby. To the boot there was no order to detain anybody en route, and initiative is punishable in the army.

Depends on the army. Certainly though in this situation, they're going to be tunnel visioned in and forget about this. Though if the kid gets pulled over by a sheriff, he and his friends iwll be asked if they have been drinking and who is in the furry suit in the bed.

TRIVIA
Many homeworlds of the respective species are still divided into countries, but freshly established colonies on other planets are almost always monolithic and basically independent, since they sprawled from a single initial outpost, and time lag involved due to interstellar distances making remote management of the colony from a homeworld to be ineffective and frustrating at best.
