meteor was considerable smaller than the moon - maybe it wouldn't have been a big enough bang.
*nods* Or maybe the meteor would have destroyed the alien things in impact--the moon would have torn the Earth apart prior to impact. So, after re-watching the episode, I've decided that that's easy enough to fanwank that I withdraw that objection.
Sarah Jane didn't get arrested because a military intelligence outfit (UNIT) told the police that she was secretly allowed to kidnap teenage boys if she thought she had a good reason.
Sarah really did have a good reason, though. So I'm assuming that UNIT either knew what that reason was or had some other means of checking up on her, and wasn't just letting her do whatever she wanted because they liked her.
Although her relationship with UNIT is certainly troubling in some ways, although I can't quite articulate why.
