Reports so far indicate the aircraft with the engine issue was from Edwards. Has it been reported which aircraft was involved as that's also the location of the high alpha test aircraft.

As turbine failures are generally considered uncontainable this must be considered a serious event. As was the case with the a380 trent engine a few years ago issues upstream can be a cause, so as was mentioned above sending the entire engine back to Pratt would be prudent.
