Phosphorous.
Happened to some dummass kid at our high school as well.
The chem teacher was showing the class how phosporous burst into flame when exposed to air, and the kid thought it was so cool, he tried to steal some in his pants pocket.

Elemental sodium and potassium react violently with water and explode. Phosphorus will burn even when wet, though I'm not sure what it takes to start it burning.

Sounds like a potential alternative energy source to me. Maybe she can finagle a contract with Obama’s Department of Green Energy.

Well, whose shorts haven’t been on fire at one time or another? Usually after eating hot peppers.

Don’t phosphorous and sodium burn when dry? Or is just sodium. Posphorus burns when dry. It should be kept wet for storage.
Sodium slowy oxidises when dry. In the presence of water, it burns intensely. It should not be kept wet for any kind of storage.

Phosphorus will burn even when wet, though I'm not sure what it takes to start it burning.Be careful not to wet your pants when packing phosphorus rocks.

Yep, don’t get your phosphorous storage mixed up with your sodium metal storage...
Sodium metal should be kept in something besides water that protects it from the air. IIRC, my chem teacher kept it in alcohol.

I’m tired of over-thinking things so I’m just going with ‘ancient aliens’ from now on.
Simplify.
