I wonder if the cigarette smoking man was involved?
Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village – AFP: Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.
Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their remote village, located in the high Andes department of Puno in the Desaguadero region, near the border with Bolivia.
Residents complained of headaches and vomiting brought on by a “strange odor,” local health department official Jorge Lopez told Peruvian radio RPP.
Seven policemen who went to check on the reports also became ill and had to be given oxygen before being hospitalized, Lopez said.
Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene, where the meteorite left a 100-foot-wide (30-meter-wide) and 20-foot-deep (six-meter-deep) crater, said local official Marco Limache.
“Boiling water started coming out of the crater and particles of rock and cinders were found nearby. Residents are very concerned,” he said.
How strange that nobody commented on the reference to the X-Files episode ‘Tunguska’, which explains the picture I chose for the post. I guess too much time has passed since the X-files ended.
When it happened in Northern California, it was a volcano. But when it happened in Peru, it’s blamed on a UFO or meteor. It all about what they want to believe in. And that’s why they’re so screwed up down there. Because they’re looking for too much of a supernatural explanation, to everything that happens to them. The results of a poor educational system (if any). But at least they got their Saints!
