Achilleus Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/7001897.stm Scores ill in Peru 'meteor crash' Crater site Hundreds of people in Peru have needed treatment after an object from space - said to be a meteorite - plummeted to Earth in a remote area, officials say. They say the object left a deep crater after crashing down over the weekend near the town of Carancas in the Andes. People who visited the scene have been complaining of headaches, vomiting and nausea after inhaling gases. But some experts have questioned whether it was a meteorite or some other object that landed in Carancas. "Increasingly we think that people witnessed a fireball, which are not uncommon, went off to investigate and found a lake of sedimentary deposit, which may be full of smelly, methane rich organic matter," said Dr Caroline Smith, a meteorite expert at the London-based Natural History Museum. "This has been mistaken for a crater." A team of scientists is on its way to the site to collect samples and verify whether it was indeed a meteorite. I think there's also a certain psychological fear in the community Local mayor Nestor Quispe Can meteorites make you ill? Geologists have called on the authorities to stop people going near the crash site. A local journalist, Martine Hanlon, told the BBC experts did not believe the meteor would make anybody sick, but they did think a chemical reaction caused by its contact with the ground could release toxins such as sulphur and arsenic. An engineer from the Peruvian Nuclear Energy Institute told AFP news agency that no radiation had been detected from the crater. He ruled out any possibility that the fallen object might be a satellite. I know there is a alot of news threads Atm on Tif forums which are pissing people off, I just thought this kinda thing dosent happen very often ;-) I am wondering it is really is a meteor, Aliens from outer Space haha :uhh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peru is much more south and has better food. :D Lol this is true. As for the news. I'd say its most likely methane being released. What ever it is, you can rest a sure its just a chemical being released from where ever the meteorite came from. Not an alien invasion. -All sigs by me.[My Gallery] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak722 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 The Andromeda Strain seems more relevant... :-k The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak. In the event that the weighted companion cube does speak, the Enrichment Center urges you to disregard its advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying_death_bombs55 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Threads like these always get spammed.... Anywho, I think it might be methane, like many others. When you mentioned the Dragon Plates I had a sudden vision of a load of gangsters running around in fancy dress yealling "Grim Reaper in da hood!"
