Next the meteor will unscrew itself and a Martian Tripod will emerge…
September 18, 2007
BBC Reports scores of people sick in Peru from fetid gasses emerging from a meteor crater. But this is just a little postcard from the cosmos, and the jumping-off point for the topic of this week’s Science Friday post…
UPDATE:
- 25 September – Highly Allochthonous reports that while the crater is extraterrestrial, the illness is not.
- 18 September ‘07 Peruvian astronomers say it was probably a meteorite. There are still some odd effects that don’t quite add up but they do feel it was an object from space. I will be watching this story to see what they finally discover.
- And trust Pravda to bring the crazy as they assert it was a US spy satellite brought down by our own air force, as part of a nuclear attack on Iran… huh?
