Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village
LIMA - 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.

Hm... we have been having some trouble with the post lately..
I was expecting some more canisters of our new 'invisible, slow-acting'
black smoke...
Maybe the Martians in the aiming department are getting lazy, we could
also be having some trouble again with the consistency of the biped
brains we use as bearing lubricant on the Great Gun..
However There is a distinct possibility that Venusian Terrorists could
be at work!
I'll have to look into this... Peru huh? That's where they built all
those temples underneath our crystal eggs and made our observers in
their winged harnesses into gods.. I mean do I really look that much
like a feathered snake? Trouble is that there is also Cohotec and his
Vampire kingdom.. they weren't too happy about Cap'n Bayne traipsing
through the kingdom spreading dissent and sedition through the flocks
of Giant Vampire Bats and don't get me started on the diplomatic
troubles we had with the Empire of the Ants.. sheesh! I have no sense
of smell how am I supposed to know which scent trail leads to the
Banquet Hall and which to the Queens Private Chambers!
Last I heard Moreau was not far from there though.. I have a little
business to settle with him.....
We beat you last time you bunch of cephalapoid rotters!
While we would prefer to avoid another calamatious invasion, or mirobial allies will once again help us defeat you!
