There is a long held theory that life on Earth evolved from life forms raining down on Earth from other places. So far, there isn’t any proof of this, it just sounds logical. However, we might have some proof in the making right now:
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.
Now, my non-experienced thinking is this is one of two possibilities. First, and most likely, it’s fumes caused by the intense heat of the meteorite.
Second, and more intriguing to me, is it could be some virus from a far off galaxy. Pretty cool huh? Pretty unlikely tho.
A third possibility of course, it could be some man-made experiment
where a meteor was planted with a mutated gene and it crashed back to Earth.
