Aliens Bombard Peru

Aliens launched a rock at a remote region of Peru. Local residents who visited the 65 feet wide and 22 feet deep crater that the rock left are reporting being nauseous and dizzy.

After hearing a loud noise, people went to see what had happened and found a crater 65 feet wide and 22 feet deep on an uninhabited plateau near Carancas in the Puno region.

Experts from Peru's Geophysical Institute are on their way to the area 800 miles south of Lima to verify whether it was a meteorite.

"We've examined about 100 people who got near to the meteorite crater who have vomiting and headaches because of gasses coming out of there," Jorge Lopez, health director in Puno, told Reuters.

"People are scared," he said.

Lopez said people went to the site after hearing a crash that they thought might be an airplane.

"We ourselves went near the crater and now we've got irritated throats and itching noses," Lopez said.

Hmm. Might want to stay away from craters for a while. (Scientists are saying that a meteorite can cause some gasses to be emitted on impact - which makes sense when you think about it.) Of course it may have nothing to do with the meteorite itself as some of these folks point out. We here at Blue Crab Boulevard are sticking with the alien bombardment, though.

UPDATE: AFP reports that the crater is 100 feet wide and 22 feet deep. Nothing from the AP yet, but we're pulling for them to make it even bigger - and add zombies.

UPDATE: We have pictures!

  Until Mulder, Scully, or one of the Lone Gunmen (who everyone knows actually faked their deaths) tell me otherwise, I’m just assuming the shadow government is suppressing the truth about the zombies’ existence, and their nefarious mission: to get Hugo Chavez.
