Meteorite Update

Check out the recent article from Space.com 'Meteorite' Crash Breeds Mass Hysteria. It looks like I might have a future in professional psychological speculation. (You can read my original post "Meteorite Sickens Peruvian Villagers" here.)

Then again, what if that is what they want us to think? I mean, I haven't actually been down to the crash site. And where are all of the sick villagers now? Is this a cover up for a global conspiracy about alien viruses, and if not, a highly advanced weapon that is not supposed to exist? This could be a case for Scully and Mulder. Or not.

Would anyone else like to throw in a conspiracy theory or two? This is one of my favorite ways to waste time at work.

Personally, I think that the meteorite didn't crash into us, but we crashed into it. During the course of nuclear weapons testing, a bomb was detonated in the exact opposite direction of the center of the earth, the recoil of which caused the earth to temporarily go slightly out of orbit, when we hit the meteorite, which happened to be in a parallel orbit at the time. The earth rebounded back into its usual orbit because of the strong gravitational pull of the sun and the overall damage that was done is still being assessed by scientists. Strange shifts in weather patterns may be attributed to such a cause in addition to future natural disasters. As for the Peruvian villagers, my guess is motion sickness. Oh, and the area in which the bomb was detonated was subsequently showered with the carcasses of dead birds that had the misfortune to fly directly over the site. Poor birds.
