The countrymen of Carancas (Peru) saw a luminous object that produced a loud sound when it impacted. Apparently it was a meteorite that crashed near the border with Bolivia.

Some countrymen of Guaqui, La Paz, heard a loud noise that sounded like an explosion on Saturday afternoon. They alerted the Police who went to the zone of impact near the Peruvian territory.

Meteorite crater

Apparently it is a meteorite. Yesterday it was not seen because it was under muddy water and it emanated a strange odor. The object made a crater 10 meters in diameter, according to the police.

The Peruvian News Agency (Andina) and radio Pachamama reported on the object.

Andina informed that "a non-identified luminous object fell from the sky and made a crater 6 meters deep and 30 meters in diameter in the community of Carancas, near the border of Bolivia, said the Territorial Police of Puno".

At the site of impact, said the agency, there were unknown remains of "calcified" mass. The incident didn't affect anyone, but the sound and the explosion were of a great magnitude.

Radio Pachamama informed that the incident caused a lot of preoccupation among the countrymen because yesterday in the morning there was a strange odor emanating from the crater and the countrymen were afraid that it could harm their health.

The National Police of Peru sent a contingent to investigate the site; meanwhile the Regional Health of Puno confirmed that they will send a specialist to the site today or tomorrow.

Other countrymen said that this incident was the precedent to a further disgrace, mainly in the agrarian year, although this is part of the countrymen's beliefs.

Modesto Montoya, of the Academy of Sciences and ex president of the Peruvian Institute of Nuclear Energy, discarded the incidents of disease outbreaks. A lot of meteorites fall in Peru, he told to Andina.

Wow!

And nothing reported in the Western Media about this. No surprise in that, as it follows a familiar pattern.

Yeah, Well...

By Laura

Anybody who is paying attention knows that something is up and the next one could very well be a lot bigger. I guess they'll sit up and take notice when one of them impacts a major metropolitan area or explodes overhead and wipes out whatever is on the ground below, including thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

They Still Fall In Desert And Rural Areas...But....

By Knowlaw777

Even this "little" one falling in the center of a big town would make a huge catastrophe. The Universe is being merciful in sending us enough warnings to SEE and be prepared to what will happen.

Well in the Australian Media, the same story but with some interesting points left out of the above article.

VILLAGERS in southern Peru have been struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area.

Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was a plane crashing near their remote village, 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 odour," 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 taken to hospital, Mr Lopez said.

Rescue teams and experts were dispatched to the scene where the meteorite had left a crater 30m wide and 6m deep, 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.

Strange Odor

By Navegante

It is interesting, because I initially heard rumors of a mysterious disease, but then it was discarded by this Nuclear Energy expert. But people have diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and headaches... There is a strange odor... And there are reports of 500 families affected. [Link]
