Villagers in southern Peru have reportedly suffered headaches and vomiting after a meteorite crashed in the mountains near their homes. The meteorite left a crater 30 meters wide and 6 meters deep, from which boiling water and a smell of sulfur seem to be bubbling up. No word yet on why a meteorite would create such noxious fumes, but if a cylinder full of Martians rises from it, at least we know we just have to sneeze on them. More details here.
