"Conspiracy theorists who watched too many episodes of the X-Files will jump to the usual conclusions: that the meteor was a) an experimental military craft or b) the first warning shot in the upcoming interstellar war."

Wow, that's some good journalism!! Very disconnected; no bias there at all!

It'd be completely unlikely that conspiracy theorists would come up with a rational explanation for anything, wouldn't it?

I'd truly like to know where this cabal of insane maniacs live....

Conspiracy theorist--the new perjorative of 2007.

This was a site of great oil pollution in 2000 when a supply pipe broke. Might explain strange gas.

I don't think much of value is being added to this story by dismissively alluding to old television series. I'd prefer some factual information please, not sneering arrogance and fluff.

When did the CBC start contracting out the reporting of the news to the blogosphere, anyway?

If it won't play on my ipod and I can't burn the songs onto cd for my car-- then forget it. Once I read that it was over for me. Between my 2 ipods and my MacBook I'm in technolust geek heaven anyhow.

I really don't think that E.T. is out there
throwing rocks at us. I just want some facts
about the meteor.The "NEWS" has not given
very much info.

I read an article that suggested something similar happened in Peru in 2002 and 2004. Well that settles it then. Peruvian country-folk are apparently allergic to meteorites.

Hahahaha, nice one Claudio, perhaps we should spray them down with some anti-allergens?

HELLO REACTIVE!

i think we should find out what kind of fumes came from the meteor and if so when will we find out?

-= Reports are coming in that there is a massive cover-up taking place here. =- Citizens are being detained, questioned and released. They are being told not to talk about the impact site.
