(LIP-ir) -- Peru's Government News Agency reported yesterday that at least seven police officers were affected after they collected samples from the landing site of what is thought to be meteorite.

It was reported that a glowing object fell from the sky and crashed in the town of Carancas, located in the Region of Puno, Peru.

Regional Health Director, Jorge López Tejada, stated that the police officers had been dizzy, nauseous and some were vomiting.

The officers which had been sent to collect samples from the supposed meteorite site were sent to the Desaguadero Hospital and later to the Police Hospital in Puno, Peru.

Peru's RPP News reported that Tejada stated, "At Desaguadero they were given oxygen and rehydrated. Once they were stabilized they were sent to the other hospital." In addition, Tejada stated that there was a strong odor in the area which was causing panic among the townspeople.

Tejada also informed that there are 500 families which live near the supposed meteorite landing site which have been affected with nausea, migraines and vomiting. He has requested that police authorities close off the landing site so that people do not continue getting to close.

I wonder if there will be any Jordy Verrill's running around? Every one knows Jordy right? Stephen King played this part in the first Creepshow flick.

Look up Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator. 

Metorites are not generally radioactive.  7 minutes, not 7 days, should answer the question with a Geiger counter.  Somebody is not telling the whole story.

Most likely a Radioisotope Generator/Space junk falling. Everyone has so much CRAP up there. And, if they can let it fall on the poor Puruvians, they will. Definatley not telling the truth!

U.S. Air Force Space Command should know.  They track all the satellite stuff and space junk that's fit to fall if it ain't too small.  Wouldn't be surprised it was Chinese from their satellite 'kinetic kill' demo, they added 10,000 pieces of orbital junk in one instant  in highly elliptical orbits; and most of it is so small it can't be tracked.  They're jealous of the US, EU, Rus Space Station and desire to eliminate it so that they can loft their own and choose JV partners on their own terms.   Esp. they would like to wipe out all the US spy and mil-com satellites to prepare for the invasion of Taiwan. 
 Or maybe the toilet on the SS stopped up and they had to pitch the b****.
 Or maybe a flying saucer boss kicked out the fat guy who farted .

Whatta world!  TT

most likely they will find the meteor crater opened a natural pocket of hydrogen sulfide gas from old rotting vegetable mater.

this is common in areas of flat land with a high water table.

note the large amount of water in the crater plus the area looks to be a river flood plain.

layers of mud over vegetable mater trap the gasses.

i have found these hydrogen sulfide traps many times while gold mining in river flood plains.

i have seen people almost killed by these traps.

all the symptoms of the people that were at the site fit the classic symptoms of hydrogen sulfide poisoning.

Well ihaven't heard much from my new little friends from  above,must be still deciding what they have got themselves into or got a bit lost in what steps to take next or what direction to  go to find the culprites behind the dumping of all the crap up there, on their side of the fence and as mentioned  in the prior post,want their (soil samples) that were take illegally from there planet. Good on you little (Beep-Beep) Don 't let any bunga stuff up you world or take over. You are probably more advanced in technology anyway.  No free trade to earthlings.  Peace little Buddies.

and from other sources they've just continuing saying

that after "team of doctors" had arrived at the site, nothing of above mentioned had happened! the people just were frightened by the sound of meteor! hmm.. very clever!! so police guys were frightened two! yeah may be the fat guy!  it will be harder to find out truth now, when they started to change the story.
but the facts are:
No. 1 - that was a meteor.
No. 2 - something poisonous from meteor or from soil.
No. 3 - they are hiding results allready.
