Meteorite causes illness.

I just had the privilege of hearing Neil Stephenson, author of Snow Crash, give a talk about some of his past work and new stuff, he pointed out this news story. Apparently a meteorite that crashed into Peru Saturday has caused locals to become ill and farm animals to die!

As Neil stated, talk about the best sci-fi (real) news story in our generation to appear in the media. Maybe the Martians are clearing the area of life for a debut shortly.
