It’s not that I doubt that it was a scud impact, but rather, that I don’t see any reason to discount the meteorite theory based on the reasons given thus far:

The impact crater isn’t shaped right.

The impact crater is too small

There’s never been a meteorite that made people sick.

I’m no astronomer but isn’t it possible that the object was shaped in such a way that it was slowed more than usual by friction or drag. Could it have been a piece of icy mud that didn’t become completely vaporized in the atmosphere? I dunno…

but you would think that a scud would leave scud-parts at the scene, and the fuming nitric screaming meme stuff would burn up in the explosion…no?

Peruvians are probably always getting sick. But the history of mankind is mostly unknown. We don’t know if anyone ever got sick from a meteorite before we started recording our history. For all we know, HIV could’ve come here on a meteorite.

We could’ve come here on a meteorite.

Wouldnt the meteorite have been broken down to nothing by the atmosphere? If it caused a 100ft wide 20 ft hole that big on the ground then that meteorite sure had to be really big. What I’m saying is that if it were that big wouldn’t somebody have noticed it coming towards earth? Don’t we have astronomers and other scientist observing the skys? Space? Don’t you guys think somebody would have saw a 30 meter wide meteor coming towards earth??

Here’s another story that sheds a little better light on this thing.

http://forgetomori.com/2007/skepticism/peru-crater-meteorite-secret-satellites-and-zombies/

Near the bottom is a photo of an impact crater created by an errant Russian rocket and the story mentions Phil’s SCUD theory.

The crater is similar to the one in Peru, so this type of thing can and does happen but the size of the rocket and amount of propellant required to blast a crater of the size in Peru rules out a SCUD missile as the culprit to thre Peru crater but we already knew this didn’t we?

Finally, a snippet of reality!
My referance to the meteor hitting a pile of alpaca sh*t was tounge-in-cheek. That is… …sarcastic. ‘ Just my reaction to all the nin-cum-poop (no pun intended) Ca ca-maney (OK, pun intended) SCUD-alien zomby theories running rampid on this internet. My apologies if I got any crap on your shoes.
P.S. I have a feeling that with lack of fuel at this remote high-altitude location, alpaca dung has a much better use than to sit around in a pile collecting meteorites.
P.P.S. North America is a pretty large and diverse place to be making a generalization like “nice homogenous glacial fill.” Could you please clue me in to where I might find this part of N.A.?
