27 September, 2007 (10:15) | Jam-Files | No comments

This is a pretty odd report … Why? Its the first meteorite story I’ve heard of where people in the surrounding area to the impact site fell ill. Seems to have made animal and people very sick (200 people by all accounts).
“It was 11:45 AM on Saturday, September 15, 2007, when alpaca farmer, [...]

Not very many people are aware of this issue at the moment but it’s something that needs some serious attention as far as i’m concerned.
“‘Nuke the whales” stickers have made the suffering of these animals a joke, but they are enduring a ferocious new onslaught from Naval sonars that have recently been deployed.
