They say today's science fiction is tomorrow's science fact - and here's one right out of the books!
Way back in 1970 there was a book and then a movie entitled "The ANDROMEDA STRAIN" that was about a mysterious illness that plagued mankind after a meteorite crashed into the earth.
Well, today scientists and medical sleuths are in southern Peru trying to figure out and find the source of an outbreak of an unknown illness in the area ... and you guessed it - there was a meteorite to crash into the earth locally there just prior to the outbreak of the illness.
Are the two linked? No one is saying so and no one is saying no. But, one must remember science fiction today, science fact tomorrow?!
