I just posted something about this on Squidoo too... It seems like the news media is ignoring this right now... It's making me wonder if it's a hoax or something pretty serious... Here's my blog on it:

One of the more intriguing theories gathering momentum on the net is that the 'meteorite' might actually be a crashed US spy satellite. The KH-13 'brand' of thermal imaging reconnaissance satellites, purportedly weighing some 20 tons, is being discussed on some satellite watcher chat boards as the most likely candidate.
The United States has dozens of spy satellites in orbit that are not listed on any official registers of what's actually up there.

It has to be a hoax. No news media have picked it up. If it was a big meteor it would have been spotted half way around the world. Forget it.

Seems like a real crater, its on the BBC see link.
The incident took place on Saturday night, when people near Carancas in the remote Puno region, some 1,300km (800 miles) south of the Peruvian capital, Lima, reported seeing a fireball in the sky coming towards them.

It sounds like a hoax to me. Meteor hits are very rare.

I think it's a hoax.
The only thing I can find on network tv news is OJ. Noone is covering it.
Perhaps they are still investigating?
Interested to find out...
