"Skywatching: Humans Land as Martian Invasion Begins"
Skeptical Inquirer magazine examines the claim of an Earthling slain by an invader from Mars, which turns out to be a dog killed by a meteorite. While most meteorites do not come from Mars, a small group known as the SNC meteorites have characteristics suggesting they originated from the red planet. The theory is that an ancient meteorite impact on Mars ejected material into space, and one piece eventually fell to Earth. However, the claim of a dog being vaporized by a meteorite remains unverified.
