Just the other week, there were reports of mysterious objects falling from the sky that turned out to be frozen human waste from an aeroplane.
Now, villagers in Peru have seen three mysterious objects falling from the sky engulfed in flames. The fireballs were seen by residents of the Larancahuani community in the Andean region of Puno, Peru, who were worried about a meteor following soon after.
But it turns out these spheres - which had been filmed earlier and spread across social media - were probably man-made. Well, that's kind of the assumption, but nobody actually sounds too sure.
On the one hand, the Peruvian Air Force said the incident may have been the re-entry of the SL-23 rocket - and the three objects were fuel tanks from a satellite.
In direct contrast to that, however, Romulo Barros, the chief of the fire service in the Brazilian municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, said that the local Navigation Centre had said the object was probably a meteorite and that the object had landed somewhere in the border region between Acre and Peru.
He also confirmed there had been no international flights in the airspace at the time of the incident, which does make things a little bit more bizarre.
But meteorologist Alejandro Fonesca of the Universidade Federal do Acre, stated that no meteorites had been predicted to fall in the area, making the whole damn thing one giant fireball of confusion.
Instead, he put forward the theory that the ball was likely to be made up of space debris - man-made objects like old satellites that are left in space once use of them has been discontinued.
"When the debris enters the atmosphere it comes under intense friction and this causes it to set on fire," he said, according to MailOnline. "That is what could have happened."
They're pretty huge balls, too, judging by the pictures, and would have probably caused serious harm if they'd fallen on someone. But whatever they are, it's certainly better than a meteorite, which could have seen us go the exact same way as the dinosaurs.
And it's definitely better than a ball of frozen poo, but then most things are. And we'll take this over any kind of attack by aliens, too.
