The defective satellite spy which was  adrift at space was reached yesterday by an American missile before entering the terrestrial atmosphere. according to U.S.A.government, the satellite could cause damages, because the tank was full of hydrazine, an highly toxic fuel that attacks the central nervous system and can kill. The missile endowed with an impact ogive, that does not contain explosives was launched of the warship USS Lake Erie in the Pacific Ocean, the northwest of the Hawaii. The collision  occurred at an agreed speed of 35,4  thousand kilometers in a point 210 kilometers above of the terrestrial surface. The Pentagon waited that the space bus Atlântis would land in Flórida, after a mission of almost two weeks in the space, to conclude the operation, with a cost estimated of until USS60 millions to destroy the satellite, launched in 2006 with 2,2 tons, was used a missile SM 3, whose software was modified to recognize this object. In a signal of the political importance  of the mission, the order of launching of the missile was reserved to the secretary of defense of U.S.A., Robert Gates, and not to a military commander. The falling of the Satellite caused protests from some governments, such as of China, that consider the mission a disguise for the test  of anti-satellite weapons, what  could affect espionage and communication satellites of other countries. This is the case that more resembles the case of the possible satellite spy which fell in Peru in 2007. In the afternoon of 15 of September of 2007, inhabitants of a village next to the Titicaca Lake in the south to Peru listened to a  deafening racket, looked at  the sky and saw a ball fire  cutting the sky. The object reached the ground, produced a  very high racket, shaking the soil and throwing fragments in a ray of 250 meters of the impact point. The event resulted in a crater of about 5 meters of depth and 17 meters of diameter. The impact of the object registered 1,5 points in the Richter scale. But before scientists were able to say what had happened, hundreds of local inhabitants  became sick. About 600 people  became ill, some of them after visiting the crater. Some of people who got ill  told they had nausea, vomiting and migraine. Beyond the illness that  spread, several other mysterious events  happened. Information at the time said that inhabitants had affirmed that the water in the crater  boiled for some minutes after the impact and that there was smell of sulphur in the air. All these events generated speculations on what really happened and why the people were sick. Many different ideas had appeared and several of them having suggested a meteorite impact. Some  asked themselves if the impact of a meteorite could have launched harmful gases and possible radiation. Others said that it was no meteorite and that a natural gêiser or a small volcanic eruption  must have expelled gases from underneath the ground. Other news mentioned a "fire ball" as the possible cause of the explosion. Finally, a surprising article from a news agency published in the Russian tablóide Pravda circulated in the InterNet; the author affirmed that as part of an elaborated conspiracy, the American government knocked down its own satellite spy, which then spilled radioactive fuel when it hit the Andes. This fuel (Hydrazine) could be the same fuel that is used in the satellite that was knocked down by U.S.A., and that, probably they were testing weapons and they could have made a mistake and this satellite have fallen in Peru, but as the EUA  does not make the same error two times this time was the right target, and that they could very well be testing the software that was modified in the missile "to recognize the object, satellite" so that there would not be any errors!
