Yes, technically "the impact of a meteorite" would indeed be an extraterrestrial impact, but the implications of using that word are obvious, making this click bait.

I was just about to start typing a comment along the lines of "come on now, you're really stretching it thin here". Then I took a second and realized that it really only means "not from earth" which yes, I guess any space rock is that.

i’m not comfortable with your nonchalance and complicit behavior with respect to the ancient yet ongoing and soon to become overwhelming alien bombardment we are currently facing as a planet

I've become numb to hyped headlines. ET didn't crash land. Link to pdf of original article from 1933. no https for Italy?: http://www.qattara.it/DESERTO%20EGIZIANO_FILES/silica.pdf 1933 must be a record for resurrecting old news. sciencealert claims to be timely, ya right https://www.sciencealert.com/cannabis-use-linked-to-epigenetic-changes-scientists-reveal is 6 months old. At least they link to sources for further reading.
