Perhaps Senor Iluma was distracted by his inability to conjugate verbs in
the correct tense..  or maybe it was an alien taking off from the Nacza 
desert landing sites (ref. Charles Berlitz) or the last Incan revenge or
maybe an Ecuadorian crack commando squad unleashing technology
spawned from cancerous rocks from the Siberian forests, stolen by
men in black and flown by disguised UN helicopter in an effort to scare
the locals from growing dat white debbil cocaine so good nice WASP
boys and girls won't be tempted to sin and fawl shot adda gloray o'
Gawd...
