Last week, a bunch of meteors fell in England. Because humans really are just a bunch of apes, we immediately ran over to touch the space rock. Scientists from the UK Fireball Alliance had to tell the people no, do not touch the alien stones. It contaminates them and then we can't learn stuff.
Wait, I think I buried the lede here. UK FIREBALL ALLIANCE? The "Fireball Alliance" is what me and my buddies used to call ourselves when we went out to drink cinnamon whiskey.
