A meteor reportedly struck between Pennsylvania and Ohio. The author humorously equates this event to the beginning of an alien invasion, a catastrophic global event that would crash the market. The author proposes buying puts on the S&P 500 (SPY) to profit from the potential market collapse caused by this "alien invasion." The meteor event is likely insignificant or non-existent, and the connection to an alien invasion is fictional. The market is highly unlikely to react to this news.
