Ein Meteorit ...


Explanation:
Ein Meteorit, der fremde Organismen mit sich bringt, schlaegt in der Wueste von Mexiko ein.

I'm not so sure about your original text. A meteor is what we see in the sky, a fireball. The matter which enters our athmosphere and hits the ground is called meteorite.

Please check the link quoted below. It's in German.

If this is fiction you could use 'ausserirdisch' for alien.
