One of the hottest google searches today is What Happened In Piedmont. There are a series of commercials on A&E purporting to be about this fictional town - no one answers the phone, the military is blocking the roads, etc. There is a website - a fake blog.
I am going to to use my SUPER POWERS OF DEDUCTION and put together a theory for you.
1. The commercials are running on A&E channel.
2. The fake blog is registered to A&E.
3. A&E has an uncoming Science Fiction show of the Andromeda Strain coming out May 26.
4. Piedmont, NM was the town used in the book Andromeda Strain (need to verify this)
Therefore I agree with those who have Digged this story and decided that that this is a publicity stunt for The Andromeda Strain remake coming to A&E.
A quick search of the WHOIS database (stores info on domain names) for 'whathappenedinpiedmont.com' shows the following:
