AI Thread Summary
A user reported discovering evidence of a massive object impact in the U.S. while browsing Google Earth, suggesting it scraped the surface before exploding in Alabama and scattering debris across the Midwest, resulting in numerous craters, primarily in Texas and Arkansas. The impact site is located southeast of Huntsville, Alabama, and is described as a significant crater that influenced the formation of the Appalachian Mountains. The user claims to have documented these findings with images on their website and has shared a Google Earth file for further examination. However, other participants in the discussion express skepticism, questioning the validity of the evidence presented, noting that the features may be naturally occurring escarpments or man-made structures rather than conclusive signs of a meteorite impact. They request more definitive evidence, such as shatter cones or shocked mineral grains, to support the claims.

I have sent this information to the USGS and they forwarded it to their
Astrogeology dept.

I was browsing google Earth and found that a very large object hit the US and scraped along the surface before
Exploding in alabama and showering the midwest with huge rocks that left craters all over texas and arkansas.
Most of these craters have taken the form of small ponds.

The impact point is a hundred miles or so south east of huntsville Al.
And there is a huge impact crater that goes through 3 states.
The thing was so huge that it carved out the Appalachian mountains.
You can zoom in on them and see the serated edges of the object
Where it rolled and scraped the land.
Here are some images I put on my site

Thanks
Ronnie Smith

I am sure it exists

I am certain that if scientists looked at my findings they would agree with me.
here is the google Earth places file where I saved the small craters for people to examine.

Certain on what grounds? Something kinda curvy-shaped things and some holes isn't exactly conclusive.

I don't have google Earth installed so I can't view those.
 
It appear to be man made, part of an oild field??
 

Thread 'Could an external cosmic body have influenced Earth’s geology?'

Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'

(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam. What changed this...
