Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the discovery of a purportedly large impact crater in the United States, with claims of its effects on the landscape, including the formation of small ponds and the carving of the Appalachian mountains. Participants explore the implications of these findings and the geological features observed in the area.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant claims to have discovered a large impact crater that extends through three states and has significantly altered the landscape, including the Appalachian mountains.
  • Another participant suggests that the curved feature observed may correspond to Mesozoic rock layers and proposes it could be an escarpment rather than an impact site.
  • A participant expresses certainty that scientists would validate the findings if they were examined, providing a Google Earth file for others to review.
  • Another participant questions the validity of the claims, arguing that the evidence presented (curvy shapes and holes) is not conclusive.
  • One participant proposes that the features might be man-made, possibly related to an oil field.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the nature of the geological features discussed, with some supporting the idea of an impact crater and others challenging its validity or suggesting alternative explanations. No consensus is reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants reference geological features and evidence for meteorite impacts, but there is a lack of concrete evidence presented to support the claims of an impact crater, and assumptions about the nature of the features remain unresolved.

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??
