Massive Meteorite Found Near Stockton, CA: Asteroid Threat
cbs13.com - Scientists: Massive Meteorite Found Near Stockton
Yet another meteor impact crater discovered. Excerpt from the article follows:
“Scientist believe the meteorite is buried nearly a mile beneath farmland. Three dimensional images show the circular crater created by the rock are estimated to be three miles wide. They say that this event occurred over 50 million years ago. “
Also, they state:
“The impact would have been as powerful as 100,000 atomic bomb blasts and would have been seen and heard for hundreds of miles.”
Essentially, they are talking about 100,000 Hiroshima sized bombs, added together. I say this because most such impacts and statements are measured against the Hiroshima bomb, which was roughly 10 kilotons in size.
The world has been struck many, many times before and we’re just really starting to dig deep enough to discover these sites. Check one of my articles, called Circumstances Beyond Our Control for some information on this.
It is scary to know that our own backyard is place of asteroid impact. These asteroids might have impacted the planet number of times. There has been steady news coming out from the entire planet about the blazing balls of fires in the sky , not high lighted every where. We may be have to keep watch on them. Recently I read a article, which compiles these news and they have a hypothesis about the possible cause . you may find it interesting.
