(823 posts)...only one reference to the meteor blast (the original above). More study is needed.

(6,045 posts)That YouTube channel is known for pushing BS!
...Plus, and I cant understate this, an impact that large would overtake Coronavirus News for at least a day or 3!!!! Then, scientists from around the world would most certainly risk their lives descending on that location to study it for months!!
Just saying.

Skywatch media's YouTube page:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3rKLIfo9C0k98E5kiVqc8Bm6MZ7odIGr
They have videos about
- An asteroid could be The End Of Days on Oct 12, 2017.
- A couple videos about a mysterious "Planet X" that is destroying life on Earth, making the skies over Europe red, and causing wildfires.
- and assorted other stories about chemtrails, earthquakes, volcanoes, UFOs, weird weather of all kinds, and on and on.
This is a cockamamie conspiracy theory spreader with little factual reporting behind it.

But the video explanation is much more interesting .

(408 posts)That's not a "giant" crater. The one down in Arizona? Now THAT'S a giant crater. I've been there and stood on the rim. IT'S HUUUUUGE! this one is a pock mark by comparison. Glad it didn't land on anyone though.
