It just jumps out at you as soon as you turn on Google Earth. The semi circles and splash features look like a target area after a bombing raid. But those shock ring are 250 miles wide! These strikes were so powerful that they broke the very bedrock and left a giant compression wave frozen in the earths crust like a ripple in a pond. Just like the 17 mile example in Mexico And at the center you’ll find a fracture star like a stone fracture in a windshield. But this one is 12 miles long and 6 miles wide. With Lake guntersville and the town of Marshal Alabama at the center of it. There were other strikes too, and if you look closely you can see their footprints in the perfect circular depressions 30 or 40 miles wide around and near Marshal. The other major strike left a circular depression 65 miles wide, with another set of compression waves centered on eastern Tennessee and with a splash curtain extending over 400 miles to the northeast. I spotted this thing the very first time I turned on Google Earth. There had been a lot in the science news about evidence that a big comet had exploded over North America only about 12,900 years ago. It was a story I had been following for nearly 10 years. I would read every news clip or article. And every research paper I could lay my hands on. The mystery just kept getting deeper; a mass extinction explosion that produced enough energy to melt part of the Laurentide ice sheet and trigger a return to ice age conditions. And to reduce much of the combined biomass of half the continent to ashes, but didn't leave any visible trace...NAH!! It began to be a kind of mental treasure hunt. Each new discovery /(they ran the gamut of all the sciences, archeology, climatology, paleontology, etc.)/ that was announced that pointed to an extra terrestrial impact event added another piece of the puzzle until I began to get a pretty good mental image of the explosion, and where it may have happened. And if, no crater, then what ground effects should they be looking for? The research all pointed to an object that was different from any of the impactors that had been studied, or predicted so far. And to an above ground explosion with an immense fireball probably higher than the atmosphere that was equally unparalleled and unprecedented. It wasn’t too much of a stretch to think it may have caused a different kind of astrobleme. And no one, not even the world’s top scientists were really sure what kind of effects they should be looking for. At the time I thought the answer was in the effects of a massive surface compression shock wave; if you go to an outdoor firing range you'll notice the circular shock rings that kick up in the dust at the feet of the people shooting. R.B.Firestone et al. describes an explosion with effects of as much as1 billion megatons of TNT with a fireball that may have reached 10 million degrees C. That didn’t create a crater due to a possible above ground blast. But they could only guess as to its location/. I figured they should be looking for signs of surface compression shock waves but hundreds of miles in diameter. / The whole idea had been more or less a mental hobby that I would mull over whenever I had time to relax and do a little reading and day dreaming. A kind of working mans Zen if you will. I was dying to hear the last chapter in the story. Any day now I expected to read a press release that the researchers had finally discovered where the thing had exploded. And I never in a million years thought I should be writing this stuff down. I had some basics that began to form the beginning of a hypothesis. The first part was a realization that came to me reading the news about a glitchy Soyuz space capsule that came in too steep and hard and gave the astronauts a really bone jarring ride home. It was about entry angle: Get it right and you can slip right on through with just a little ablation and some burned paint. Get it wrong and the re entry shock will kick your butt. My best guess was that about thirty degrees approach would bring allot of stuff right on thru to the ground. If they came in steeper, they might tend to break up or explode high in the atmosphere. Shallower, and they would just skip off the atmosphere and keep on going. /Never mind perfect circle craters. Look for evidence of oblique low angle strikes./ // / /But I needed to get a better mental picture of what the impact or blast zone might look like/./ To do that I needed to at least get a guess as to the true nature of the explosion. So I started reading about the chemistry of most comets. Most of the research I could find was aimed at getting some idea of the chemistry of the early solar system without any consideration of what the comet being studied might do if it were vaporized in our atmosphere. What I learned was scary as hell. Forget your fairy tale stories of snowballs flying through the heavens. They are all nasty, vile, toxic, things, with a spectrum that wouldn’t be out of place in the worst superfund cleanup site on earth. Even the most benign of them, brought to earth gently, and allowed to melt and evaporate would be an environmental nightmare. And a cubic mile of methane ice, acetylene ice, and water ice laced with stuff like formaldehyde, and nitrogen sulfide vaporized in an oxygen rich environment might make for the mother of all fuel-air bombs. The scars left by a billion megaton, 10 million degree, explosion that devastated an entire continent shouldn’t be that hard to spot, should they? Not after only a few thousand years anyway. And in fact they’re not. One day I read about a fellow down under. Who had found a crater in Australia using Google Earth. I figured, if an Aussie can do it so can a Yank. I'd never used the program before. But, what the heck, I downloaded and installed it, turned it on, and got that shock of a life time. At first I thought it was a practical joke played by the software designers. Or maybe it was just an artifact of the software. But right there, clear as can be, looking for all the world like a target area after a bombing run was a giant blast zone covering almost a third of the eastern USA with Lake Guntersville Alabama at the epicenter of the main blast And looking like a giant plasma burn. All in a tightly grouped pattern. And not a one of them ever hit the ground with anything but the shock of a tremendous explosion. So, as predicted, there’s no crater. You can count five or six right away in an overlapping sequence. But since the two biggest objects look to have exploded last it’s hard to get a better count than that. But the semi circular surface compression shock rings are more than two hundred and fifty miles in diameter! I still thought the thing must be photo shopped because the scale of it just defied comprehension. I spent weeks studying the Google earth images trying to debunk what I was looking at. If it was a hoax, and the images were photo shopped whoever did it was really, really, good! If you zoom in closer you see that the lighter areas in the picture are arable farmland. Not ancient rock formations. The darker green has less human habitation and is more forested. In the old days, when the first settlers arrived land that was broken up enough that it could be worked with a mule, and a plow, and a pick. And had good drainage was as good as it gets. Therefore the lighter areas map out the most pulverized material and thus, are a good proxy for mapping out the areas of maximum overpressure from the surface compression shock waves. I was just guessing but the angle of approach seemed to be about thirty degrees to the ground. And it looked to have come in from the southwest at a point about 45 degrees below the plane of the ecliptic. In a relentless succession of thunderous explosions, each strike would have added more energy to the firestorm. This is where everything you can find about explosions and firestorms begins to break down. This was a monster that breaks all of the rules. Even in the largest nuclear explosion ever detonated there was room for convection to lift the fireball from the surface. But this thing was so big that the fireball would have been higher than the atmosphere. The heat must have stayed at ground level and spread out incinerating everything for hundreds of miles in every direction. The combined energy of all of the explosions would have produced a firestorm higher than the atmosphere that, as it spread out, would have incinerated almost all life east of the Rockies. Note the direction the heat would have taken downrange. Like a giant blowtorch, It would have melted thousands of square miles of the Laurentide Ice sheet in seconds. The sudden inflow of fresh water into the North Atlantic would have shut down the Thermal Haline cycle like turning a switch. And may have been the trigger for the Younger Dryas cooling event. The simplest explanation was that was the location of the so called Younger Dryas impact event, and that all of the researchers who had described it were absolutely correct. Butt when I asked a few scientists what their take on it was. They'd look at it. And, almost without exception, I would get the same negative canned answer: "Most geologists agree that those rings were caused by an ancient continental collision millions of years ago along with the Appalachians."..... "Most geologists agree.....?" My balderdash alarms started going off. Any ark shaped landform on Earth that is the product of such a collision /(The //Himalayas//, //Aleutian Islands//, any island ark)/ has roots that go all the way down through the basement structure of the continent. But on a map available from the USGS, and Titled *Preliminary Precambrian Basement Structure Map of Continental **United States** *http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1029/downloads/plate1.pdf The Appalachians are there. But the rings aren't. There is no hint of them in the aeromagnetic data. _They only exist in the surface material_. In fact, there is no evidence at all of any circular uplifting in the basement structure beneath. Nearly everyone is familiar with the first three states of matter; solid-ice, liquid-water, vapor-steam. But there is a fourth state of matter called plasma that breaks all the rules. And that doesn't get anywhere near the amount of attention it deserves. There aren't many professions in this world that give one direct, practical experience with high energy plasma. Mine, for the last 25 years at least, has been one of them. I am an Ironworker. More specifically a welding inspecter. We use high energy plasma cutting machines as a matter of course on a daily basis. A plasma arc leaves very distinctive burn mark like nothing else. I've seen them countless time in my carreer. It's a pinch effect. And the largest I've ever seen was about two inches wide. This feature in northern Alabama looks just like one of those plasma burns. But it's 25 miles wide! Some of the blast effects in the west don't make any sense at all if you are thinking in terms of simple fuel burning, oxygen breathing fire. And the normal thermo dynamics that go along with it. Because the ground shouldn't be such a good conductor of heat as it seems to be at some of the blast points. But as a plasma the energy is free to follow the path of least electrical resistance and the heat can go into the ground instantly. *_displayNameOrEmail_* - _time_ - Remove _text_ Sign in Recent Site Activity Terms Report Abuse Print page | *Powered by Google Sites *
