Dennis Cox ....stuff jun 30 2010 last file date Amazing! It reads like de Grazia's description of the destruction of Pylos in the Peloponneses. Or Schaeffer's archaeological sites in the middle east. I looked at your attached images. You are to be congratulated on (1) your 'reading' of the land forms, and (2) your verbal descriptions. I figured you had a background either in ceramics or metalurgy. "Welding inspector" must have brought you close to an understanding of the pyrotechnics. Sorry about the delay, I had to decipher your email (since I use a text email program, and none of your formatting made it through, it is just a single long paragraph). Then I traced to your site by guessing that the rhymed lines were probably quoted. That caused more problems, since my browsers did not show any images (and the site insists in dropping cookies, and then slowing to a crawl) (as I later found out, it was uploading 400 images!). Finally I used someone else's more modern laptop, and a DSL line. The views of Alabama are totally convincing, maybe because I know the geography. The view of Mexico is less so. It might be if oceans were included. These particular circular patterns are fully predicted if you consider the dynamic forces involved in the close encounter with another planet, that is, where the isolating plasmaspheres of two planets contacted, and the double layers merged, allowing instantaneous sensing of the electric field potential between them. I explain that somewhere on my website. All with a semicircle of shoved-away mountains toward the west or southwest, and a flat apposing semicircle in the direction that the Earth rotates, or the direction of the axial tilt on impact: a northly flat edge in the northern hemisphere. There should be 4 *recent* circular compressive patterns to be found (a fifth one which landed in the Mid Pacific). Recent is between 2350 BC and 686 BC. Older impact circles would be older by thousands on thousands of years, probably dating to before 10,000 or 20,000 ya. I was delighted to see the curved set of mountains in the southeastern US. Truly amazing that you have managed to identify this, and show it so graphically. There should be at least one in central Asia. (I actually notice two.) The conflagration would extend westward from the 'impact' zone, and consist of an absolutely stupendous electrical arc. It would travel upward some as the reaction torque of the Earth brought the axis back to its upright position. Yes, the temperatures would be sufficient to melt rock, and turn sand to glass. The arc would charge (electrify) everything within a hundred miles, and send it both away from the arc and traveling in a circle about the arc (which is the direction of the magnetic field surrounding the arc). I can explain the shape of the 'impact' zones, the loose dirt and aggregate, the molten mountains, the obvious winds -- without resort to meteors consisting of volatile gasses, which under no conditions would reach "millions" of degrees. "Close encounter" is in one case 10,000,000 or 20,000,000 miles. These semi-circles are also very recent, not even within the Holocene, but dating from 2350 to ca 700 BC. There should be 4 *recent* circular compressive patterns to be found (a fifth one landed in the Mid Pacific). All with a semicircle of shoved-away mountains toward the west or southwest, and a flat apposing semicircle in the direction that the Earth rotates, or the direction of the swing of the axis on impact: a northly flat edge in the northern hemisphere. The conflagration would extend westward from the 'impact' zone, and consist of an absolutely stupendous electrical arc. It would travel west and gain latitude as the reaction torque of the Earth brought the axis back to its upright position. The temperatures would be sufficient to melt rock, and turn sand to glass. The arc would charge (electrify) everything within hundreds of miles, and send it both away from the arc and traveling in a circle about the arc (which is the direction of the magnetic field surrounding the arc). The looks would be of a rotating flaming hurricane, with whole forests flashing into flames and tossed into the air.
