I first saw it from the back seat of an F-4 in the fall of 1970. It was a ten-hour flight from Hawaii to Florida, and over Arizona I looked over the side of the airplane and there it was: very impressive even at 35,000 feet. I became fascinated with it and later in 1972 stopped by on the way to Las Vegas and saw it up close. In those days they would still let individuals hike down into it, so I did. Somewhere I still have pictures of myself standing next to Barringer's boiler, and a little "Bottom of the Hole Award" commemorative patch they gave me. Shortly after that it was closed to the general public; so I was one of the last ordinary tourists to go to the bottom. I stopped by several times since then, but haven't been back in several years. Also there's a smaller crater or group of craters near Odessa, Texas, not as well preserved but thought to be caused by fragments broken off from the same meteorite. I was going to make the joke about how lucky it was that it didn't hit the visitor center, but I see below that someone already did.

Amazing! I know of three similar craters in Saudi Arabia. When I first saw them about 20 years ago I thought they were the result of meteorites’ impact. Later on I thought they were volcanic craters even though there weren’t any traces of lava flow coming out from them. Now, after watching this clip I am certain they are the result of of meteorites’ impact, since they are in areas that don’t seem to have had any volcanic activities and they look very much like this crater in Arizona.

1961, my parents took us there. I went out the west end of the visitors center on a path about 1-2 hundred yards. Thought, I will probably get in trouble and will never come here again. So, off I went, jumping rocks, climbing down boulders the size of cars and trucks until I got to flatter ground and ran to the center to see what the white stuff was. People in the center started talking about there was someone down there thru those large 25 cent binoculars. My father dropped in a quarter and recognized me. I made it back up and my family and the people from the center was waiting on me. I had a bucket list when I was very young & still pursue what life has to offer.

It was suspected to be a meteor crater long ago. Our understanding of the geology wasn't as well defined so it wasn't widely excepted. A mining venture was begun to extract the iron from the meteor. They didn't understand the physics of an extremely fast moving object vaporizing itself. All the every found was a layer of iron dust spread over a large area. They never imagined how small the meteor was. Needless to say the venture went broke.
@freemind..2 жыл бұрын
Daniel Sprouls - It was initially understood to be what it actually is - a hydro-volcanic eruption crater. The physics of hyper-velocity impacts prove this beyond doubt. Consider what would be left behind by heat that could vaporize 99% of a 300k tonne iron meteorite. Some of the sediments and rock from inside the crater would be vaporized along with some of the meteorite, but the walls and floor of that crater would be lined with melted sediments, rock and meteorite; aka - IMPACT GLASS. *How much glass was found at Meteor Crater? NONE.*

Wouldn’t it have visible side ejecta if it was in fact an angled impact? I know nothing of geology I’m just asking.
@justthereed5593 Жыл бұрын
no because it wouldn’t have slid to cause the crater. It struck, and created the impact wound. A side éjecta would only show up if it somehow dragged horizontally, which is impossible.

@@ForkLift_Certified424 Yes, modern museum's "steal" things. They visited the place and where like "yep. That's mine now* and went back into the plane, instead of being like "Hey, could you guys give us a little piece of the meteor?" Or someone there going "Hey, we still have some small pieces of the meteorite. Which museum wants one around the world, so everyone interested can see it?"

Recent findings in a cave have shown that humans may have been in the Americas as far back as 130k years ago. That would mean that humans would have experienced this cataclysm directly. Which is wild to think about.

@@StarboiFloyd go to nature magazine, the most prestigious scientific journal out, you will find what this person is referring to about the 130k year old mastodon bones discovered in south California during highway construction, the bones appeared to be placed in a specific position only humans could do and there also appeared to be an anvil next to the bones. It’a obviously very debated about whether or not humans had anything to do with it but still, it seems very plausible and likely that humans were involved given the detail of the findings and even scientists who worked on the site agree humans were involved.
