Tennessee Crater Inches Toward Recognition

tetrahedrassface writes "Slashdot carried the story of an-as-yet unverified impact crater in Tennessee a couple of years ago. After a few weeks of fairly hardcore sample taking, digging, obtaining some good images and manipulating them, I'm proud to report the first batch of evidence in favor of it being an impact site. The primary smoking gun is the presentation of an astrobleme, obtained from High Resolution Ornithographic Images taken in 2008. Also of note are the melted/deformed rocks, magnetic crater dust, and the fitment of the crater rim to a circle. A rented plane and a bunch of photographs today and it's pretty obvious that it's a crater, folks. Cheers!"

Congratulations

you and Slashdot made a scientific discovery. Here's your prize!

Pride??

Why in the world would one be "proud" of a crater? It is a fact (maybe). It happened a long time ago. No one had anything to do with it. What is there to be "proud" of??

Gee, amateur science

So, if young Calvin digs in the back yard and finds a discarded coke bottle and calls it a dinosaur skull we think it's cute because he's just a kid.

When a grownup nerd without any apparent field experience or scientific training gets into pretend-science and goes out in the woods collecting "evidence" to support a fanciful idea about a particular sink hole being a SPACE CRATER - then it goes on slashdot because it's content.

I agree.

I live in TN; retard capital of the world.

If a meteor took out Nashville, the IQ of the state would double.

If it took out Memphis, the same thing could happen.

All the smart people are in enclaves, close to universities; most are from elsewhere, often overseas.

It's a sad world we live in...
