Meteorite impact 29M years ago responsible for desert glass, geologists say

January 12, 2023 - airbursts, which happen when asteroids called near-Earth objects explode and deposit energy in the Earth's atmosphere. (Related: Ancient "desert glass" turns out to be from a 29-million-year-old meteorite.)

"It has been a topic of ongoing debate as to whether the glass formed during a meteorite impact or during an airburst," geologist Aaron Cavosie of Curtin University in Australia said in a statement. "Both meteorite impacts and airbursts can cause melting....

Ancient “desert glass” turns out to be from a 29-million-year-old meteorite

December 13, 2019 - airbursts can cause melting, however, only meteorite impacts create shock waves that form high-pressure minerals, so finding evidence of former reidite confirms it was created as the result of a meteorite impact,” added Cavosie.

Researchers also warned that people should be careful of using LDG and other glasses that come from high-pressure rock deformation as evidence of airbursts. (Related: NASA updates its plan to deflect potentially hazardous Earth-bound ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS emits mysterious sunward jet, confounding scientists about its origins

October 30, 2025 - airbursts could explain global flood legends and mass extinctions," Carlson stated in previous interviews. "If 3I/ATLAS behaves anomalously, we must consider whether history is repeating itself."

3I/ATLAS reached perihelion on Oct. 29, its closest approach to the sun. Scientists expect heightened activity as solar radiation intensifies. By early December, it will re-emerge from behind the sun, offering astronomers another chance to study its altered state.

Harvard scientists believe debris of unidentified object found near Papua New Guinea could be remains of INTERSTELLAR SPACECRAFT

July 12, 2023 - airbursts with Department of Defense satellite data and local seismometers established to monitor earthquakes and volcanic activity.

With confidence that the eventual path for IM1 covered 6.2 square miles of the ocean near Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, the team was then able to scratch the deep ocean floor with a huge magnetic "sled" both along IM1's path and some control regions, which served as a control to make sure more iron spheres or spherules did not find ...

“Invisible” asteroids could hit Earth at any time, researchers warn

March 07, 2023 - airbursts or similar events could be prevented if people are informed of an oncoming impact and its predicted effects," said Richard Moissl, head of planetary defense for the European Space Agency (ESA). "With advance warning, local authorities would be able to advise the public to keep well away from windows and glass."

To accomplish this goal, the ESA is slated to launch its NEOMIR (Near Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red) orbiting observatory later this decade....

Study: Fiery “airburst” of superhot gas crashed into Antarctica millions of years ago

April 03, 2021 -

Van Ginneken and his colleagues launched an expedition to Walnumfjellet in Sor Rondane Mountains of Queen Maud Land, which is located south of Africa on the eastern side of Antarctica. The researchers found strange-looking mineral particles that turned out to be micrometeorites – extremely tiny meteorites that are the size of dust particles – from the airburst.

"To my great surprise, I found these very weird looking particles that did not look like terrestrial particles ...

New evidence suggests a DOOMSDAY COMET wiped out ancient civilization 12,800 years ago

September 19, 2025 - airbursts are more frequent than most people realize.

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis presents a significant challenge to traditional archaeology and geology. Critics argue that the evidence is circumstantial and that the theory relies on selective data interpretation. Hancock, however, remains undeterred.

Hancock stated that they are not expecting immediate acceptance but with enough supporting evidence, they believe their version of ancient history ...

CWC Labs and Mike Adams will help analyze comet impact evidence tied to the fall of civilization 12,800 years ago – an interview with Dr. Malcolm LeCompte from Comet Research Group

January 05, 2023 - airbursts can cause melting," lead author Aaron Cavosie, a geologist at Curtin University in Australia, said in a statement. "However, only meteorite impacts create shock waves that form high-pressure minerals, so finding evidence of former reidite confirms it was created as the result of a meteorite impact."How we are donating instrument time from our mass spec lab to help solve history's mysteries
