Scientists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL) found these mega-ripples by means of seismic imaging carried out by a petroleum firm. They looked at soil 5,000 feet below the surface of central Louisiana and found the 50-feet-high ripples spaced half a mile apart. According to the scientists, these ripples were the imprint of the tidal waves that spread out from the asteroid's impact crater.

Furthermore, the UL scientists said the orientation of the ...

‘Oumuamua asteroid may be alien technology, hints study

https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-21-oumuamua-possibly-alien-technology.html

August 21, 2020 - asteroid until it accelerated and assumed the behavior of a comet; ‘Oumuamua flew past the sun with an estimated speed of 196,000 miles per hour. They noted, however, that its aspect ratio and elongated form are unlike any space object in the solar system.

Furthermore, its acceleration is not caused by gravitational influence -- the only explanation for it is that ‘Oumuamua is propelled by outgassing. In this case, the interstellar object should have a comet’s ...

https://www.naturalnews.com/2025-10-02-our-solar-systems-asteroid-belt-is-slowly-fading-away.html

October 02, 2025 -

Key points:

The ghost of a planet that never was

The story of the asteroid belt’s existence is inextricably linked to its eventual demise. When the solar system was a swirling disk of gas and dust 4.6 billion years ago, the region between Mars and Jupiter was poised to become the home of another planet. The raw materials were there, but a celestial giant had other plans. Jupiter, the solar system's behemoth, exerted a gravitational ...

Asteroid nearly collides with Earth in close call fly-by

https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-24-asteroid-nearly-collides-earth-fly-by.html

August 24, 2020 -

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that the path of 2020 QG was forever changed by the gravitational force of Earth. The asteroid is now traveling in space in a new trajectory since its close run-in.

"It's really cool to see a small asteroid come by this close because we can see the Earth's gravity dramatically bend its trajectory," said Paul Chodas, director of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) at NASA's Jet ...

Humanity is one asteroid impact away from being wiped out

https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-07-29-humanity-is-one-asteroid-impact-away-from-being-wiped-out.html

July 29, 2017 - asteroids were to enter Earth’s atmosphere again, there’s really nothing we would be able to do to stop it.

“We are not ready to defend ourselves” in the event that an asteroid begins falling towards our planet, said Densing. “We have no active planetary defense measures.”

We know that the largest types of asteroids – the kind that are capable of wiping out all life on our planet – strike Earth about once every 100 million years. But even though ...
