More proof of massive explosion 12,900 yrs ago over Canada
2008-07-08
Geological evidence found in Ohio and Indiana in recent weeks is strengthening the case to attribute what happened 12,900 years ago in North America - when the end of the last Ice Age unexpectedly turned into a phase of extinction for animals and humans - to a cataclysmic comet or asteroid explosion over top of Canada.

#13  Who has the computational power and means to 'nudge' a large meteoroid or small asteroid on a trajectory that ends up someplace like Tehran? Plausible deniability, it is the will of Allen.

#11  Obviously an early experiment of the TESLA/ZIONIST PERFECTED DEATH RAY. Mossad time travels to the distant past to safely conduct such experiments. See also Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Ever wonder why there were no Jews in those cities when they were rayed/bombed?

#6  I haven't clicked through to the article... but I could swear I saw something on the discover channel about this in the last two months.

#5  The gem:

Climate change is a favorite topic for Tankersley. "The ultimate importance of this kind of work is showing that we can't control everything," he says. "Our planet has been hit by asteroids many times throughout its history, and when that happens, it does produce climate change."

Also interesting that two TV shows will be done for this, one on PBS, one on Discovery. I wonder how the approach will vary.

#4  Spot - It explains what happened to humans and animals in North America. Including issues like Clovis Points and the regression from them.

#3  Somewhat unrelated, but Brown County Indiana is one of the most scenic places in the country.
