Thanks Steve, Not to be a critic of the critics...but the reasons were "it was too neat", and "rocks that big usually don't hit earth" Maybe they should test the material before jumping to conclusions. The "Hoaxers" did a great job on the crater in my opinion. Looks very plausible. It may be rare for rocks that big to hit...doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Be interesting to see if they later determine it was not a hoax lol. David Steve FISHER wrote:

Steve, I think we were all excited to hear the news. For me, if it did turn out the be an actual impact, it would mean people might actually start to consider the very real possibility of a cataclysmic impact and, of course, get them to consider their place in the universe and the possibilities for the future. However, when I saw the photo and the perfect crater, I immediately had doubts. Ballistic objects (Like bullets, mortars, etc) rarely leave anything so perfectly circular. -Rich On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 2:07 PM, David Rankin <David@rankinstudio.com>wrote:

I read that the Air Force recently declassified data they have gathered from satellites and they reported a meteor explodes in the atmosphere at least once a year with a yield of several kilo tons. When they first noticed them some suspected illegal nuclear testing.

There's a post on the Minor Planet Mailing List indicating it was a publicity stunt. pw :) On 26 Oct 2009, at 12:07, David Rankin wrote:

I saw HD video of impact site. The 1st was the hole with the "meteor" producing 4-5 ft flames.
Then the aftermath a big hole (investigators say dug with shovels) and smaller hole with charred remains from whatever they used to make the fire. Pretty clearly a hoax. There's a post on the Minor Planet Mailing List indicating it was a
publicity stunt.

I guess it was Patrick dropping a bowling ball or perhaps a fuel tank, not hard to believe MSNBC and Fox have different "takes".
