Right - take a look at the ejecta blanket. With Carancas, large dirt
clods were sent flying hundreds of feet from what I'd heard. This

It looks fake to me too. The sides are too shallow to be created by an
impact. It looks more like something created by a blast in soft clay
than a shock wave from an impact. If you compare it to other similar
craters it doesn't look right (Sikhote-Aline, Carancas).

This crater shows every sign of being caused
by the collapse of soil into an underground void
of some kind, natural or artificial. The slope of the

I agree that is is probably a hoax.
The video is almost creepy like from a sci-fi or horror film.

Only two meteorites are ever known to have created real craters upon

but I don't know if we even

About a month ago, I started uploading a few new photos on Flickr -

If the criteria includes probably witnessed falls... then wouldn't the winner

that either fall may have occured as recently as 25,000 years
