That's gotta be something to do with @Clint's spuds

Where did the meteor that hit it go?

Where did the meteor that hit it go?

That is a good question, I assumed the crater would have been a lot deeper and it's still there but has been covered by sand over the years

 

[Clint]

Vaporised probably.

Well, at least it's no Carling.....

It wouldn't take a very big meteor to make a crater that size as it would be travelling very fast.
Maybe as small as a few 10s of metres. So could have fragmented on impact.
If it was a metallic meteor it would probably have been scavanged by early humans.

But that crater shape shows it must have struck from directly overhead (as opposed to a teardrop or long scar that you would get if it came in at an angle)

This year's tomato crop, just so the (usually) quite successful gardener in me doesn't go completely insane, let's just call it...underwhelming.

It may have been a UFO

Impactors tend to make a fairly circular impact crater even when coming in from quite an oblique angle, there are exceptions on bodies with low/atmosphere but if you have a look at the moon more than 95% of craters are circular, even though they come in from many different angles.

What, it's not made of cheese

I hate to tell you this....there's no Clangers there.

What you gonna make with that?

 

[PerthRod]

It may have been a UFO

If it was identified.........would it become an FO ?

If it then landed.............would it just be an O ?
