Observer
Name Joseph B
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks this took place about 16+ years ago. I was laying in bed looking up out the window, with in a second a ball of light grew to cover the sky with a hallow around it. It was like small Tunguska type bolide. the shock wave hit the house like shaking a matchbox. This is the southern rim of the large comet impactthat caused the Younger Dryas Period. the center rebound is just w sw of Washington, NJ. the very large crater runs oblong west to east. for 20 years I collected materials in my spring fed creek running down my hillside. everything that a comet would pick up on its travels. it blew away enough earth that I found fossils dating back to the Permian period. I have everything in my Ohio house now. a mile down the road is Hampton, NJ there is a small park, walk across the field to a dry creek bed, it has more Stramotolite then you can truck out dating back two hundred plus million years ago. There is much more to that story. one last thing that you won't believe, but I could care less, I know it's true. when I was a young paperboy in Warren, Ohio, I made matter pass through matter intact. It was only a theory, but I proved it. I've been a hunter of lost history since I was 20. I'll be 59 this year. I love research and field work.
