Strange features extend across parts of central Alabama near Wetumpka, where an impact crater remains visible today. Rocks show signs of extreme force consistent with a massive impact. Researchers confirm these features resulted from a catastrophic meteorite strike approximately 83-85 million years ago, when an asteroid about 1,000 feet wide struck the shallow ocean covering the region. The Wetumpka impact crater, approximately 4-5 miles (6.5-7.6 km) wide, provides evidence of this ancient catastrophic event. 🌋⚡
