Evidence of high-energy catastrophe across Alabama landscape. Metal splattered features found for miles across Alabama From Birmingham to Minton, similar landscape features exist Signs of great force and high heat throughout
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. 🌋⚡
