EVIDENCE OF PATAGONIAN IMPACT CRATER?INEXPLICATA
Source: Fundacion Delphos (Argentina) Date: April 27, 2004 An Asteroid Fell In Patagonia An important but sadly underutilized Argentinean researcher, Maximiliano Rocca, inferred through satellite imagery that the center of Patagonia was the site of a giant meteorite impact - in other words, an asteroid collision - which created the largest meteor impact crater on Earth. The studies which led him to reach these conclusions have been published on the Internet and in English, since as usual, his discovery was only well-received abroad. During our expedition last month to the site of our usual archaeological and historical research, we were able to reach the impact site thanks to the information provided by M. Rocca. The exact site shall only be made known with the authorization of Maximiliano Rocca. On March 25, 2004, two units of Fundacion Delphos were able to reach the crater and survey its full extent. The efforts of Christian Morelli with GPS, satellite maps and his improvised scale meters must be acknowledged (since the expedition would have otherwise become lost in this tremendous and marvelous landscape). It was with barely concealed excitement that we descended the slopes of the gigantic crater. To say that the site is impressive is to sell it short. The surrounding edge is approximately 100 meters high, perfectly circular, and it surrounded us as we progressed across the 4800 meter diameter of the crater. We were able to take video, photos and samples. Still to be analyzed is the meaning of certain dark, circular spots, lacking vegetation and apparently burned, having a diameter of approximately 40 meters, which were found outside the crater. These circles are filled with some flat, black and glassy stones. Every so often we can find smaller circles measuring 1.20 meters in diameter which are perfectly flat and clean. The first photo shows the two Delphos units progressing within the crater, near its western edge. The second photo shows one of the flat, black and molten stones within one of the strange circular spots. ========== Translation (c) 2004.
