Sonny Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hi All, I recently had a chance to check out a possible meteorite impact crater North of Alamo, Nevada. In the 1940's a large fireball was witnessed by residents of the area. The crater was found the following day on a mountainside. Anyone knowing my interest in meteorites understands I will take off on a moments notice to spend the day in the field hunting for meteorites. I would say 98 percent of the time alI come home with is a sunburn and an empty lunch bag. I decided to check the crater out and spend a day looking for meteorites.

Kaimi Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Aloha, If I am not mistaken I was told that there are a couple of these "crater like" features in this area. I also took my jeep out there and tried to detect an area close to this one but a little south. No results, just a couple of tacks and one old bottle cap. Beautiful country tho! Thanks for this video as it sure brought back a couple of nice memories. Aloha, Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfinger Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Near Area 51? You should have been looking for some exotic alloy from an alien spaceship instead. Interesting video though. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basaltgooroo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 only if you tag on the footage of John B. in Oman..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleface Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Sonny, Interesting crater and worth checking out. I too would have been up for a swim after climbing that mountain, clothes and all. Erik, About the fruit of the loom commercial on John B., I have been trying to locate it without success, could be that the Oman government confiscated it for evidence.......
