That, being a direct, and uncalled for, attack on my integrity so early on, tells me you haven't got the sand, or intelligence to comprehend, or discuss, the data I've presented. So you personally attack the source. This will be my last post.

C'mon folks, if all I am going to get are week, intelligence insulting, assumptions I'm wasting my time. I've provided references to good, peer reviewed research that you casually dismiss without a glance. If you want to disprove, or debate it, first you need to read it. Show me the data. Show me a link to a peer reviewed paper that mentions even one of those locations. I spent enough time in the military (8 yrs) to qualify as an expert witness on what the ground looks like after something exploded. Battle damage assessment is something I learned the hard way. Those are all the blast burns of powerful, geologically recent, explosions. And I have a growing database of nearly 600 of them. I want to discuss the physics of the square detonation shock effects clearly visible in those images. The pertinent question is, what kind of things went boom?

Nice guess. But try again. I can provide a much better image of that location if you like. no quarry. Look closely at all 50 of those images. Look for the common features that run through them all. One who is experienced in recognizing the ground effects of explosive events will tell you those are the burn scars of very hot, and powerful detonations. And that they are all consistent with explosions of huge, shaped, explosive charges. There is no known natural object, or material, that can detonate in such a way. Or is there? It's been more than a hundred years since the Tunguska phenomenon. And there is no end to the crack-pot theories; everything from exploding UFOs to time warps. But the Russian scientists haven't been sitting on their hands all this time. There are also literally hundreds of excelent peer reviewed papers on the subject. There are a couple of links in the PDF that provide clues. Tunguska-1908, and similar events, in light of the New Explosive Cosmogony of Minor Bodies http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2268163/Explosive%20Cosmogony.pdf and Deep Impact Mission to Tempel 1 Favors New Explosive Cosmogony of Comets http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2268163/DeepImpact.pdf

I fixed the link. Take a closer look. Keep in mind they are dispersed over most of southwest New Mexico, and west Texas in a wide variety of surfaces.

I thought folks might be interested in the square craters in New Mexico and Texas. I can't find any reference to them. But, depending on the strength of the surface, sometimes all that happens is a squarish, thermal, blast burn; others, a full fledged square crater. And squarish multi-lobed craters are common. They are very easy to spot. No two are exactly alike. They are all in the same recent condition. And I've cataloged over 500 of them. This 8.5 meg PDF has a sampling of 50 of them: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2268163/SquareCraters.pdf So far no one wants to talk about them. Is this a case of science in denial?
