Asteroid Tour: Northern Arizona Private Aviation – Fly Over –
Collisions in the Asteroid Belt? Whoa. Fragments In Arizona!
This is the Flight avionics and path breadcrumbs documentation over the Superstition Mountains (Weavers Needle) and heading North to the Meteorite Impact Crater near Flagstaff Arizona.
Meteor Crater is about a mile wide and more than 500 feet deep; created in an instant when an asteroid slammed into the earth.
The Earth took a big hit !
It’s been called “the world’s best preserved meteorite impact site on Earth.” It took until 1961 to figure it out. https://www.azcentral.com/story/travel/arizona/road-trips/2017/10/17/meteor-crater-arizona/541387001/
Remnants from mining operations can still be seen at the bottom of Meteor Crater. It was once believed a fortune in iron lay beneath the surface.
How would you know if this was an Asteroid created crater ?
Check out the Holsinger Meteorite at the Crater (On Display). The largest fragment ever found on Earth. Private entrepreneurs have tried to locate more Space Blast material hurled from the outer space down in the bottom. Hiking to the bottom of Meteor Crater is prohibited.
