Here's a link to the Comet 209P/LINEAR - Sky Map and Tracker.
Take a look at this site titled "The Carolina Bays" and the links it provides.
Also read The Algonquin Indians tell a story they say is the oldest of their people. It/s slightly over halfway down from the top of that link.

Is it possible that Comet 209P/LINEAR is a remnant from that event, told by the Algonquin Indians ?

And IF it IS possible, is it possible it could happen again?

Also read A RE-EVALUATION OF THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL ORIGIN OF THE CAROLINA BAYS* from April 1975, by J. Ronald Eyton & Judith I. Parkhurst.

I’m now 99.9% certain it was a cometary impact about 11.900 years ago.

People say they cant find any meteoric residue - until recently, that was a problem for me too.

BUT!!!!

We were in the middle of an ice age!
The ejecta that was flung out, some of it almost into orbit, was.... ICE! Cubic miles of ice!

Then it melted.

COMET LINEAR UPDATE! ARE YOU PREPARED?

(about 0.0002 Earth-Sun distances, or within spitting distance of our planet’s outermost atmosphere). These thousands of particles could burn up in Earth’s atmosphere as meteors when our planet plows through the debris field.

A statement like this is puzzling. The radius of the earth is ( very nearly ) 4000 miles, and the Earth-Sun distance is fondly remembered by many as 93 million miles, and 0.00002 * 93000000 = 18600. Now to me, "spitting distance of the outer atmosphere" would imply an approach on a scale less than the thickness of the atmosphere. As it is, the earth along with its very very thin atmosphere is going to "plow through the debris field" as is stated in the same breath, as it were.

Do you see what I mean? The "spitting distance" remark is very misleading and unhelpful to the understanding of what's supposed to be happening.
