AdmSmith: Bureya River: a landslide but not a meteorite impact in Russia.
Posted on 01/14/2019 4:13:58 PM PST by Roman_War_Criminal
VLADIMIR Putin has drafted in soldiers to investigate a “collapsed mountain” in a remote region of Siberia amid suggestions it may have been caused by a UFO crash-landing.
Whatever the cause, the event resulted in a massive rockfall which has blocked the nearby Bureya river, and left several villages at risk of flooding. So much rock was shifted it would fill 13,600 Olympic-sized swimming pools, say experts. Meanwhile, the falling 34 million cubic metres of debris left a gash in a mountain which could swallow up all the water used if every American showered at the same time.
A defence ministry source said a group of specialists is en route “to conduct reconnaissance work” at the site, where the rocks fell some 1,280 ft on to the valley floor.
The source added: “Given the significant size of the landslide, units of engineers and railway forces with special equipment, as well as army and transport aviation, will be involved in clearing the rock.”

I upgraded from a Commodore 16 to a Commodore 64.
I think I still have it. I’ll have to look.
At one time they were fetching $250-$500 on eBay.
I was thinking I still have it. In the original box. Now I gotta go look. I’m gonna be disappointed if it’s not out there.
Bureya River: a landslide but not a meteorite impact in Russia.
From this imagery we can say that this is certainly a rockslope failure, and that it is highly unlikely to be associated with a meteor impact event. The slope appears to show a pre-existing tension crack or depression that aligns with the rear of the failed mass. This is at an elevation of about 580 m, the valley floor is at about 190 m.

LMAO!
I’m of the opinion that the UFO landing at Socorro was merely a bathroom pit stop for the alien’s kids which was interrupted by Lonnie Zamora when he crested that slight hill to look down that wash.
It was definitely a fun movie.
That was a few years after I met Bob Hope. That was an interesting night, in more ways than one.
