Chinese scientists have found evidence that Baijifeng Mountain was hit by an object from space, resulting in its twin peaks and unique impact structure.

A two-peaked mountain in northeastern China is the site of the world's first confirmed mountaintop crater.A nearly mile-wide (1.6 kilometer) divot in a Chinese mountaintop is actually an impact crater from a long-ago meteorite landing.

News to me that meteorites 'land'. /s

There’s lots of meteor craters on tops of mountains. You can’t see them because of the trees. You have to go into the mountains and ask the hunters or the Indians. They won’t show up on a satellite or aerial photo. These people have very little common sense. They must be city slickers...never set foot in the mountains.

So...the twin peaks were actually a single peak at one time until the meteorite hit? I bet that kicked up some debris.

A ‘confirmed mountaintop crater’, eh? I dunno if I should trust these “experts”…..
