Peter Schultz, professor of geological sciences at Brown University and an expert in extraterrestrial impacts, went to Peru to learn more.
Yup, it’s a hole all right! Let’s go home.
Sorry, Brown geologists. In the new era of politicized science (think GW), conventional wisdom can't be changed, at least without approval from the United Nations. Evidence doesn't count.
While science is afflicted with fakes, a lot of neat and puzzling artifacts are automatically discounted because they are "inconsistent with our understanding".
Reminds me of the authorities when they find a perp that didn't fit their thinking. "He didn't fit the profile." No, the profile didn't fit him.
Mapquest?
Interesting. A self-forming projectile.
Thank goodness we've just recently discovered those craters on Mars.
Schultz's theory could upend the conventional wisdom that all small, stony meteorites disintegrate before striking Earth.Heh... thanks blam.

I remember a few months ago when this story was first posted, a lot of commenters said the hole was only 6 feet in diameter and they were lying about it being 30 or 40 feet wide.
I wonder of the scientists have tested for fullerines, shocked quartz, and rare earth radioactive elements?
