LOL that's what I was thinking it could be miles away. I know I can use a Number 5 Green bag charge behind a 212 lb 8 inch projectile and land it about 22 miles away.

And that's at 1850 fps, nowhere near the velocities they're claiming would be behind the plate. Considering the aerodynamics’s of a flat steel plate weighing 3000 pounds going at unimaginable velocity's I suspect it immediately crumpled into a rather taco type shape and landed somewhere within 50 to 100 miles of the initial site. Somewhere out in the Nevada Desert is a 3000 lb taco shell. That's if it wasn't completely destroyed by the intense caused by the velocity vrs resistance and the intense heat of the blast itself.
