Incoherent reporting. Firestone comes off as a crank but I think I'll wait for a better-written article before forming an opinion.

Scientist: Comets Blasted Early Americans

You'd think this would have been mentioned in Poor Richard's Almanac.

Isn't "1,000 KPH" (625 MPH or ~0.25 KPS) pretty slow for a cometary inpact? Did he mean KPS?

Also, wouldn't there be obvious traces outside N.A.?

And what connection is implied by "a supernova" and "lunar meteorites" and a comet hitting the earth? Maybe he should restrict his language to math, instead of trying to speak English.

Or, was this a Babelfish translation from English to Manglish?

WE'RE DOOMED!

Or, maybe WE'RE SAVED!

Last time I saw that critter, rocket flames were coming out of the leg holes of his shell, and he was leaving Earth for Mars. Took him long enough to get there.

"Comets Blasted Early Americans"

I thought they were finally going to tell us what happened to Virginia Dare and the lost colony.

You DID check with the "Carl Sagan Cosmic Thought Police" before posting this didn't you?

GGG Ping.

I was gonna post this: Comets Hit Early Americans, Scientists Say, but, a search revealed that you already had.

Now, you should have pinged me. No-one enjoys a good catastrophe as good as me.

Professor Stephen Oppenheimer, in one of his books, suggests that it may have been comet impacts that began the end of the last Ice Age.

Here's a thread I posted that came out of the same conference.

Clovis Speakers Discuss Man's Origins In The United States

"In recent years, many experts have begun to consider other explanations, such as migration from Europe, and not Asia."
