Williams, Arizona is the "Gateway to the Grand Canyon" and the last town that was bypassed by I-40. We start our road trip this week in Williams, AZ, a town 60 miles away from the Grand Canyon. Driving two hours east, we explore petrified wooden logs scattered around the Petrified Forest National Park and an art piece dedicated to Route 66 history. In Winslow, we investigate a meteor crater that could fit 20 football fields on its floor.

We kicked off our adventure at Meteor Crater RV Parrk! Then, made our way to Winslow, AZ (yep, the “Take It Easy” corner from the Eagles!). Got our Route 66 fix and a tasty lunch at The Relic. Next stop: Santa Fe, where we woke up to snow—twice! Drove through snow-covered landscapes to Taos Ski Valley and soaked in the views. Santa Fe's charming adobe architecture was stunning, but dinner? Not so much. Now, it's onward to Texas for some sunshine and good times with friends! Let the next adventure begin!

Who were the mysterious “seed beings” who appeared after cataclysms in the ancient past? Support Our Work — https://themetaphysical.tv Metaphysical shared remote viewing data and investigative research that had never been shared before. Where did human civilization come from? Could the answer be more than one place? There are theories about beings and deities known as “seed races,” but what if there's proof in our history and artwork that could prove it? In this episode, Rob and John talked about comparative mythology and ancient civilizations. From Sumerian reliefs of deities carrying “seed bags” to creation stories around the world, from Christian and Hindu history to aliens and galactic space travelers, the conversation got deep. At the end of the episode, hear never before uncovered, corroborated information about what really created Meteor Crater in Arizona from a lead that Rob gave John, which turned up shocking remote viewing data about human history.

Meet Jonathan - I was Born and raised and live in Flagstaff AZ. Growing up, my dad would always say that our family motto was “Work hard and play harder.” I've tried my best to do that. Me and my wife have six kids (all boys), and a garage full of toys that reflect my long history of playing with things that have a throttle or that float or that fly. I took an into paragliding flight in 1996 off of Haleakala in Maui and still remember that sense of wonder as the ground dropped away. I learned to windsurf when I was a teenager, and then learned to kiteboard in my 20's then started playing with hydrofoils in my 30's. As a kid I was constantly “designing” sail boats and catamarans and hydrofoil catamarans and wanted to be an airline pilot or an aeronautical engineer when I grew up. I didn't become either of those things, but the curiosity remained. In 2020, a friend of mine sent me a video of Tucker Gott flying around Sedona & Meteor Crater, which are near Flagstaff, and it was like a switch flipped in my head. I knew I had to learn to fly Paramotors. I signed up for training with Epic Paramotor and trained in Eagle Mountain Ut with Noah Rasheta in May of 2021. I have around 170 hours of PPG flight time in. As a result of how much I love flying PPG, I decided I wanted to learn how to fly airplanes & bush planes, so I began training for my Private Pilot Certificate in September of 2023. I have 8 General Aviation training flights and 15 landings under my belt so far. My favorite things about flying PPG are the ability to explore new, often shockingly beautiful areas, the sense of freedom combined with the requirement for self-sufficiency, and the many incredible people I've met thru this sport.

Discovering asteroids in space used to be a privilege reserved for astronomers - until now, thanks to a project led by the University of Arizona Catalina Sky Survey, which made it possible for several members of the public to spot a previously unknown near-Earth asteroid on its orbit around the sun. 2023 TW closest found by citizen science Named 2023 TW, the newly discovered asteroid is the closest to ever be discovered by a citizen science initiative, according to Catalina Sky Survey researchers. Initial calculations indicate it ventures into Earth's vicinity at a "mean orbital intercept distance" of 375,000 miles, about 35,000 miles past the average distance between the Earth and the moon. "The mean orbital intercept distance describes how close an object approaches Earth's orbit," said Carson Fuls, director of the Catalina Sky Survey, which is based in the UArizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. "Earth might not be anywhere near the asteroid when it approaches a spot in its orbit." Despite its close proximity to Earth, 2023 TW does not pose a threat. There is no chance of 2023 TW impacting Earth, and even if this asteroid did enter our atmosphere, severe consequences would be unlikely, Fuls said. Spanning 164 feet, 2023 TW's diameter is similar in size to the meteor that created the 0.8-mile-wide Barringer Crater, also known as Meteor Crater, a popular sightseeing stop along Interstate 40 east of Flagstaff, Arizona. This is well below the threshold of 459 feet for potentially hazardous asteroids, according to Fuls. "For an object to be considered a potentially hazardous asteroid, both the distance and size need to be taken into account," Fuls says. "This asteroid meets the distance requirement, but not the size requirement." The project's public-facing portal, dubbed the Daily Minor Planet, began operating in June and allows volunteers to pore over images collected with a telescope on Mount Lemmon. Each night, the telescope surveys about 200 patches of the sky. A software algorithm flags anything that appears like it might be an object that is moving relative to the fixed stars in the background. A typical night of observing yields hundreds of such candidate detections. This is where the volunteer observers come in. Their task: decide which detections are actual asteroids and which ones are artifacts or other phenomena unrelated to asteroids. Aside from discovering 2023 TW, the project has reached the milestone of reporting 1,200 newly discovered, individual objects to the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union - the clearinghouse that decides whether objects detected anywhere in the solar system are real. Most of the objects reported through the project have been asteroids, but it also picked up the occasional comet. Comets are different from asteroids in that they contain water and other ices and typically reside in the outer reaches of the solar system. Before 2023 TW was found, the project's volunteers detected many other candidates for near-Earth asteroids. However, the timing is tricky: Many asteroids, particularly those close to Earth, whip around our planet quickly before heading out into space for another trip around the sun. To establish and publish an asteroid as a new discovery, asteroid trackers need to understand the object's orbit, which requires repeated observations over several days. "Close approaching asteroids appear so briefly in our sky and are moving so quickly that any delay in processing or reviewing the data increases the chance that they cannot be re-observed and confirmed," Fuls said. "Very close approaching asteroids may zip right past the Earth and quickly become too faint due to distance or go into the daytime sky where we can no longer see them." In other words: Time is of the essence. The recent asteroid discovery was made only two days after the initial observation. Beyond the time pressure, knowing how to tell real objects and false detections apart is a central co...

In this episode, we read from the five papers recently published by the Comet Research Group in their new journal, about evidence for an airburst that destroyed Abu Hureyra ~12,800 years ago, and comparisons of impact proxies at Meteor Crater to materials found at known nuclear test sites. There is also a paper about a possible impact or airburst much more recently, around 700BC, over Kansas, that was witnessed by the native american Pawnee.We also discuss the new paper about Gunung Padang, a megalithic mound in Indonesia that has evidence it's earliest building phase may be as much as 24,000 years old.The Cosmic Tusk post on the new CRG Journal:https://cosmictusk.com/airbursts-and-cratering-impacts/"Airbursts and Cratering Impacts" Journalhttps://www.scienceopen.comGunung Padang paperhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/arp.1912This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4656375/advertisement

Harvey Nininger was on his way home 100 years ago tonight when he saw something that changed his life: a “fireball” — a brilliant space rock burning up in the atmosphere. Nininger taught biology at McPherson College, a small liberal-arts school in Kansas. On his walk home from work, he'd stopped to visit with a colleague when the fireball flashed overhead. It created a lot of questions for Nininger. But he found few answers — no one was studying meteors or meteorites — space rocks that fell to the ground. So Nininger started studying them on his own. That led to a career as a meteor hunter — and the birth of a new field of study: meteoritics. Nininger calculated — wrongly, it turns out — that the meteor of November 9th, 1923, had landed in Colorado. So he set off to find it. He found two meteorites. But both had arrived on Earth much earlier. In 1930, Nininger devoted full time to hunting and studying meteorites. He visited farms, asking people if they had any odd rocks. He paid a dollar a pound for the ones that were meteorites. He sold some of his finds to pay for his work. Later, Nininger opened a museum near Meteor Crater in Arizona. And he got other people involved in the field. Meteoritics became a full academic subject. His work led to a fuller understanding of meteorites, and the larger rocks from which they come. So a chance view of a brilliant meteor led to a new field of study — which continues today.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Most of the debris burns up when it enters our atmosphere, and all we get is the bright blaze in the clear night sky because, from time to time, we see it as fleeting meteor showers. But sometimes a meteorite is tough enough to survive the atmosphere and large enough to leave a remarkable spot on our planet. Nestled in the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Barringer Crater is a rimmed pit in the shape of a bowl we also call Meteor Crater. South Africa has its own gem, too - Vredefort Crater, the largest and the oldest one in the world. Let's take a look at some impressive craters around the world. Learn more about your ad choices.

50,000 years ago a meteor crashed into the earth in what is now Northern Arizona, with the force of 150 atomic bombs. Today, scientists from all over the world visit the site to study the impact of meteors on earth. The site has also become one of Arizona's most popular tourist attractions, with an impact site a mile wide and 550 deep.

48.5 tons of meteoric material falls onto our planet every day, which has made for some stellar history. Today we explore history that has fallen from the sky. We begin in Egypt by examining the meteorite dagger of Tutankhamun, then we travel to Sylacauga, Alabama in the year 1954 when Ann Elizabeth Fowler Hodges became the first documented person in history to be struck by a meteorite. After that we travel 50,000 years back in time to hear the story of the basket meteorite, a special piece of space rock that made its way to Northern Arizona's Meteor Crater twice thanks to a yard sale and a retired Wisconsin man. Grab your space suit and tune in for an episode that's truly out of this world.

RADIO SAFE! And it's a rerun, a real oldie. Hour of Slack #535, 1996. It's WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON X-DAY, in excruciating detail. It features what may well be the most forceful (and informative!) rants ever delivered by both Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. K'taden Legume, sermons recorded in moments when those worthies were totally caught up in the thrall of "Bob" -- divine messengers, as it were, helpless to do anything but preach the hardest truths of SubGenius Orthodox Dobbsian doctrine. Punctuating these heart-staking sermons are some of the most intensive so-called "Media Barrage tapes" from the 1980s, especially segments from St. Byron Werner's historic cassette collage masterpieces "Space Age Bachelor Pad" (the actual origin of that hipster genre catch-phrase) and "Dougs, Drugs and Doctors." Voices heard from the old SubGenius Media Barrage tapes include Dr. Philo Drummond, Hellswami Satellite Weavers (the great SubGenius "ur-illustrator" narrating into a tape deck on a drive through Meteor Crater, Arizona), Former Pastor Buck Naked, Dobbs' bodyguard Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Pope Michael Flores and even Janor, back in the olden days. We should have been running this episode annually, and would do so henceforth, were not X-Day imminently nigh. http://subgenius.com

We head back to Meteor Crater and dig into the definitive 1997 paper by David Kring on the effects of the blast wave from the central Arizona impact 50,000 years ago. Much was learned from the detonations of nuclear weapons during the 1950’s, with numerous craters blasted out in the Yucca Flats of Nevada. The estimates for a similar event every 1600 years are pondered, and we figure that those periods are considered to be even shorter now. Then we revisit a few other spots from our “Southwest Experience” in October, including a stop to see the distinct Black Mat at Murray Springs, petroglyphs at Chevelon Canyon, and Monument Valley – where the “Great Denudation” begs for questions about the erosional processes that shaped those landscapes, and the history of seismicity that should’ve toppled the fragile sandstone spires long ago. Unless of course, that those erosional processed occurred much more recently than previously imagined…   CBD RECOMMENDED - Listen to Randall’s experience with “CBD from the gods” after the mid-break at 48:43.

Combining history, pop science, and in-depth reporting, a fascinating account of asteroids that hit Earth long ago, and those streaming toward us now, as well as how we are preparing against asteroid-caused catastrophe. One of these days, warns Gordon Dillow, the Earth will be hit by a comet or asteroid of potentially catastrophic size. The only question is when. In the meantime, we need to get much better at finding objects hurtling our way, and if they're large enough to penetrate the atmosphere without burning up, figure out what to do about them. We owe many of science's most important discoveries to the famed Meteor Crater, a mile-wide dimple on the Colorado Plateau created by an asteroid hit 50,000 years ago. In his masterfully researched Fire in the Sky, Dillow unpacks what the Crater has to tell us. Prior to the early 1900s, the world believed that all craters-on the Earth and Moon-were formed by volcanic activity. Not so. The revelation that Meteor Crater and others like it were formed by impacts with space objects has led to a now accepted theory about what killed off the dinosaurs, and it has opened up a new field of asteroid observation, which has recently brimmed with urgency. Dillow looks at great asteroid hits of the past and spends time with modern-day asteroid hunters and defense planning experts, including America's first Planetary Defense Officer. Satellite sensors confirm that a Hiroshima-scale blast occurs in the atmosphere every year, and a smaller, one-kiloton blast every month. While Dillow makes clear that the objects above can be deadly, he consistently inspires awe with his descriptions of their size, makeup, and origins. At once a riveting work of popular science and a warning to not take for granted the space objects hurtling overhead, Fire in the Sky is, above all, a testament to our universe's celestial wonders.

Dillow looks at great asteroid hits of the past and spends time with modern-day asteroid hunters and defense planning experts, including America's first Planetary Defense Officer. Satellite sensors confirm that a Hiroshima-scale blast occurs in the atmosphere every year, and a smaller, one-kiloton blast every month. While Dillow makes clear that the objects above can be deadly, he consistently inspires awe with his descriptions of their size, makeup, and origins. At once a riveting work of popular science and a warning to not take for granted the space objects hurtling overhead, Fire in the Sky is, above all, a testament to our universe's celestial wonders.

An alien race intercepts Voyager II, a space probe describing Earth, effectively inviting aliens to visit. These aliens take Earth up on the offer, sending a scout pod to see what we're up to. American fighter jets greet it and the alien scout crashlands up in the American backwoods in Wisconsin. Using DNA found in the hair in recent widow Jenny Hayden's photo album, he transforms himself into the likeness of Jenny's dead husband, a house painter named Scott (Jeff Bridges). Now, not-Scott must get to a rendezvous point at Meteor Crater, Arizona to get back to the mothership before he dies, but SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and the FBI want him to experiment on.  The alien has no choice but to kidnap Jenny (Karen Allen) to assist him.  John Carpenter directs.

In this episode, Noah travels to Arizona to explore two very odd geologic sites, petrified forests laid down beneath thin rock layers on the desert floor, and a large gouge on the sedimentary layers near the Grand Canyon. The first site reflects the catastrophic events during the Flood and its aftermath. The second site, under a hundred miles away, has helped scientists discover catastrophic processes around the world by bombardment of meteors (which are NOT responsible for the extension of the dinosaurs).

In questa puntata facciamo i turisti: andiamo in Australia a visitare un cratere da impatto, lo stesso che è diventato il titolo del film horror-thriller "Wolf Creek" (e speriamo di non fare brutti incontri!).

Fire in the Sky: Cosmic Collisions, Killer Asteroids, and the Race to Defend Earth with Gordon L. Dillow We owe many of science's most important discoveries to the famed Meteor Crater, a mile-wide dimple on the Colorado Plateau created by an asteroid hit 50,000 years ago. In his masterfully researched Fire in the Sky, Gordon Dillow unpacks what the Crater has to tell us. Prior to the early 1900s, the world believed that all craters on the Earth and Moon were formed by volcanic activity. Not so. The revelation that Meteor Crater and others like it were formed by impacts with space objects has led to a now accepted theory about what killed off the dinosaurs, and it has opened up a new field of asteroid observation, which has recently brimmed with urgency. Dillow looks at great asteroid hits of the past and spends time with modern-day asteroid hunters and defense planning experts, including America's first Planetary Defense Officer. Gordon is a veteran journalist with more than four decades of experience as a reporter, war correspondent and columnist.  He has written for the Los Angeles Times, the old Los Angeles Herald Examiner, the Orange County Register and other newspapers, and has also contributed articles to a number of magazines.  For more info visit https://gordondillow.com/ ************************************************** For more information about BITEradio products and services visit: http://www.biteradio.me/index.html  

Alan Fitsimmons is an astronomer working on the Hera project with the European Space Agency, a mission to learn how to deflect an asteroid that's on a collision course with the Earth. “I'm standing on the lip of this huge hole [Meteor Crater], over a kilometer across, several hundred meters deep, formed when, 49,000 years ago, a small asteroid, only 50 meters across, entered our atmosphere, reached the ground, exploded with the force of many, many nuclear weapons and made this crater. And I thought, wow, this is incredible. I knew asteroids were important, and they are important scientifically. I thought, this is also important. How often does this happen? How many of these things are there out there?” To learn more about this episode: https://thecamp.fr/news/ian-carnelli-alan-fitsimmons-could-humans-prevent-asteroid-hitting-earth To learn more about thecamp: https://thecamp.fr

A tour along Northern Arizona's Route 66 and Interstate 40 which traces the original path of Route 66 is a nostalgic adventure as well as a geography and history lesson for the whole family. The tour passes through picture-perfect scenery including the cool pine country of Northern Arizona. Experience a plethora of scenic and historic attractions as you venture through small town America. Imagine walking back through time in a place where dinosaurs once roamed over 225 million years ago. A time when lush green forests ruled the landscape with 200 foot tall conifers. Volcanic mountains erupted toppling the trees. Swept away by waterways and covered with volcanic ash and sediment, these trees became entombed and over millions of years became petrified. Through gradual erosion, gigantic logs and remnant pieces became exposed for the world to experience.Arizona, arguably, boasts the most interesting geology in the country. Along with the Grand Canyon and red rocks of Sedona, Meteor Crater, known by scientists as Barringer Crater, is a testament to this statement. Located under forty miles east of Flagstaff, the location is a 50,000 year old crash site formed when a meteorite hit the earth. Travelers visiting this region of the state will want to plan a special trip to view this bit of cosmic history.Stand at the Walnut Canyon observation point and gaze across these canyon walls and imagine what life was like for the ancient Sinagua Indians that that once lived in the cliff dwellings at Walnut Canyon. For reasons that are a mystery, they left Walnut Canyon about 800 years ago. Take a hike along Rim or Island Trails and enter some of cliff dwellings and see many others nestled into the alcoves of the canyon walls.Mention Arizona and people conjure-up images of cactus and hot desert. Not in Flagstaff. This is cool high mountain country. At an elevation of about 7,000 feet, Flagstaff features thick forests, bounding wildlife and sky blue mountain lakes all back-dropped by the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in Arizona at 12,633 feet. Combined with its high elevation and low humidity, Flagstaff, Arizona is definitely a four-season, all year vacation paradise with all the outdoor adventure you can handle.Laid-back, rustic and still very much “western”, Williams Arizona still sustains the character of its rough and rowdy days. Although the saloons are still the gathering place, the brothels and gambling halls are a thing of its frontier past. Williams AZ is also located on the Historic Route 66. Named after William “Old Bill” Williams, an early day trapper, William's history is best known as the center of the Sante Fe Rail Line, ranching and old lumber mills. Just 58 miles from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, tourism began with buckboard and stagecoach tours of the canyon.Kingman is located in northwest Arizona just off Interstate 40 about 95 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada and about 150 miles west of Flagstaff, Arizona. Hoover Dam is about 67 miles northwest of Kingman via US 93. Kingman sits at an elevation of 3,336 feet east of the rugged Black Mountains. The population of Kingman and its surrounding area is about 40,000. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-schreckler/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jeffrey-schreckler/support

Listener Josh Knight asked West Texas Wonders whether the meteor crater in Odessa was actually produced by a crash, and, if so, what ecological impact that collision might have had.

Listener Josh Knight asked West Texas Wonders whether the meteor crater in Odessa was actually produced by a crash, and, if so, what ecological impact that collision might have had. Marfa Public Radio looked to Nature Notes for the answer. The reporting led to unexpected places – and as far as the asteroid belt. Thanks to Knight for submitting this question. Five miles west of Odessa, a 600-foot-wide circular hole marks the West Texas landscape. It's shallow  – just 15 feet deep. The Odessa Meteor Crater is a subtle feature, but it tells an explosive story – with truly cosmic implications. “Trying not to appear in the least excited before these cow-men is a job, to say ...

In the northern Arizona desert, an imposing-looking crater shows the impact of an ancient meteor crash. Until the 1960s, it was mistakenly believed to be a volcanic crater.

Today we talk about a few impacts: The one made when the SpaceX Falcon9 tipped over on the landing barge... The other one made thousands of years ago at Meteor Crater, Arizona... and finally, the continuing impact Google+ "integration" has on YouTube that doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Also, there is a font called Impact, but we don't talk about that today.This is an audio version of Far Lands or Bust #553: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whYPxfOolj8Donate to the FLoB Child's Play Charity fundraiser at http://farlandsorbust.com!This series is presented commercial-free thanks to support from fans at Patreon: http://patreon.com/kurtjmacIntroduction provided by Phedran: http://phedran.comMusic: "Go Cart" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

And it's a rerun, a real oldie. Hour of Slack #535. It's WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON X-DAY, in excruciating detail. It features what may well be the most forceful (and informative!) rants ever delivered by both Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. K'taden Legume, sermons recorded in moments when those worthies were totally caught up in the thrall of "Bob" -- divine messengers, as it were, helpless to do anything but preach the hardest truths of SubGenius Orthodox Dobbsian doctrine. Punctuating these heart-staking sermons are some of the most intensive so-called "Media Barrage tapes" from the 1980s, especially segments from St. Byron Werner's historic cassette collage masterpieces "Space Age Bachelor Pad" (the actual origin of that hipster genre catch-phrase) and "Dougs, Drugs and Doctors." Voices heard from the old SubGenius Media Barrage tapes include Dr. Philo Drummond, Hellswami Satellite Weavers (the great SubGenius "ur-illustrator" narrating into a tape deck on a drive through Meteor Crater, Arizona), Former Pastor Buck Naked, Dobbs' bodyguard Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Pope Michael Flores and even Janor, back in the olden days. We should have been running this episode annually, and would do so henceforth, were not X-Day imminently nigh.

On this episode, we start by discussing the new launch date and time for Discovery. As well, we predict whether or not the shuttle will launch in December or during its next launch attempt, in February. We then move on to discussing the Expedition 25 mission aboard the International Space Station after landing in the high deserts of Kazakhstan. We then move on to talk about NASA's new position as first in social media. We then discuss astronaut Leland Melvin who has a new position at NASA in the education department. Gene and Sawyer had a chance to interview him, and you'll hear clips from the interview. Lastly, we discuss Sawyer's trip to Meteor Crater as well as a tribute to Leslie Nielsen.
