The quote was as intriguing as the subject... first thought it was
Latin, then Italian, but it is Portuguese.=20
Thanks for that bit of immortal history, it goes in my permanent
archives as "very interesting meteorite lore" -CharlyV IMCA 4351

Thus:
-Translated:

"It is interesting that, so much in the legend of Sencinaro I eat in the
vision of Constantino, the event apparently have occurred in the period
from the afternoon, when the Sun began decline it. An ep=EDgrafe found
nearby the localities of the impact can cause to Constantino. But today
it is impossible himself say the flaming cross that the imperador saw
beats with the event of Sirente, although the geographical proximity and
storm do of that an interesting possibility", affirmed the Italian. =20

Second Santilli, there is less than environment century the scientists
began understand it happens what when a celestial object reaches the
Land. The social and environmental consequences of those impacts would
depend whose observes them, and when. The discovery from the crater of
Sirente, affirms the archeologist, offers a rare possibility of straight
connection between observations of field and a legend preserved during
more of 15 centuries. =20

"To tangle about the choice from the religion in that period may have
been affected by a spectacular natural phenomenon", affirms Santilli. =20

A meteorite impact of the IV century AD might have converted Constantine
and spread the expansion of Cristianity.=20

The impact site is located in the Abruzzo (Italy)inside the Sirente
Velino
Regional Park, near Rome.

Research has been carried out by the italian archaeologist Roberto
Santilli
with the support of a group of geologists.
