If he is in the Ozarks, he could talking about
the Weaubleau structure as discussed below.

If a person would read the abstract about the
suspected California crater, a person will find
that they readily admit that it being an impact
crater is just one of several possible hypotheses
for its origin. they readily admit that the
origin of the California feature is uncertain.
they are arguing that this feature is worthy of
further study. The URL for the possible California
crater abstract is:

There is a large geologic structure in the Ozarks,
which is hypothesized to be an impact structure.
It could be what the gentleman is talking about
as it has been published locally in the papers.
