Arizona Meteor Theories Fail to Solve Mystery

     Scientists have advanced two additional theories regarding the meteor
which is believed to have struck the earth causing the great meteor crater
in Arizona. One of the theories advanced is that the so-called Arizona
meteor was actually a real comet which collided with the earth.
     The other theory is that this comet struck the earth at an estimated
speed of 40 miles a second during the Thirteenth century and annihilated all
the aboriginal cliff dwellers when it hit.
     Science generally recognized Meteor Crater as one of the three known
places in the world where a great meteor struck the ground. But so far no
scientist or scientific group has been able to locate the meteor in the
ground. Of the other two known meteors, one is in Siberia and the other in
the Sahara in North Africa. The one that fell in Siberia is known to have
knocked down by the force of its wind, all the trees in forests for many
miles around.
     Scientists believe meteors to be fragments of suns or others worlds. -

PDF copy of this article, and most I post (and about 1/2 of those on my
website), is available upon e-mail request.

The NPA in the subject line, stands for Newspaper Article. The old list
server allowed us a search feature the current does not, so I guess this is
more for quick reference and shortening the subject line now.
