Hello Alex, All,

Well, first-off, the power needed to make a 35m crater...I don't think
conventional weapons would do it.

Secondly, I did some sleuthing and managed to find this:

Third, when I plug in the coordinates available on Dirk's site, I get
an island just south of Japan....I couldn't find the crater by trying
to read the coordinates in the screenshot - too difficult.
Anyone know where it really is? Dirk?

Regards,
Jason

The territory of Western Sahara is contested between Morocco and Polisario Front, and long before any convincing proof that this is a crater of meteoritic origin, some manmade origin of military character might and should be taken into closer consideration first.
