Elton and list,

there was NO meteorite impact in the Chiemgau in Southern Germany! This whole
story about a comet impact and a huge strenfield of impact craters is nonsense.

> These appears to be a perfect marriage of amateur and academic cooperation.
This is a good example of VOODOO SCIENCE!!
There is NO hard evidence of impact features. The whole impact scenario, as de-
scribed by this amateur group, is theoretically and pratically IMPOSSIBLE.

There are many, many good reasons why the socalled "Chiemgau impact" is NOT
accepted in the scientific community.
