Comments on: It Were Aliens! I Seen ‘em! http://www.damninteresting.com/it-were-aliens-i-seen-em/ A collection of legitimately fascinating information culled from the past, present, and anticipated future.

It was discovered back during above-ground nuclear testing that the velocity of a warhead is added to the velocity of its explosion. This was the suprising result of the only live-fire test of a nuclear artillery shell when the 15kt shell did far more damage than a 25kt warhead that was test-fired on a stand. So the links here showing a much lower yield are probably correct. It would seem the 10-15 megaton estimate is comparing to a stationary nuclear detonation.

Usually out at sea, then in rural does-it-make-a-sound, then hey-look-what-I-found, then areas where we occasionally go, then some farm, then Podunk, then Everycity, and FINALLY it hits NY/LA/DC like in the movies. Statistically, I guess we've had plenty. DI though.</p> It’s probably happened before, a few times in fact.

That is amazing for one thing and highly dangerous for another. A comet (a comet!!) entered our atmosphere and instead of being over Moscow, New Delhi or Washington, D.C. happened to be over a section of forest. What if it hadn't been a loose bunch of gas and ice bits? Not only is this article damn interesting, but we were damn lucky on this one. </p> What do you mean “It was simply a big dirt clod that exploded and flattened a forest.” ?
