Inredible,
In this week alone there have been announcements for newly discovered gigantic impact craters in Canada and Antarctica.

We have also seen a meteor streaking across Norway with Atomic bomb range energy which struck the ground.

Now we have video of an impact on the moon only a month ago.

This week should be designated "The Week of The Impacts"!

P.S. We might be under attack !
