A team of scientists claims to have found the first-ever definitive evidence of a comet striking Earth.

After conducting a series of analyses, the researchers determined that a mysterious black pebble discovered years ago in the Egyptian desert is a piece of a comet nucleus — the first ever discovered.

"It’s a typical scientific euphoria when you eliminate all other options and come to the realization of what it must be," study lead author Jan Kramers, of the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, said in a statement.

I am not sure if it was one of your videos Skywizard , but I remember green glass found in Egypt in the desert.
The glass had been formed during an impact don't know if it was the same one though.

Glass can be made by lightning striking sand too.

I've heard of that too but it wasn't me that posted. Would be a good thread though... skywizard

It never ceases to astonish me how so called experts declare they have the oldest this or that. The earth is older than even they know, so all claims to having the oldest of something is the usual cabal crap.
