The patomskiy crater is in Siberia. There have been many theories about how it formed. They are all wrong. None of the theories presented fit the crater enough to be definitive. They say meteors or volcano. Neither will cause a crater like that. And the rock is limestone, not an igneous rock. There is evidence that something radioactive was there also.

I have a theory. One which is falsifiable. Something, and I do not know what is was came to that spot and buried itself. It is still there. The magnetic surveys have established that a large piece of magnetic material is below the crater. It would not  be too difficult to go there and drill down the 200 feet to whatever metal thing that's down there. Logically any large metal device capable of flight was impossible 400 years ago when this crater is thought to have formed. That would lead to an extraterrestrial origin.

Sonar and radio surveys to establish the depth and size of the object would have to be done before any digging. I think this may be the most historic find in the history of history.  It would be absolute proof that Earth is not alone.

Do yall reckon the lack of interest in this crater is suspicious? If I figured it out it couldn't be too hard to figure yet no one is doing the work that would be required to solve this.

None of us is stopping you.
Let us know what you find.

I'm poor. Can't afford to travel down the block, much less go to Siberia.
