- (ARIZONA HIGHWAYS TV) - The meteor crater in Arizona is so large that 20 football games could be played at the same time inside this gigantic hole in the ground east of Flagstaff.
They are so lucky it didn't hit the visitor's center
Lol
Are you a Paul Horton fan too?
the visitors center wasnt there when it happened cause 50k years ago it was uninhabited which means there was nothing nearby like no streets no visitor center nor people
@@aaroncano2247 😄
LMAO!
That’s a top notch camera man. He risked his life to get us that shot of the impact. Hero.
Bruh 💀
@@nelofarazmat4829 haha
Lol there are camera men that filmed rovers on Mars, a probe touching the 🌞, sun winds and eruptions, globe, milky way, ... And a lot more.
AHHhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
@@LarnelTheThird also nothing exploded and made everything. And we are evolved monkeys. 😂🙉
Look for NASA's Parker Solar probe. It's just another hypocrisy from Naza. Same as moon landing, Mars rovers, flying water ball. Btw they consume 60mln dollars of our money every day. And feed us with cartoons and hypocrisies.
Welcome to the reality.
I first saw it from the back seat of an F-4 in the fall of 1970. It was a ten-hour flight from Hawaii to Florida, and over Arizona I looked over the side of the airplane and there it was: very impressive even at 35,000 feet. I became fascinated with it and later in 1972 stopped by on the way to Las Vegas and saw it up close. In those days they would still let individuals hike down into it, so I did. Somewhere I still have pictures of myself standing next to Barringer's boiler, and a little "Bottom of the Hole Award" commemorative patch they gave me. Shortly after that it was closed to the general public; so I was one of the last ordinary tourists to go to the bottom.
I stopped by several times since then, but haven't been back in several years. Also there's a smaller crater or group of craters near Odessa, Texas, not as well preserved but thought to be caused by fragments broken off from the same meteorite.
I was going to make the joke about how lucky it was that it didn't hit the visitor center, but I see below that someone already did.
Man what's wrong with you? Do you think that if there will be any meteorites then they will fall at 90°? Check what photo you will have if you search for geyser.
Sure Dork
This is such a nice story, thanks for sharing! Not sure what this other dude is on about.
if you could go back in time and witness one event.. this HAS to be up there in my top 5. So fascinating.
Along with Mt St Helen's and the first nuclear test in New Mexico 😀😀😀😀🍺🍺🍺🍺
Well no, both of those was in our lifetime.
You don't have to go back as we have footage of it.
@@Anyonewhos well just rain on our fuckin parade !!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Then you were sinking due to the flood. This are geysers that released the waters from the deep. Do you think that if meteorites will exist then they will fall at 90°? Check for geyser pictures.
@@Anyonewhos well !!! Mister man !!!! I would still like to see it in person !!!!😁😁
I'm a truck driver. And I visited Meteor Creator several times over the years. It's worth it to see it at least once in your life! And it really gives you an appreciation for what these space rocks can do!
Just think, it was a 150 foot rock that did that! Now fast forward to what might hit the Earth in the not too distant future. Mainly, Apophis. Which is a 1200 foot wide rock!!!!!!!!!! 😱
"space rocks"
he can call them whatever he wants man
The on that begun the tilt of Earths axis was 600kms wide and 2400kms long.. the first of 8 used to tilt the axis and begin the 6000 year cycle of Earth around Sun with its tilted axis. Seek "ET art by B Witten" on YT for the secrets of the Masons and Royals.
What a truck can do is bad enough.
Did you ever see the meteorite?
Nope!
Pieces?
Nope!
Looks like an old lake bed
1961, my parents took us there. I went out the west end of the visitors center on a path about 1-2 hundred yards. Thought, I will probably get in trouble and will never come here again. So, off I went, jumping rocks, climbing down boulders the size of cars and trucks until I got to flatter ground and ran to the center to see what the white stuff was. People in the center started talking about there was someone down there thru those large 25 cent binoculars. My father dropped in a quarter and recognized me. I made it back up and my family and the people from the center was waiting on me. I had a bucket list when I was very young & still pursue what life has to offer.
Did you get grounded?
I visited the creator in the late Spring of '69. I was driving from NY to CA. I remember seeing many road signs from Albuquerque to Flagstaff. It seemed like there was a sign every ten miles or so. After seeing all of those signs I decided to stop to take a look. When I got there the only thing there was a big trailer as the visitor's center. Just below the visitor's center there was a shack which was made out of stone where a hermit used to live. He packed in and out with a mule. The path down to the botto
Oh God, the sniper got Blaine 😭 RIP Blaine. We will never know what the path was going to the bottom of.
@@MikeHawkburns21 I wouldn’t count on him coming back, Mike. How many people actually visit the creator and come back to tell about it? He never should have tried to tell the world where the creator is hiding. He tried, but got plucked right up before he could even finish his post. We’re lucky that he was smart enough to hit the “post” arrow before the creator caught him, though. Now we have clues…
@@CrankyPantss his lifeless, bloody head probably hit the enter button to post would be my guess. Anyways, have a wonderful day!
Been there and highly recommended it. Lots to do and see nearby like the Petrified Forest, Grand Canyon and more
Yes! And the Painted Desert.
And Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff.

I've heard there's one of these on Uranus.

4. It's never good when someone pretends to be an Okie, but isn't from anywhere near Oklahoma.
Fred
I have been there twice. The first was in 1999, I was there again 2 years ago. That hole is HUGE. You need to see it to appreciate it.
Ok for everyone,that rock that hit the place obviously disintegrated in impact.
Nope. Obviously alot of it did but the Iron,Nickle core is very tough and actually survived. They spent alot of time looking for it and found several peices of it
@@masonfarnsworth6730 where did it go 🧐
@@psychicspy1234 2 big peices are at the visitor center. The main core and the "basket peice" and at other museums and research centers around the world. Some have been lost to time aswell. The basket peice was actually stolen in the 1950s and the guy tried to sell it at a scrap yard in Wisconsin and ended up using it for a counter weight to his sons basket ball hoop for many years. I visited there today on my way to Phoenix. I had heard about them trying to mine it in the early 1900s thinking it could be made of gold from Neil Degrasse Tysons talk on Joe Rogan.
@@masonfarnsworth6730 what's the big deal.. meteorite is made of metal,known to man..nothing new except the new astroid which was actually dug up in space by japanese "Hayabusa" ( Google it,totally out of context)
@@psychicspy1234 its actually very hard and expensive to dig up the remaining meteorites. The vastness of the crater itself is the attraction. Like I said the only reason they were able to get financing to dig it up and do research is because they thought it may have been made of gold or other valuables. This was the early 1900s after all.
It was suspected to be a meteor crater long ago. Our understanding of the geology wasn't as well defined so it wasn't widely excepted. A mining venture was begun to extract the iron from the meteor. They didn't understand the physics of an extremely fast moving object vaporizing itself. All the every found was a layer of iron dust spread over a large area. They never imagined how small the meteor was. Needless to say the venture went broke.
Daniel Sprouls - It was initially understood to be what it actually is - a hydro-volcanic eruption crater. The physics of hyper-velocity impacts prove this beyond doubt. Consider what would be left behind by heat that could vaporize 99% of a 300k tonne iron meteorite. Some of the sediments and rock from inside the crater would be vaporized along with some of the meteorite, but the walls and floor of that crater would be lined with melted sediments, rock and meteorite; aka - IMPACT GLASS. *How much glass was found at Meteor Crater? NONE.*
It’s been proven that that meteor creator was created by a Stonie meteor!
Could the meteor crater have been caused by a……..meteor? Imagine the possibilities.
Not by a meteor. A meteor burns up in the atmosphere. A meteorite made the hole...
@@valdo345jr well I guess you can also agree that the video title sucks?
I was going to make the same joke…
Jesus did it
@@moceri55 Jesus make the hole???🤦For it to poke
At the start it is stated the crater was formed ‘half a billion years ago’ then later a scientist says ‘since its only 50 thousand years old....’
It can’t be both. ?
I believe the video meant that half a billion years ago the meteor was created by a collision that put the meteor on a long journey to earth. It took the meteor half a billion years to eventually hit earth 50 thousand years ago.
@@jonathanmartin5771 ah right. Okay thanks!👍🇬🇧
@@jonathanmartin5771 it took a second for me to make that connection.
I caught that as well.
They don't know it's all a theory... it's a pretty cool theory
What if it was a massive nuclear weapon? Make the tzar bomba look like a bitch 🤷
Or some aliens came and destroyed the earth with their advanced weapons??
Maybe? Who really knows? 🤷
Arizona was not uninhabited 50,000 years ago. It may have been sparcely populated, but there are sites in N America that date to about that time
Were you alive 50k Years ago to make that claim?
@@nesq4104 Alive 50,000 years ago? Not in this life and I am a bit fuzzy on most of my previous live. But you should keep up on archaelogical discoveries instead of parading your ignorance. Just because peer reviewed main stream history has not caught up yet. You need to remember that "lack of evidence is not evidence of a lack". There are too many OOP arts (out of place artifacts) to ignore them all
@@Jagdtyger2A I have listened to Caucasians my whole life and they said no one was here that long ago. Maybe 10 to 15k years max. They said native Americans might not be that native and it's a possibility that Caucasian men arrived first on the Atlantic side.
@@nesq4104 Caucasians ay have reached the Americaslong before the Vikings, but they were hardly the first ones here. That prize probably goes to the Ainu in North America and the Australian Aborigines in South America. And unlike the pet THEORY of anthropologists, yhey were not as stupid as the mainstream academics, they didn't walk, they rook boats. All they would have had to do is examine how ancient natives of the Pacific Northwest made long distance journies. Hell, ancient Douglas Fir Tlingit canoes have been found all the way across the Pacific on the Amur river, which are thousands of years old.
@@Jagdtyger2A well the tomeline of history according to academics seems very off. But I thought the Ainu were the aborigines of Japan? Or did you mean the inuit tribes?. Australian aborigines oral history is at least 50k years old as they describe some extinct megafauna. Then in Egypt supposedly the first pyramid built before the great pyramid was submerged for 250k years. So what does that say about human history. Like on earth there are different earth's with different timeliness or the anthropologist/academia are straight up lying for some reason.
In India we too have one creator , in small village called Lonar , District Buldhana ,in state of Maharashtra . I think so many scientists have visited that place here in India , around the world .
Crater, not creator. Creator is the sky man that some people believe created the universe, like the Brahma.
It just amazes me how close it got to that visitor center without damaging it! Sheesh!!!
No. The crater was formed years before the center. It is explained early in the video. Just pay attention.
@@haleyy68 As David Letterman would say, "Oh, C'mon! It was a joke, ladies and gentlemen, don't sue me!"
@@epicasphalt6298 LOL!!! Of course it was a joke. It amazes me how the younger gen of today takes everything so literally. No humor.
Yeah pay attention!!
It couldn’t have hit this visitor center as it’s the not the original one that was built there. Some people just don’t get it I swear. 😉
I'm reading about this in A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson. It's a great book.
Very cool
Same!!
If your standing on a corner in Winslow Arizona and a girl driving a flatbed Fords slows to take a look at you, you’re close to Meteor Crater.
Tosh.0 knows a lot about geology
Lmao 😂
Good eye
Amazing! I know of three similar craters in Saudi Arabia. When I first saw them about 20 years ago I thought they were the result of meteorites’ impact. Later on I thought they were volcanic craters even though there weren’t any traces of lava flow coming out from them. Now, after watching this clip I am certain they are the result of of meteorites’ impact, since they are in areas that don’t seem to have had any volcanic activities and they look very much like this crater in Arizona.
Been there a few times, cost around $10.00. Well worth the price, give yourself a good 3-4 hours to see everything!
I like this video; but how could they go on for 4+ minutes without ever mentioning Eugene Shoemaker?
Eminent geologist/planetologist, who did so much work over his lifetime at this place, to advance that field of study, and make the place famous.
Also worth noting, it's often called, "Barringer Meteor Crater."
In any case, visiting this feature is near the top of my bucket list.
Fred
If you had visited while it was happening you it would also be on the bottom of your bucket list!
@@antonioverdad5071 And the geologists looking for meteorite fragments would be sifting through my bone frangments!
Fred
Oh, yes! I visited Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ, and met some folks who worked with Gene. It was a HORRIBLE tragedy that sidelined Gene from the astronaut program (medical issue), but he was instrumental in teaching the later Apollo astronauts geology (lunology?) what they needed to look for. It's worth a look at Tom Hanks' series "From The Earth To The Moon".
.
FRED
@@Kpar512 That's tremendous! Great that you got to talk with some of Shoemaker's colleagues!
BTW, the lunar counterpart to "geology" is "selenology."
"Selene" is the Greek word for "Moon;" "Luna" being the Latin.
Fred
Been there twice, '65 & '72. In '72 walked down to the crater floor in a group. Perspective from there is amazing. That is one big hole.
Seems like a great place for a first date!
This is a trip. I was here in 2017
Not me thinking that's what killed the dinos
Yet the meteor vanished...🤦♂️
Bit like the planes.....
Dinosaurs were not wiped out....they exist today....the dinosaurs you see in Jurassic park are nothing like they are by their skeletal bones. ...
They are birds and share pretty much the exact same bone structures as chickens ostriches turkeys flamingos ect...
The history you are taught is fake....it wants you to believe you could get destroyed just like the dinosaurs did...
Can you explain how life started again after these meteors apparently killed everything???
Did fish suddenly grow another leg or a wing?? And emerge from the ocean again??
Your perception is brainwashed propaganda without question.....mine was also the same until very recently...
The fraud keeps the fake space money laundering team in billions...
It's easy to see when you open your eyes that man existed with these beasts......which can be clearly seen in old cave drawings and artifacts.....history is literally full of man slaughtering mighty beasts.....the evidence if you remove your blind fold is crystal clear...
Our whole world is based sadly on lies....indoctrination and 24/7 propaganda. ..😔
@@anthonyferguson4218 did you fail class 2?
Actually bro, the meteor that's thought to have wiped out dinosaurs was wayy bigger and also older lolol.. it landed on the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, look it up. Scans and satellite imagery show the massive double crater it left!
They didn’t explain how the crater affects the wind. Small planes can’t fly over it because the wind makes like a vortex of some kind. The wind swirls around the crater and can reach like 100mph gusts.
Earth spin with over 1000 mph at equator. Lol and there are mountains on Earth. Kinda bigger than this fake meteorite crater.
@@stolearovigor281 fake? So let's see now, you think that Fred Flinstone dug this crater up with Dino the Dinosaur?
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 there are many holes, craters, deeps. Do you think all of them are human made?
@@stolearovigor281 Craters are usually made by meteor strikes, sink holes, volcanoes and missiles and bombs striking the ground. The Arizona crater is obviously from a meteor strike.
@@eyecomeinpeace2707 you look like a real pro in this field. I thought we spin with over 1000 mph at equator and everything that falls from fake space, like bs meteorites, it falls not at 90° angle. Btw where is the meteorite? Obviously you have no f clue.
I visited this site on my way to California in 1970 as an active duty military member. It was almost closing time, so I only got to gaze over the edge. It is an awesome sight. There was a large Iron/Nickel meteorite on display there about three or four feet across. I was thinking it was a fragment from the crater , but it could have been from somewhere else.
Waters from the deep.
@@logancoltersr4163 indeed it is a Geyser ! Great fountains from the deep!
BS ON DISPLAY.. THEY NEVER FOUND METEOR
@@stevenwhitey3535
According to Wikipedia, the large iron/nickel meteor fragment on display in the visitor center that is about 2.5 feet across is a fragment of the event, but it was found well outside the crater. Many smaller fragments have been found in the area, but the bulk of the meteorite vaporized on impact.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteor_Crater
Getting really fed up of all this BS on you tube, brainwashing my kids and the public.
I'm from Arizona and I didn't even know this
I am Arizona too and I didn’t know that too
I'm not surprised not many know about it. Not many people do the drive from Albuquerque to Phoenix like I did today on my move. I had heard about it before from Neil degrasse tyson so I made the girlfriend and daughter stop with me.
But I am indian but I know everything
I believe the meteor rate was fractured in mini pieces and shot into the landmass that was rupturing around the crater
Arizona's impact crator.
am Arizonan
This is a deep subject man.
Thanks for the video. I recently visited there and it was amazing!
There’s another meteor crater in western Texas, near Odessa, Texas; but it’s nowhere near the size of this one. The Odessa crater is 550 ft in diameter, 100 ft deep, and 63,500 years old.
Wow..cool. I did not know that. Thanks : )
Me and my son held a piece of this meteor at the British history museum 😊
@@ForkLift_Certified424 Yes, modern museum's "steal" things.
They visited the place and where like "yep. That's mine now* and went back into the plane, instead of being like "Hey, could you guys give us a little piece of the meteor?" Or someone there going "Hey, we still have some small pieces of the meteorite. Which museum wants one around the world, so everyone interested can see it?"
@@ForkLift_Certified424 But we're British! We don't steal stuff, we are the world power and have an Empire! Oh, wait a minute...I might be 150 years out of date on that one! Most of the British museum is full of stuff we nicked when we ruled the world, and everyone wants it back, now!

@@antonioverdad5071 your brother is doing well. He thought you forgot about him.
I'm taking my kids there when ever we have time when we go out to Flagstaff again I've been there once but it will be the first time for them I can't wait for this too maybe someday I'll hike down the crater Beautiful 😍😉❤
I seen it this summer, if you are ever just cruising through it’s really worth the stop. The military flew over when I was there. I was more impressed by the eagles that were out gliding along the rim and the little hummingbird that joined our group. Way cool experience!
I love this place. Happy I live within 1hour driving distance. Been there once, I didn't know NASA did training there. It's 20 dollars a person. But it's worth every cent.
If you haven’t seen it with your own eyes, it’s definitely a bucket list must see.
Coolest topographical feature I've ever seen & visitied!
That's only 50,000 years old? That's terrifying. This could absolutely happen again.
There’s something very special about Arizona..
How was this meteor crater created? A meteor
Been there, done that. It is so worth the visit. There is only one complete crater and it is just down the road a piece.
Recent findings in a cave have shown that humans may have been in the Americas as far back as 130k years ago. That would mean that humans would have experienced this cataclysm directly. Which is wild to think about.
Link ?
Still no link huh? Figured
@@StarboiFloyd go to nature magazine, the most prestigious scientific journal out, you will find what this person is referring to about the 130k year old mastodon bones discovered in south California during highway construction, the bones appeared to be placed in a specific position only humans could do and there also appeared to be an anvil next to the bones. It’a obviously very debated about whether or not humans had anything to do with it but still, it seems very plausible and likely that humans were involved given the detail of the findings and even scientists who worked on the site agree humans were involved.
"How Arizona's meteor crater was created" - I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm betting it was created by a meteor.
Hahahaha lol 😂 I was going to say that lol 😂
I'd challenge anyone to convince me that it was coincidence for the meteor to land exactly in the crater. God doesn't play dice my friends.
Haha! Straight fax!!
Went here in 2017 on my way to the Grand Canyon. Well worth the trip.
My mother in law fell on her back and that's how the crater was made I'm just to ashamed to admit it 😪
My ex mother-in-law farted that created this big crater true
Or did you fart?
Who came here after watching a Startalk Explainer from Neil on why craters on the moon are perfect circles?
I like what they've done with the place in the last 25 years.
Thx so much!!! Really helpful.
Simply a bomb that was tested there.
50 thousand years, of lots of animals and natives were here for sure.
I'm guessing the meteor crater was created by a meteor. Call it a hunch.
😂😂😂. gosh golly gee, do you really think so ??
It was a Clovis cultural burial ground before the visitors centre was built
There used to be a bunch of guys out there that had this truck with HUGE magnets hung close to the ground and they would drive around with a Cling Clack Cling picking up pieces of the meteorite.
Rubio doesn't know the difference between force and energy.
I was there in 2019. It's amazing to see in person, that hole is MASSIVE!
😛
It is! (Although I haven't been there. Yet.)
Still, compared to the lunar craters, at ≈0.8 mi ≈1300 m diameter, it's a mere pinprick! Unfortunately (or fortunately for us!), unlike the Moon, Earth has all this constant erosion, billions of years of which wipe out virtually all of our planet's impact record.
Fred
Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen filmed the final scene from Starman (1984) in that crater.
At this point in time some of us realise they can make it up as they go along
The meteor just missed the visitor center! ;-)
"Meteor Crater..... So, what made this massive hole?"
Duuuuhhhhh..... Let me guess...... A meteor?
Awesome sight.
That was a baseball in comparison to others just waiting to pay us a visit.
It looks like a giant geiser. I think water made it shooting up from the ground.
How Arizona meteor crator was created? A meteor hit the ground, that's it, all of it.
thank you, love the video
Aw, the young carrying the old.
When I saw the title of the video, I had to stop and say…. You have to be kidding
Wouldn’t it have visible side ejecta if it was in fact an angled impact? I know nothing of geology I’m just asking.
no because it wouldn’t have slid to cause the crater. It struck, and created the impact wound. A side éjecta would only show up if it somehow dragged horizontally, which is impossible.
I think we need to use a crater .To test out building a settlement for mars. If we build a settlement here we can learn how to build a settlement here before we send equipment to Mars to.
Amazing how close the meteor was to taking out the visitors center.
Looks like it just barely missed the visitors center. How lucky was that?
Lmfao.
No. The crater was formed years before the center. It is explained early in the video. Just pay attention.

@@The_Bad_Guy. My bad, I did not notice that.
Believe it or not this crater has been purchased by a private company and is now charging 20 bucks to see the creator.
We have been lied to about everything.
Could have fooled me, ... here, I thought it was done by a couple of teenagers on a weekend, with a bunch of shovels.
Bulls*hit. It's an ancient caldera.
Imagine the meteor is caseoh
thank you to all Arizona's study group
"How was it formed?" Seriously, tell them you need a box of grid squares while your at it.
What are chances for that meteor to hit the ground at a 90 degree angle in order to make the perfect round hole? Think about all the different speeds of rotation on its axis, then around the Sun and so on.
Funny how it looks like it hit straight at 90 degrees.
I'm going to make a wild guess here and say, a meteorite.
It was so lucky, that meteor passed visitor's platform so close!
Always thought it was a rented backhoe and Bobcat that did it.
Host: Meteor crater. What made this massive hole?
It is very lucky it missed the visitors center.
I guess Castle Bravo is the best explosion to look at to compare
I will save you 4 Minutes and 44 Seconds, a meteor created the crater
Through the firmament .humans dug this out it's called silver recovery .
"Meteor Crater - so what made this massive hole?"
Um .....
Throw a stone into a body of water. The amount of water that's pushed upward is much greater than the size of the stone especially if its traveling 10's of thousands miles per hour. Now do you understand?
@@interstategar a) You seem to assume that you're responding to a 4-year-old.
b) You didn't READ what you were responding to. The bit in quotes means that it is quoted from the video. Re-listen to the first 5 seconds of it.
c) I think that most intelligent people would have understood the sub-text behind "um ...." - like "um ... isn't that rather obvious"
Now do you understand?
I didn't watch the video but if I had to guess how the meteor crater was created I would have to say more than likely it was created a meteor!
