The story is plausible. Check this out : The Willamette Meteorite, officially named Willamette and originally known as Tomanowos by the Clackamas Chinook Native American tribe, is an iron-nickel meteorite found in the U.S. state of Oregon. It is the largest meteorite found in the United States and the sixth largest in the world
Simple.. offer the locals a $1 a gram for iron meteors. Word will catch on, and soon you'll have every meteorite in the desert. They know exactly where they are. They're not going to tell you for free.
I think LIDAR would be a great tool to use now. Though, I think it’s pretty far fetched to think something that large wouldn’t have done more damage. This story is like Atlantis.
Large chunk of iron you say ... the size of a small hill ... maybe, rather than trudging the desert in trucks, you might try dragging a magnetometer behind a plane at 1000 ft and see what shows up. Lot less trouble.
That's exactly what I was thinking though I was thinking some scans from space would probably be how it could be done...they just want an excuse to go camping probably....
This was filmed in March of 2000. Unfortunately, the technology being suggested by you, @2000sborton, and @russ549 would not have been developed then. I wonder if anybody has tried your suggestions more recently.
I just asked about why they didn't use a plane to scout it out, too. And...if that dude was surveying from the air to find best places for wells - then he'd have some kind of record of where he went and even when they made the next well and in what location...giving these people a smaller area to go all compulsive over. This all feels like a shit-to-the-wind thing without more resources being utilized.
24:30. We only have a liter of water each and we've gone through that already... They drive out in the desert w a liter of water each? That's just stupid
peeking at comments cuz .. people...I wonder why y'all watch things u don't like and also what you know it all haters have ever done in this field. some of u may have anyhoooo
A meteor 40 m × 100 m would've made a large crater in the ground. Not just that, it would've created a large amount of meteoric glass at the impact site. If the man would have brought the fragment and some meteoric glass, it would be a lot more believable.
There is neither a way for such a huge meteorite could land intact on the surface, nor to not create a massive landmark that would hold up against even the desert. If it fell there it would have completely obliterated, molten into the ground and left a massive deep crater that could be detected even below the sands. Simple explanation, the guy found a nice smaller meteorite and made up an exaggerated story to impress his friends at the bar or something. Sometimes things are actually very simple. But im sure expedition No. 238 will find it!
@mathis8210 it was carried there in an ice berg through the Columbia River gorge . Do 5 minutes research . it's called an erratic. there are thousands in Oregon Eastern Washington state . most likely originated in Canada. this is why there is no crater
That was already my guess. Its not even physically possible for a meteorite that large to land and remain intact, let alone sit there on the surface, unfazed by millions of years. The first few minutes of the movie are full of the typical red flags of a bullshit show, like "Why would he lie?" ... Duh, people lie all the time. For example to impress friends and have fun.
Welcome to science! Every try isn't always a grand slam. I enjoyed the video anyway. To those who are mad, dang, I wonder how mad you were when we went to war and didn't find any nukes?
After driving thousands of kilometres through and around Australia's Simpson desert in temperatures of 48.6 C (validated) and experiencing many flats and bogs, in drought and flood I thought it very unusual I did not see any VHF antennae or 'spare' spare tyres. Very strange.
Hello, I am from Chinguetti And I studied geology I made many trips to the area. There are large craters that appear in the place where the man went, but some of the large circular craters are half hidden under large sand dunes. I wish a geologist with advanced equipment would come here I believe the story and I hope someone with advanced equipment will contact me so we can get some answers
another example of not-proving - coming up empty is not proof against something happening or being - it's just another story - another expedition - interesting in itself - especially in listening in on the participants' reasoning - but non-definitive - a lot of science is like what we see in this episode - with fewer moments of great discovery and moment
Probably recorder in Super 16mm film. The cameraman should have blended up 1/2 to 1stop in order to get the faces, and should not have filmed a person with the sharp light from the window(s) behind it or near it, but should have used the light to his advantage and let the light fall upon the subject.
Was in kozumel ,daar heeft de landing van een meteoriet wel heelveel impact gehad . Dat zie ik hier helemaal niet😂. Verhalen zijn voor gelovigen, kosten tijd en leveren uiteindelijk niets op😢.
No. I once took a trip to Phoenix and was driving through town in a sandstorm using my hiking GPS and laptop map software to find where I was going and I had no problems.
They took you for a ride .....lol. Why didnt you look for loadstones? They would have pointed you in the right direction if a meteorite truly struck in that vicinity.
Having long lived in an area where summer temperatures are very high, and the sun strong, I am impressed by how inappropriate the clothing of the expedition members is. It is, in a word, idiotic.
This documentary is proof that most of the "scientists" running around with a half dozen degrees should not be allowed to cross the street on their own. This is actually much more boring that a "bigfoot hunt" and gives the same results.
Thanks to geologists we think that all living beings on our planet Earth have the most to fear from an asteroid impact or volcano eruptions. But when we look at the many horizontal layers that we find everywhere on our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters. Certainly, a cycle of regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of wet mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals and small and larger meteorites. The Northern hemisphere is covered with a layer of ice that fell down "in blocks as great as mountains". These disasters also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle, the re-creation of civilizations and its timeline and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

Yes it was transported there as an erratic from canada

I was expecting a cheap, A.I. narrated and composed doc and was pleasantly surprised that it was legit. Thank you.
Large chunk of iron you say ... the size of a small hill ... maybe, rather than trudging the desert in trucks, you might try dragging a magnetometer behind a plane at 1000 ft and see what shows up. Lot less trouble.
I was about to say something pretty similar. That two PhD's from Britains Natural History Museum didn't try this sounds pretty suspect to me.
That's exactly what I was thinking though I was thinking some scans from space would probably be how it could be done...they just want an excuse to go camping probably....

Someone in comments alleges that this documentary is 24 years old.

A good adventure yarn.
Drones and sand mats would be helpful.
So many short attention spans these days expecting a Kardashian to pop out of the sand and sell some eyeliner.
24:30. We only have a liter of water each and we've gone through that already... They drive out in the desert w a liter of water each? That's just stupid
Wow! Not even metal detectors! 🤦
'Needs the very best equipment' ... so off to the local used car dealer, cracked windshields and all. Sounds like another 'Lost Dutchman's Goldmine'.
peeking at comments cuz .. people...I wonder why y'all watch things u don't like and also what you know it all haters have ever done in this field. some of u may have anyhoooo
there was no news on it...why imagine that they could have found anything...your time was wasted too.
Great adventure!
Not ta mention the dude who brought his teddy bear.lol
What you need to find this thing is a Lockheed P-3 Orion and it's magnetic anomaly detector.
At 7.04 the poor donkey getting whipped about the face...😢.

_"But im sure expedition No. 238 will find it!"_ - yeah, absolutely. That'll be on Feb 30th, I reckon... ;-)
@mathis8210 it was carried there in an ice berg
through the Columbia River gorge .
Do 5 minutes research .
it's called an erratic.
there are thousands in Oregon Eastern Washington state .
most likely originated in Canada.
this is why there is no crater
Who funds these fun out of the way trips?
Just a load of BS. You know they will never find anything, otherwise you would have seen it on the news already
This is like the continual series "The Search for Bigfoot." A bunch of people wandering around in the wilds without success.
They don’t find anything but sand. Don’t waste your time.
Thanx
That was already my guess.
Its not even physically possible for a meteorite that large to land and remain intact, let alone sit there on the surface, unfazed by millions of years.

Spielverderber 😂
40:25 Still Looking On Foot!
Actually, it was pretty interesting!
Great documentary. Very intriguing. I love most any story, Sahara Desert related.
41:15 this is more like the surface of mars than earth

Desert 🏜 vehicles?
Dune Buggy or Sand Rails
Go find a VW and mail order parts if necessary 😊

Why weren't they scouting the territory with a plane?
They should have at least considered Tenoumer, in the north. Sure, he "said" they went south east, but he was blindfolded and intentionally confused.

This is a story about coulda, woulda, and shoulda, but never really happened!
Don’t waste your time!
11:11
The government harvested it...
Couldn't this huge chunk of iron be located with a satellite?
Was in kozumel ,daar heeft de landing van een meteoriet wel heelveel impact gehad .
Dat zie ik hier helemaal niet😂.
Verhalen zijn voor gelovigen, kosten tijd en leveren uiteindelijk niets op😢.
What a waste of time; both in the scientific effort, and my viewing the result.
Why chop up one iron meteorite and then worship anothercat mecca?
wonder if an active sandstorm scrambles GPS signal?
No. I once took a trip to Phoenix and was driving through town in a sandstorm using my hiking GPS and laptop map software to find where I was going and I had no problems.
They took you for a ride .....lol.

24 year old documentary.
And still no one has found it.
Money spent in Maurirania….
Too bad in that alternate universe they do not have satellites + AI image processing to find the meteorite. I would be fast and easy.
Like watching sand thru an hourglass.
I wish I'd seen this comment before going through 47 and a half minutes of boring video.
Click baiting

Stop using stupid AI voices and use real humans instead
The video is from 2000. They didn't have AI voices back then.
Amatør det er hvad de er ikke andet 👎
Clickbait.
I mean it does say "attempt" right there in the title...

49min story with NOTHING to show for it. Watch the 1st 5mins and that's all you actually need to watch for the story. Rest is 44mins of fluff.
First
And the only one for an hour. Congratulations on mediocrity bro!
Last
No one cares!
This guy fucks
Who Gives a Flying Fk if you were FIRST? Juvenile behavior at its worst.
At least Dr Sara of the Sahara is a cutie.
Obviously you need glasses!
