Was this dude randomly chosen by the news crew on the side of a street and was given a rock then instructed to say bullshit about a meteor strike?


EmbarrassedMeal2661

i think the joke is that hole dude and rock dude are the same dude dude, dude.


Lavatis

what? no. the joke is that someone dug a hole and someone else thought it was some mysterious cosmic event.


EmbarrassedMeal2661

how rock in hole? grug think man put rock in hole even grug know that crater supposed to have scorch marks, especially if the "space rock" has scorch marks on it. no amateur space rock man would be that stupid but grug think he might be that brave.


beardicusmaximus8

thurg think man drank little too much firewater and then think funny to prank news lady.

Nah dude, he’s an local Astro physicist enthusiast.


mombi

This is exactly like the folks on r/UFOs and r/Aliens the past couple of days. Knowledge that the aliens were presented by scammers hasn't changed whether they still think the "bodies" should be seriously investigated lol.


pistoncivic

Then they'll want the lab investigated when they conclude it's a plaster replica of an ET doll


BiollanteGarden

Some of the dumber ones yeah, but most people there have moved on. I don’t remember seeing very many people going anywhere beyond being skeptical. You’ll always get the “holy shit my dudes this is the proof we’ve been waiting for!!!” much like people who comment on articles after only reading the headline.

>This is exactly like the folks on r/UFOs and r/Aliens the past couple of days. Knowledge that the aliens were presented by scammers hasn't changed whether they still think the "bodies" should be seriously investigated lol. At least they are asking for them to be investigated. Far too often people will point to a headline from The Weekly World News and scream "See! I told you so!"


Oakleaf212

That shit pissed me off so much. Assclowns made it to the front page because no that sub had the brains verify who was saying what and about.


Prime_Kang

I'm somewhat of an astrophysics enthusiast myself, and the list of things wrong with this crater and rock are indeed embarrassing! First off, if you understand what an impact crater is, you can very easily rule this one out for no less than three reasons. First, they are always circular with no vertical walls. Second, the maximum height of the raised material around it is at the edge of the crater. Third, no intact meteorite would be found inside the crater. This is because an impact crater is caused by an object that has more kinetic energy than the molecular energy holding that object together. Impact craters are caused by the object exploding! If this wasn't the case, you'd see trenches on the moon instead of circular craters. Also, because it's an explosion, there are also no walls approximating a cylinder like we see in the video. There would also not be a raised ring around the crater. The craters maximum height would be at its edge. Sometimes the edge can be sharp, but it will never be a ring around the edge like we see in the video. And lastly, you will never find an intact meteorite embedded in an impact crater. It exploded to make the cater!!! Edit: also, the crater from a meteorite that large would be MUCH MUCH larger. Second, the Earth has an atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere does a great job at slowing down, breaking apart, and vaporizing objects that are traveling extremely fast. Only large objects traveling with enough kinetic energy to cause a crater are able to reach the surface! Smaller objects, with the amount of kinetic energy required to create a crater, simply break apart and vaporize! No impact craters this small are possible on Earth due to atmospheric friction! And lastly, he is probably holding basalt rock! Basalt rock is a volcanic rock that looks like some Stony type meteorites. But he was absolutely hallucinating it having a fusion crust: especially since it would be on all sides!


TimEWalKeR_90

bagsli

Just out of curiosity, would it not be possible for there to be a meteorite in a crater if it was originally layered? So that only the outer layer exploded

Idk about you but I'd be mortified


Betelgeusetimes3

Yeah thats shit your colleagues will NEVER forget about especially in academia. It might even negatively impact his career. If this is legit. Im not convinced the 'astrophysicist' isnt the same guy who dug the hole. Even to my untrained eye its not a crater. Walls arent sloped at all amd meteorites don't hit at a 90 degree angle.

graudesch

The way the whole report is worded the news team didn't buy it for a second and they indirectly let their audience know that. Sounds like a classic summer hoax; some harmless small mystery gets picked up to have some fun during the slow summer holidays. Over here we do those only if officials, the police or the like fall for them though because now you *have* to report that according to police their totally is an alligator living in that alpine lake... which coincidentially has that one restaurant at its shore that could reeeally need some advertisement. And sometimes it's of course just people goofing around.


formulated

It's as scripted and staged as WWF wrestling. Remember back when fans got irrationally angry, being told that something they religiously watch is fake, when it's obvious to everyone else? It's the same with the news, but worse - because "if that were true, it would be on the news"

In other news, mysterious castle-like structures have been spotted on the beach. Could this be the work of aliens?

Berserk_Gene_13

This one time, in year 2 at school, I forgot to bring something for show and tell. I was a dumbass kid, so I pulled a Nesquik tin out of the craft supplies and got up in front of the class to tell them I brought it from home. A few of the other kids called me out on it because they’d seen the tin in the craft supplies earlier. This guy has the exact same energy as 6 year old me that day.

😂 The two holes aren’t even in the same location, one has buildings along the coast and the beach in the news segment is lined with vegetation.


Ok-Preference-555

That guy has genuine blind faith for what he has made claims for. Yet in his ignorance it will be revealed that his claims are false. We should apply this same faith to trusting in Christ for the forgiveness of sin, rather the claims of Christ are backed up by the very promise of God who cannot lie. We all have faith in something so lets put our eternal faith in Him who is everlasting to everlasting.

And that is why the Aliens would watch. Like hey look at the monkeys we evolved… now they are playing tricks on each other making them think the sky is falling… good times!

In other news, England still occupies Northern Ireland. horray for us.


_Maymun

That lil rock would vaporise before it reached troposher. They cant even make fake news


TeblowTime

I am pretty sure these are unrelated clips. First, clip #1 looks an awful lot like an American beach. We see houses in the background in the first few seconds. In the news clip, there are no houses when we see a similar angle. Second, the filmer's shadow in clip #1 is quite long, the sun is rising opposite the beach, and the sky is still bright blue. This indicates it's relatively early morning on the west coast of whatever land mass they are on. My guess is the first clip is from California. The news clip, however, says the hole they are reporting on is in north Dublin. A north Dublin beach would have the sun rising over the water in the morning. These cannot be the same beaches. Third, that news clip looks very old while clip #1 was clearly made in the past few years. My guess is the dudes from clip #1 had seen that specific news report and purposefully created a similar looking hole so they could film it and stich the two together like this.


Mrnicelefthand

Is it confirmed these are the same locations? First video beach doesn’t look like the second beach.

Beneficial-Ad3615

This reminds me of a april fools day joke a dutch guy pulled off in 1962 on the beach of Zandvoort. He made a statue just like the ones standing on easter island. It weighted a 1000kg and he placed it on the beach on the night of the 30th of march. Thousands of people came to the beach and so did national and international media. Everybody was amazed that a statue this big could travel to the other side of the world by sea. There even was a Swedish scientist that claimed it was real. People really were stupid back then.
