More Comet Megafauna Extinct Theory

Deposits of dark silicate glass are strewn across a 75-kilometer corridor in the Atacama Desert in northern Chile. New research shows that those glasses were likely formed by the heat of an ancient comet exploding above the surface. Credit: P.H. Schultz/Brown University

More Comet Megafauna Extinct Theory

“It’s too soon to say if there was a causal connection or not, but what we can say is that this event did happen around the same time as when we think the megafauna disappeared, which is intriguing,” Schultz said. “There’s also a chance that this was actually witnessed by early inhabitants, who had just arrived in the region. It would have been quite a show.”

There was a similar theory, in the last 10 years, about a strike on the glaciers that popped up continually. Reid use to complain about it. It seems to have petered out now.
This evidence from Chile looks better, though.
Like they say, it would have been a sight to see, assuming you lived.
