[meteorite-list] Rocks From Space Picture of the Day - March 29, 2007

[Gerald Flaherty]

Recently there was an interesting TV [I think the History Channel]special on 
the theoretical origin of Libyan Desert Glass. It  proposed a Tunguska like 
air burst, in relatively recent geologic time in what was then an entirely 
different ecologic environment.
Although the event proposed was several orders of magnitude greater than the 
Siberian catastrophe, the area effected was in no way the present spread of 
the Libyan field.
Because of the Water in the what is the today's desert, the Glass was spread 
to its present area, [I think they said the area of Rhode Island]by drainage 
and swift flowing currents.
Did anyone else see the show or hear of this theory?
