What created the tens of thousands of mysterious, perfectlyelliptical depressions scattered across the eastern United States? Chris returns to the Matt Beall Podcast nearly three years after his first appearance to revisit the mystery of the Carolina Bays. While the prevailing scientific explanation attributes their formation to wind and water, Chris challenges that theory, presenting evidence suggesting these formations could be the result of a massive cosmic impact into an ancient ice sheet over Michigan.
Using LiDAR imagery, geological research, ancient shorelinedata, and historical scientific experiments, Chris and Matt examine whether the Carolina Bays could be hundreds of thousands of years older than previously believed. They discuss the limitations of the 1977 wind-and-water experiment,the possibility of secondary impacts from debris ejected into the atmosphere, and why Chris no longer believes the Carolina Bays formed during the Younger Dryas. With new research papers undergoing peer review, Chris makes the casefor reopening a scientific mystery that many researchers consider settled.
