That’s what happened, Greg Laughlin of the University of California at Santa Cruz, said, to a chunk of iron and nickel about 50 yards across roughly 10 million to 100 million years ago. The result is a hole in the desert almost a mile wide and 500 feet deep in northern Arizona, called Barringer Crater. A gift, perhaps, from our friend and lord, Jupiter. Unlike the science writers, fact checkers and editors at the exalted New York Times, I'm aware that Barringer Crater is only believed to be about 50,000 years old.
I’ve seen this claim before... I think astronomers are saying that it got bumped out of its orbit 10 - 100million years ago, eventually hitting us 50,000 years ago.
