More interesting to me is the fact that scientists say that if the Earth were struck by an object that large, it would wipe out all higher life forms. So how did the higher life forms we have survive that?

Looks like the fried egg was a straight in impact, if that ‘s what it is.

The smaller egg appears to have been impacted from the right in that picture.

A ‘’fried egg’’ crater? Sounds more like a’’ scrambled’’one:-)

Interestingly, there is another - but much smaller - feature just 3-4km to the west of the egg.

It would seem that the big crater happened sometime after the smaller feature.

Haven’t they been hunting an impact crater in the Azores for a long time?

If the Fried Egg was made by a space impactor, the collision probably took place within the past 17 million years...

I vaguely remember seeing the flash across the sky but I might be mistaken too.........I think I was caught up in trying to light a fire with some sticks.
