- This "crater" was dug by a small backhoe, probably
using an attachment on a larger garden tractor and done in the middle of
the night (photo below.) It would only take about 5 minutes to dig this
small hole. Diameter of crater is about the maximum reach for a backhoe
on a small tractor.

-
- (See figure below) Red area shows bucket scoop footprint.
A ordinary shovel does not leave this kind of mark. Tractor was located
just beyond the yellow area at the 7:00 position. Blue area shows less
dirt than yellow area, as a result of the bucket pulling dirt toward machine
when it digs.
-
- Angles of sides of bucket footprint (red area and corners
of excavation) appear to show machine was at 7:00 position. Bucket sides
on backhoes always radiate outward from the pivot point on the attachment,
making location of the machine easy (light blue lines.) Chunkier material
is grouped together in the yellow area, which is where most of the dirt
is piled. Right-angled corners and grouped dirt are highly unlikely to
happen if something "blasted" itself out of the ground.

- Absence of metals from tests also confirms this
was not an impact crater.

- This is just a hoax.
