That's so awesome, what a cool discovery! If it is confirmed to be a crater in the future, they better name it the Alok crater. This has inspired me to keep my eyes peeled for any unique topographical structures...
Lol I don't think they name craters like that, probably by nearby toponyms/place names. Yeah, who knows what else lies undiscovered out there, like this crater that was hiding in plain sight all this time, so it's enjoyable searching for stuff on satellite view.
Ej Alok, upravo sam gledao snimak kvalifikacija za World Cup, nisam imao pojma da imamo predstavnika u vrhu ove igre. Svaka čast! Ovo pišem dan pred finale i želim ti da ti predsednik organizuje doček pred Skupštinom za zlatnu medalju!
Google maps. About 200 miles west of Sitka Alaska seems to be an 18 mile wide sea floor feature that looks like what would the sea bottom look like after an impact.
oh indeed I see it! that would be interesting if it's actually possible to explore that and find out, maybe you should contact someone related to those things from the US
@@GeoAlok i submitted it a decade ago.. they changed the rules. no more google image screen grabs.. some people replied that its likely a an impact feature as its shape and its depression in the alluvial sediment would be expected when the surface of the ocean was impacted. creating a shock wave much like a microburst. blocked in the middle so the raised peak in the middle and the outer of the shock digging a moat in the sediment.. the coast guard ice breaker on a research mission took core samples on an east to west path across the feature but i don't know what became of those or exactly who took them.. maybe you should do a video asking .. is that an impact feature or not.. i always wanted to ask researchers in Siberia recovering frozen mammoths to grab ice samples to check signs it was sea water that froze them in falling from the sky.. the impact would have sprayed ocean water out and upwards falling thousands of miles away as snow or ice.. imagine the size of the Tsunami that swept over the north pacific.. could that be why mammoth tusks are found in gold rich deposits.. because the water ejected from the impact or the tsumami washed up and over the mountains killing the mammoths and washing down everything that left gold deposits with the mammoth tusks..
It only takes a glance at the moon to see how cratered Earth would look without an atmosphere, erosion, and plate tectonics. It's almost weird that there aren't more visible craters than there are. Congratulations on your discovery. Let's hope Yemen finds peace sooner than later so that it can be confirmed. You have to wonder if the mosque in the middle has its own Black Stone!
It's actually not that weird that there aren't many visible craters on Earth. For starters, Earth has as a much larger atmosphere than the Moon, meaning smaller meteorites will be disintegrated due to friction. On the Moon, even small objects entering its area can cause massive damage. In addition, Earth is geologically active, meaning its crust repairs itself due to natural geological processes. The Moon is not geologically active, therefore craters in the crust are not being covered by newly generated crust.
@@psyarts8687 Thanks, but I think you didn't read the first sentence of my comment properly. I mention those things. Also, almost weird is not the same as weird.
...bro is grinding so hard at geo he discovered a meteorite crater 💀

They should at least build a statue of you in that town 😁 @@GeoAlok
I love that there are ppl living in it :) Great spot!
I am so excited for you. If you can and want, keep us updated. ❤
Yeah for sure, but the confirmation won't be coming soon as there is a civil war raging there now.

ahahaha hvalaa
Really cool stuff alok!
Damn thats so amazing!

i always wanted to ask researchers in Siberia recovering frozen mammoths to grab ice samples to check signs it was sea water that froze them in falling from the sky.. the impact would have sprayed ocean water out and upwards falling thousands of miles away as snow or ice.. imagine the size of the Tsunami that swept over the north pacific.. could that be why mammoth tusks are found in gold rich deposits.. because the water ejected from the impact or the tsumami washed up and over the mountains killing the mammoths and washing down everything that left gold deposits with the mammoth tusks..
Awesome Discovery

That would be amazing if it really does lol!

@@Freakoutski You're so right, I somehow missed that last part of the first sentence my bad
samo napred :)
