The land where Meteor Crater is located is private property. The owners can control if any aircraft, manned or unmanned can takeoff, land or be controlled from or on their property. Obviously the owners have signs posted that warn of no drone flying and I suspect the owners would prohibit take offs and landing from within their property boundaries. That is within their property owner rights. The owners do not have legal control over the airspace above. The airspace above this property is controlled by the FAA and US law. It is located in FAA class G uncontrolled airspace. A review of the FAA VFR sectional map shows no aircraft restrictions. At present there are no TFRs posted restricting aircraft flights over the property. This applies to both manned or unmanned aircraft. This land is not a National Park, nor any Wilderness area and not subject to any NP low flight regulations. High altitude jets fly over it all the time, legally also could a low flying manned aircraft. It is my understanding that so long as you do not takeoff, land, or operate your drone from their property that you are legal to fly over it so long as you fly in compliance with all FAA regulations. Drone flights are legal in the US you if you fly in conformance with 14 CFR Part 107 guidelines or public laws flights for hobby aircraft per 112-95 Section 336. The Crater owners cannot control public lands adjacent to their property, nor your activities on other properties. I would check local property records for where their property boundary lies, and do not park on, trespass, nor take off, land or operate a drone from their crater property. I would suggest that only a long range flight would be legal, parking well off the property, launching off of their property, flying along the south rim away from the visitor center, avoid going too low and stay away from going over any people and you are fully within your rights so long as your flights are conducted IAW the federal laws. If your flight in any way approaches near personnel on the ground, directly over people then that could be grounds for a complaint to the FAA for a FAA flight violation, or possibly a local ordinance nuisance or noise complaint to the local authorities if it interferes with the normal usage of the property. Stay well away from people. It is reported that on their property that signs are posted stating that countermeasures are in effect that would result in the loss of your drone. It is my opinion that any method to interfere with the lawful flight or operation of any aircraft, including a UAS or drone, or any attempt to disable any aircraft, could put at risk the aircraft, or potentially create a falling debris hazard to people on the ground. Such interference violates the rightful operation of any aircraft, and such interference would violate federal law and any drone pilot would have a good basis to seek compensation if such were to happen. I suspect it is simply a scare tactic. If they are in fact somehow interfering with any lawful drone flights, it is totally illegal and also hazardous. Drone flights too close to people if they interfered with the owners rightful use of the property could result in the property owners calling the authorities on a noise or nuisance complaint. That still doesn’t mean that staff of the property might try to intimidate you as has been reported by some drone flyers, but do your homework and be prepared. Also watch the winds and weather as winds over the crater rim could have down drafts on the lee side. If you lose your aircraft expect to be trespassing on their property if you attempt to recover it.
IIRC during my visit, the reason why there are few modern remnants of the meteorite, is that about 100 years ago, all the pieces that could be found were gathered up and sold for scrap metal. (Did they buy meth with the money?)
Looks to me a lot more of an explosion up from the ground, like a boiling bubble of mud popping on the surface than a meteor striking perfectly dead on. Especially since there is no trace of a meteor.
The thing that amazed me during my visit was that the gift shop somehow survived the blast.
It was rebuilt an hour later by migrant workers.
@@blueeyedsoulmanBecause the white colonizers were too lazy to rebuild it.
That's AMAZING.. It barely missed that building next to it.
I think the building was built many years after it hit
@@thrillseekeradventures3429 ROFLMAO.. I'm an amateur (armchair) astronomer and study astrophysics.

is this the starman movie crater?
First thanks great video

Looks to me like you're low information.
