'Scientists: Massive Meteorite Found Near Stockton
(CBS13) STOCKTON An amazing discovery was made in our own backyard as scientists found what they think is a meteorite the size of a small town!
While looking for oil, scientists say they found space dust and possibly a mammoth meteorite. The possible meteorite is buried deep in the ground about 10 miles west of Stockton in an area called Victoria Island.
Scientist believe the meteorite is buried nearly a mile beneath farmland. Three dimensional images show the circular crater created by the rock are estimated to be three miles wide. They say that this event occurred over 50 million years ago.
The impact would have been as powerful as 100,000 atomic bomb blasts and would have been seen and heard for hundreds of miles.
Scientists will return to the site to collect more samples. They hope to someday get a piece of the meteorite itself.'
