Sodom found?

[Anomalocaris]

well, on the face of it, the odds of a major bolide air burst of the magnitude described occurring over a given spot during historic times is extremely small. The two largest event of this nature to happen during the 20th century didn’t come close to causing any conflagration on the ground. AFAIK there is no record of such an occurrence within reliable historic records, which tend to suggest its frequency of occurrence over the land surface of the earth is at most once every few centuries. So the chance of one of these occurrences having visited a particular spot in the last 5000 years must be almost infinitesimal.
