Lightning blamed for mystery craters on Alabama farm
Army experts concluded lightning caused the cratered land found on William Blackburn's farm near Red Bay Alabama after seismographs recorded two hours of tremors. Eyewitness reports of a roaring sound followed a day after a loud explosion and holes up to 28 feet long were found near a damaged fence and a large tree. Authorities dispatched explosive experts and noted the site showed heat marks, while some locals had speculated about a rocket or foreign object. The firm conclusion credited the weather event over any spacecraft or weapon.
