Theory of large meteorite impact in Finnish Lapland is false -Ursa

2.1.2006 at 11:03

The suspected meteorite crater in the Mantokoski river in Utsjoki in Finnish Lapland could not have been caused by a meteorite, said Jarmo Moilanen, a representative of the Finnish astronomical association (Ursa) in a statement Saturday.

The impact of a meteorite leaving such a large crater would have been detected, Mr Moilanen argued.

The chair of Ursa´s Utsjoki branch had suspected Friday that a meteorite had caused the crater, estimated to have a diameter of as much as 300 metres.
