The Russians take my 'impact crater' seriously
The Siberian Center for Global Catastrophes, a division of the Russian Academy of Sciences has included.... er... Corbett's Crater in their Catalogue of Earth's Impact Structures. It's listed as a probability 2 (ie.

Heheh..... I guess that would be something a little different ;-)
Then again, if this.. er.. geological feature slips from a level 2 (possible) to a level 4 (discredited) I'll only be able to give a talk about getting a "big hole in the ground" named after me! ;-)
