Hello Alex, All, Well, first-off, the power needed to make a 35m crater...I don't think conventional weapons would do it.
Secondly, I did some sleuthing and managed to find this: http://www.gearthhacks.com/dlfile24600/African-Meteor-Crater?.htm Third, when I plug in the coordinates available on Dirk's site, I get an island just south of Japan....I couldn't find the crater by trying to read the coordinates in the screenshot - too difficult. Anyone know where it really is? Dirk?
