meteoroid or asteroid there truly may not be any material left from the
blast. However, if I remember correctly, the cometary theory is based
not just on the fact no meteorites were found near the epicenter, but

I hear a lot references made to meteorites disappearing
after they fall to Earth because thy are destroyed by

them to disappear relatively rapidly, within years from
