  I prefer Robert Schoch's theory that it was a solar outburst (aka micro-nova) rather than a comet that dramatically warmed the entire Earth. (he was also on Joe Rogan)

    His theory on the aurora borealis that would have covered the planet and been more intense is very interesting. Esp the drawings of a human shaped figure with the balls near the armpits across the world. Which was later shown to be the result of some plasma interference or something or another that would have been seen around the world and drawn.

    A solar outburst would not have deposited a layer of platinum dust.

      Do you mean iridium? I hadn’t heard of the platinum dust later previously

        The K-T bolide scattered iridium dust. The YD bolide scattered platinum dust.
