In an 1891 report, state geologist, Professor Eugene Allen Smith, noted that the area around Wetumpka was “structurally disturbed.” In this video, Dr. Phillips, along with expert geologists, examine evidence that suggests the altered landscape around Wetumpka is the result of an ancient asteroid collision.

This video is fantastic! I live in the panhandle of Florida and have become keen to understand what major events that have taken place in this corner of the country over the history of the earth. I recently became aware of the wetumpka astrobleme and this video is exactly what I was hoping to find. Haha it's been waiting for me to find it for 30 years and I'm 36. Beautiful production!

The dude narrating is cool, thanks for the documentary. I am a musician that lives in Birmingham, and knew nothing about this impact crater.

Great video. Lots of interesting background info. Historical compilation regarding just how hard it is to get a paper published about an impact crater.

Isn’t it odd that they just discovered this? I was born and raised in Wetumpka, lived there for 30 years, and now at age 73 they’re just now talking about this thing that happened millions of years ago. That’s Wetumpka.
