"PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] - At the end of the Pleistocene
era, wooly mammoths roamed North America along with a cast of
fantastic creatures - giant sloths, saber-toothed cats, camels, lions,
tapirs and the incredible teratorn, a condor with a 16-foot wingspan.

What caused that mass extinction 12,900 years ago is anyone's guess I
suppose. Including alien attack from the moon.

What sort of attack?
Well you know Star Wars and the Death Star, well if you were to put a
charge on the moon's surface using some sort of huge power system, its
possible you could discharge a lightning bolt of Biblical proportions
onto the earth.
Maybe even " in more than 50 sites around North America"

Plato wrote something to that effect. That Zeus, um fired lightning
bolts at the earth, ...

I may turn out to be wrong but I think thast if you go back to the
original, Plato (and other ancients) did not write about 'lightning
bolts' but only 'bolts'. The addition of the word 'lightning' is the
work of later translators who did not think that 'bolts' on their own
made sense.

What is proposed for 12,900 years ago is indeed a 'bolt' without much
in the way of accompanying lightning. It is likely that this is the
kind of event that Plato and others were actually writing about.

Well Louis Frank at the University of Iowa, did a study in conjunction
with NASA, and concluded that ice and snowballs from space happen
every minute. Some as big as 20 or 30 tons. Some as big as Tunguska
happen occasionally as well, and some maybe even larger occasionally
happen. And if it exploded in the atmosphere, it wouldn't leave a
crater.

The only thing is, that it seems like that is just not quite enough,
to explain why the change was not global.
There seems to be no evidence that New Zealand was effected or
Antarctica, and South America wasn't affected much either.

You seem to be working on the basis that if we don't actually know of
an impact then there wasn't one.

Well you can go to geology.com and use the satellite imagery for
Canada and see for yourself.
No recent impact crater.http://geology.com/canada-satellite-images.shtml

Well I suppose it might have blown into an ice ***.

But then would it explode?
