The Azuara impact event in the Spanish TV

On June 9, 2006, TV Aragón presented a film report on the exhibition about the Azuara impact event. Settings of the film were

  • a geological exposure in the field and the impact exhibition in the town hall of Azuara both together with Ferran Claudin and Kord Ernstson.
  • a study in the university of Zaragoza with a computer monitor and a geological map presented by A. L. Cortés.

The reporter clearly presented both positions of the controversy underlined especially by the following subtitles in the TV:

  • Ferran Claudin and Kord Ernstson are working on the impact since two decades.
  • The impactor could have been a comet that hit the ground at a velocity between 20 and 70 km/s.
  • The exhibition in the Azuara town hall can also be visited in the Internet

And

  • The university of Zaragoza denies the existence of the impact of a meteorite.
