JAKARTA-caused Disasters terrifying meteor ever hit the state of Yucatan in Mexico, approximately 65.5 million years ago.
Asteroid collision estimated diameter of 10 kilometers in the region left the pit crater area of West Java.

But the explosion was heard up ambit 800 kilometers and the dust causes the sky quite bright. Fragments of comet Encko causes of forest within the ambit 25 miles scorched.
