Africa has an eye that stares into space, complete with a dark pupil and blue iris. It’s located in western Sahara, in the country of Mauritania. Its official name is the Rhichat Structure.

The Eye of the Sahara was first believed to be an impact crater. However, it doesn’t have the kinetic shock features associated with such craters. Instead, its features indicate that it was produced by an even application of pressure across its 50 km diameter.

Collapsed dome?

So, current thinking suggests that it is a collapsed dome. Hot water or magma produced a circular hill that subsequently collapsed into the concentric circular structure we see today.

The logic is simple. Since it wasn’t produced by a concentrated blast at its center, it must have been produced through a swelling, followed by a collapse.

The possibility that an incoming meteorite may have produced an evenly distributed pressure wave doesn’t appear to have been considered.

Furthermore, any electrical considerations have almost certainly been ignored. Because mainstream cosmology doesn’t take electromagnetic forces into account when dealing with meteorites.

Electrical event?

However, the Richat Structure has all the characteristics of an electrical event. It displays the tell tale twist of a Birkeland Current.

But if it is electrical in nature, it must have been created differently than normal. Instead of a pin point explosion, the incoming object must have produced something more like a sheet of lightning.

It would’ve been an extremely powerful lightning event. Powerful enough to lift the top soil off the entire 8,000 km² area.

A subsequent explosion of the meteorite itself would then have blown the top soil to the side.

Gamma rays and transmutations

However, the main impact would’ve been due to the sheet lightning rather than the subsequent explosion of the meteorite.

Instead of a concentrated flash from an explosion, there would’ve been a more evenly distributed pressure wave.

Furthermore, the lightning would’ve produced a lot of gamma rays and positrons. The sort of stuff required for transmutations of elements.

There would’ve been electrolytic effects. Gamma rays and positrons may also have produced rare elements and isotopes.

The end result would’ve been a circular structure with an unusual chemistry. Which is exactly what we have.
