One of my viewers may have discovered a previously known impact crater that measures 4.8 miles or 7.7 kilometers wide. This feature was found via Google Earth at an elevation of more than 10,000 feet above sea level in Xinjiang, China. While this has not been confirmed yet as an impact structure, a knowledgeable expert deems it worth further investigation/study.

A special thanks to:
-Dr. Osinski
-MrBlock from Missouri, USA
-And dedicated youtube viewers who sent me lists of coordinates
