The Other Side of Midnight

Show Page: Alternate Listening: Tonight ... we're "doing" dinosaurs .... Long before "Jurassic Park," how many kids -- in their early visits to the local library -- one day, serendipitously discovered their first, startlingly realistic (to a ten-year-old) picture-book on "dinosaurs" -- the long-extinct ?fearfully-great lizards? (from the word's Greek roots)?-- And ... were hooked. My guest tonight, citizen-scientist and author Max Hawthorne, obviously never got over his first "library dinosaur experience" -- not only becoming a dedicated amateur paleontologist, but a best-selling author on the "fearfully-great-creatures" as well .... In our own, totally independent "Enterprise" paleontological inquiries, it's looking more and more like "the dinosaurs" did NOT succumb "in an afternoon" to the now, scientifically-accepted "random asteroid strike." Rather, from our evidence ... "the dinosaurs" were carefully ... deliberately ... KILLED -- by an ancient asteroid impact in the Yucatan ... precisely targeted ... to "19.5 degrees!" Join us ... as we explore, potentially, "the most monstrous, ancient solar system GENOCIDE of all time" ... and what led up to it. Richard C. Hoagland Copyright 2020
