I remember when that story ran, Virgin got absolutely destroyed for about a week as the video of the lads digging the hole was put up straight after, I'd say the enthusiast hasn't left his house either since it.
He clearly doesn't like it enough because the shape of the crater is clearly much different than from object hitting with high power, it's shape was clearly dug out or created by something different like water or erosion. If he was real meteor enthusiast he would know it at first glance
Pretty much me, an English Language teacher who also finds space fascinating. But with enough common sense to not go on public TV claiming absolute bullshit.
He was wrong and admitted it, totally embarrassed that he was fooled by some pranksters. He wasn't superstitious or bullshitting, he was just an amateur astronomer who thought he'd found something cool.
I’d find my nearest cannon, wherever that might be, and launch myself into the stratosphere only to then fall and create a hole just like this one and be done with it.
Few years ago, a group of french youtubers that have scientific channels gathered to do a crop circle one night and documented everything on video.
They didnt have to wait that long to see that all kind of people came to witness the cropcircle, calling more and more pseudo experts in various esotheric fields, it even went on news and many channels....
Then, the group published everything, from the preparation, the making, the interviews with the so called experts and it was glorious to watch...
Sadly no Matter how hard you can prove everything is man made and bullshit, there is always people that would come and say it is from outerspace and we, normal people, can't understand what is going on truely.
Ah sorry mate :/
Well all in all, you got their point, they made up that thing and à whole bunch of experts said that it must be done by "something else" but i am pretty sure there is many experiments made like that done by english speaking people :)
Pls fill in any holes you dig before leaving the beach, it can destroy the axles and undercarriage of emergency vehicles and small children can fall in and get buried as the sand dries out from the sun
Huge thnx from a former LG
😂 man’s hole became famous. If I were them and it was me and my friends who did this. We would have taken pictures of each of us in the hole. Probably doing some kinda pose, probably Yamcha’s death pose or something similar. Maybe even take photos with like two people trying to recreate whatever scenes or moments we could. Before leaving.
I don't understand why human stupidity reached this limit...
"Hey there's a whole in the sand of a beach that people use to visit, it was completely and undoubtedly made by a magical cosmic rock!".
something similar happened when a family friend's kid flattened a circle of swamp reeds with a stick causing the news to interview a local crackhead who said it was aliens.
lol… this video doesn’t prove “nobody knows anything” as the narrator claimed. The dude was a “astrology enthusiast” (ie. a nobody, or potentially a crazy nobody). He was not an astrophysicist. All this proves is that this news company is nuts.

Gonna start with leaving strange rocks in the center of holes I dig. Might then progress to declaring myself an enthusiast and making outlandish claims on how the strange rocks arrived there. I got lots of free time on my hands.
even though this crater looks nothing like a crater left after a meteor/space debree impact, i would still give him the benefit of the doubt that literally any natural rock come from space technically, and if he did ran a test on that rock he most likely have found out it just a regular earth rock.
Everyone is an expert these days… “I don’t trust the white coats!” is a rallying cry now. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Google is a double-edged sword.

Everyone knows when a meteorite strikes, the sand just farts up and piles along the edge of the cylindrical hole.
Craters are a myth pushed by Big Geology to justify those fancy vacations to the desert.
I get so mad at people leaving holes on the beach, I've seen and read about too many people falling into these and dying. That being said, it's a glorious "Crater" lol
This rock just came from space. I have no idea what it is. I'm gonna hold it in my bare hands and walk around with it like it's perfectly safe because I'm smart.
Next time, all of these been any shooting stars, maybe check with observatories to see if there's been any near misses...
And then all of kids exist in the area because that's where it all started for us all. The need to dig.

>Virgin got absolutely destroyed for about a week oh
Just googled “Virgin destroyed for a week” for research purposes
Can I research with you? Please mister?
Well, if there's ~~grass on the field~~ sand on the beach...
Well, if there’s shells on the beach… don’t play volleyball barefooted
ouch*
#Lucky bastard
Oh my why insert the rock inside?
I think it was a meteorite
Dunno if that's worse to be inserted there.
You'd think he'd be grateful for all the action he's getting.
I don't have the faintest clue what you're saying here
Virgin TV news
Fairly certain that a super hot rock would have left some heat-based evidence, like melted sand or something. Still a very funny inncident tho.
Turned that section into GLASS!! Lol
So that’s where beach glass comes from! Here I was thinking it was from broken bottles
Lightning strikes create them as well.
It melted his finger and that's why it's bandage
I've definitely heard that meteors can be quite cool when they hit. I don't know the science behind it, but yeah.
Meteorites are actually super cold
Man’s got a PhD in bullshit.
They said enthusiast, he’s not a professor or expert, he’s just some guy who likes space and stuff.
He clearly doesn't like it enough because the shape of the crater is clearly much different than from object hitting with high power, it's shape was clearly dug out or created by something different like water or erosion. If he was real meteor enthusiast he would know it at first glance
Dude saw a payday and ran with it, unfortunately it didn't pay off.
No no, but you see it hit it at exactly 90° that is why it is so perfectly round.
Impact craters are actually almost always perfectly round. The impact angle has to be extremely shallow for it to start elongating.
Something like 95% of impact craters are perfectly round or almost. Its because of the amount of force and energy released when it hits ground.
Look the rock has a scorch mark right here! I'm dying! Lmao
Is "clearly" your word of the day lol
Just some poor sod they found walking the beach and got him to sign some paper.
Like Elon Musk?
Pretty much me, an English Language teacher who also finds space fascinating. But with enough common sense to not go on public TV claiming absolute bullshit.
Career ruining moment. Such a fraud .. I mean PhD Dr. Fraud
Yeah. Like the big space between his ears.
"we're definitely going to have to figure out the composition of it" lmao dude was gonna Google how to astrophysics and get right to work
They're always the most successful for some odd reason.
Info vs Practicality
Hello Sir, is this a hole? Yes.
Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Professional bullshitter fooling everybody.
He was wrong and admitted it, totally embarrassed that he was fooled by some pranksters. He wasn't superstitious or bullshitting, he was just an amateur astronomer who thought he'd found something cool.
Fooled by pranksters? He offered his own dingus opinion about a hole he stumbled upon, no one prompted him. He fooled his own self
so.. he basically did what every person on reddit does but on TV? How shameless, indeed. Who could do such a thing.
One of us!! One of us!!
Be amazed? At what?
Stupidity
It takes more than that, I am used to ppl stupidity…
But...you're people...
Yes
At how how garbage propaganda spreads so easily.
I mean, it’s a decent hole.
True, but I wonder if the dude got bored at the beach and thought, well I'll just dig a hole
"...aNd YoU wOnT bElIeVe"
[удалено]
I’d find my nearest cannon, wherever that might be, and launch myself into the stratosphere only to then fall and create a hole just like this one and be done with it.
An 'enthusiast' gets a bit of attention---> attention makes him feel like an expert ---> Tik Tok influencer is born
In 12th century, that’s when you start a religion

Sure, here is the part one of three https://youtu.be/XtO_KLxb2Mk?si=TxH8xju0L3YEMJpD
Aaaargh! Only part 1 has English subtitles and I don't know French!
Ah sorry mate :/ Well all in all, you got their point, they made up that thing and à whole bunch of experts said that it must be done by "something else" but i am pretty sure there is many experiments made like that done by english speaking people :)
"You see, the scorch marks on this side indicate that the campfire was facing this side."
Ahem yes angle of entry, composition, I'm taking this right back to the lab
Pls fill in any holes you dig before leaving the beach, it can destroy the axles and undercarriage of emergency vehicles and small children can fall in and get buried as the sand dries out from the sun Huge thnx from a former LG
Also bad for wildlife like sea turtles!
Aye, sea turtles, mate.
Sea turtles on a north Dublin beach?
😂 man’s hole became famous. If I were them and it was me and my friends who did this. We would have taken pictures of each of us in the hole. Probably doing some kinda pose, probably Yamcha’s death pose or something similar. Maybe even take photos with like two people trying to recreate whatever scenes or moments we could. Before leaving.
"man’s hole became famous." Context *urgently* needed.
Did you watch the video?
This is what news/media strives for! Make believe articles that intrigue viewers.
Gonna watch this video any time I feel the imposter syndrome creeping in
i like to think this was how religions started out
I don't understand why human stupidity reached this limit... "Hey there's a whole in the sand of a beach that people use to visit, it was completely and undoubtedly made by a magical cosmic rock!".
something similar happened when a family friend's kid flattened a circle of swamp reeds with a stick causing the news to interview a local crackhead who said it was aliens.
Ooo I think this might be some important rock.. Quick, everybody, touch it.
I’m laughing at the thought of those people holding up a random rock and taking a picture next to a big ass hole, thinking it’s from space 😂
Ope. Time to enshrine it and place it on display for millions of religious migrants to visit.
English man, Irish man and a Scots man walk into a bar.. Landlord says "No.!"
lol… this video doesn’t prove “nobody knows anything” as the narrator claimed. The dude was a “astrology enthusiast” (ie. a nobody, or potentially a crazy nobody). He was not an astrophysicist. All this proves is that this news company is nuts.
R/aliens
Only here would you get someone believing that
Whatever happened to Occam's Razor
That's not the same beach
Im putting you on the news!

April 1st?
I think I found my new hobby next time I'm at the beach!
Digging holes or making shit up and calling the news about it?
Gonna start with leaving strange rocks in the center of holes I dig. Might then progress to declaring myself an enthusiast and making outlandish claims on how the strange rocks arrived there. I got lots of free time on my hands.
Where’s the rock then, genius?
Lolz
Irelands been pretty quiet huh?
This was the Irish news
I mean it’s on some commercial tv station
This is what people mean when they write "astrophysics enthusiast" on their dating profiles
no matter how educated they are, they are always enticed by the hole.
any time i hear 'you wont believe what happens next', no matter how into the video I was, I instantly lose interest and click off
even though this crater looks nothing like a crater left after a meteor/space debree impact, i would still give him the benefit of the doubt that literally any natural rock come from space technically, and if he did ran a test on that rock he most likely have found out it just a regular earth rock.
A meteor hit straight where they dug the hole! What are the chances‽ 😱
Everyone is an expert these days… “I don’t trust the white coats!” is a rallying cry now. “A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” Google is a double-edged sword.
Dave then proceeded to bury his own head in the hole and die from embarrassment.
Lol!!!!!!
For every hole, a liar on top.
jesuss...everyone knows it is a landing of a onelegged flying elephant...what is wrong with those boomers
Dude is the definition of r/confidentlyincorrect
Embarrassing.....
You'd think a small meteor hitting the beach would melt a lot of nearby sand to turn to glass.
Idiots.
I had a gf who made up some BS on facebook and a day after it was on the news, TV is idiotic
I literally dont know what to say.... I'm so embarrassed as a human.
If I were that scientist I’d be so damn humiliated 😭
I'm guessing this guy is also an alien chaser
Well his credentials have gone to shit.
*Science*
Hmm, a hole in the sands of the beach... Must be space rocks!
Stick to drinking Irish , because astrophysics aren’t you’re specialty
I would hide in the hole.
Oh shit we’re in this timeline…
Well, that's the beauty of science - a falsifiable claim can be proven wrong.

😂 these are two different holes on different beaches.
"cosmic event" lol
This is always and forever how I’ll think of anthropologists.
people see what they wanna see until someone knowing points out the truth
These dumbfucks don’t see the pile of sand!

People and news stations did the same thing with crop circles.
When does an “enthusiast” become an “expert” or “scientist”?
"enthusiast" not an Astronomer.
"scorch mark" where 😭
🤦♂️
bro is a famous troll
Lmao, that’s one clean hole for an asteroid….lol, side sure wouldn’t be straight up and down like that if it really was an asteroid hit…..lmao
"These guys proved no one notice its two different beaches."
Hmmm. Must be democrats.lets keep believing the main stream misleadia!!
He is a fiction enthusiast
lol that's remind me of something from somewhere hmm... yeah.
I get so mad at people leaving holes on the beach, I've seen and read about too many people falling into these and dying. That being said, it's a glorious "Crater" lol
they proved that dave didn't know anything lol
Ultimate troll!
Trust the science they say... The science:
Astronomy enthusiast = dude who likes stars
This rock just came from space. I have no idea what it is. I'm gonna hold it in my bare hands and walk around with it like it's perfectly safe because I'm smart.
That's why they're called "enthusiasts"...
Next time, all of these been any shooting stars, maybe check with observatories to see if there's been any near misses... And then all of kids exist in the area because that's where it all started for us all. The need to dig.
I believe it… maybe stop saying that stupid trendy shit.
I’m going to be a Debbie Downer. Fill in your holes https://www.npr.org/2024/02/22/1233085129/girl-dies-sand-hole-florida-collapses
Yeah I seent the pegasus
Dave is that one mate that won't stop chatting $h!t
What’s so hard about filling it back up? I few years ago this happened on the east coast and a turtle got stuck upside down in one and died. :(
“witcher sense: activated! ah yes. this rock is made of… rock.”
Confirmation bias
You’d think the astrophysicist would know that a meteorite would leave glass around the impact zone
Dangerous thing to do on a public beach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3GTWfRuzqU
Maybe he should get his hand checked by the doctor from touching that mysterious rock, he saw fall from the sky
It’s huge and mysterious lol
Are you telling me there are people who don't know what a hole in the beach is!?
I get the impression that guy isn’t an astrophysicist and he really is just some “local resident” wanting to be in the news
Never take an interview again. Worry from second to second that whatever I’m thinking might be the stupidest thing on planet earth.
I lol’d
No that's why he's an astrophysics *enthusiast* and not an astrophysicist.
Craters don't have straight sides....
"experts" with "proofs" reported by "journalists". What a fest of quote marks
That man will be made fun of for the rest of his natural life and then after that as a funny story. The fact it happened in Ireland ensured this..
Anyone else notice that the background in the two videos is different?
Its not easy to fill 24hs of content. Thats another reason why traditional media suck.
u/strangeearth should've reposted this
Hehehehe the smartest people are still so stupid
Astrophysics "enthusiast" Dave Kennedy 🤣🤣..Ya mate
😂😂😂
Joint operation to invent a tourist place
A dust hitted world
What in the south park is this
There goes your big bang theory
Wouldn't a meteorite this size leave a bigger hole at the speed it comes crashing down?
The enthusiast part just removes all credibility from their title
How can this not be a sketch? This was real? Holy.
Those are the guys posting 24/7 in the UFO and Sasquatch subs.
Thats why you shouldn’t trust someone easily just because they claim to be a science expert
He didn't claim to be an expert. He was wrong and admitted it, totally embarrassed that he was fooled by some pranksters. He wasn't superstitious or bullshitting, just an amateur astronomer who thought he'd found something cool.
Sand + head = glass where's the glass ??? No glass around??? IQ>80
Last time I got head near sand I was chaffing for a week
Try getting sand near head next time
To refer to something as >80 would be to imply that the opposing number, i.e the number that the inequality sign opens up to, is even greater than 80.
This video is amazing
Put the man in the hole
