The firestorm from space
Apparently, a huge explosion in the sky may have put an end to early human civilization in North America.
According to New Scientist, a "wayward comet hurtled into Earth's atmosphere around 12,900 years ago," where it "fractured into pieces and exploded in giant fireballs." Not only did this scatter "nanodiamonds" across the northern hemisphere, it led to "immense wildfires [that] scorched North America in the aftermath, killing large populations of mammals and bringing an abrupt end to [early human] culture."
A scientist behind the theory states quite bluntly that the "entire continent was on fire."
The comet – assuming this theory is actually true – exploded somewhere over Ice Age Canada, "perhaps over Ontario or the Hudson Bay region." There would have been "a series of aerial explosions," causing huge sections of the North American ice-sheet to melt.
All of these together may have catalyzed a period now known as the Younger Dryas.
Etc. etc.
Elsewhere, New Scientist refers to it as a "firestorm from space."

“Jesus said: ‘I have seen Satan fall like lightning from the sky’.” (Luke 10:18
So we now have evidence of major impact events 800 TYA (multiple locations in Southeast Asia), 50 TYA (Barringer, Arizona), 12 TYA (Canada), 10 TYA (Rio Cuarto, Argentina), 4-5 TYA (Estonia, Madagascar, and Australia), 2-1.5 TYA (Sodom and Gomorrah), 540 AD (Arabia), 1300 (Ireland), somewhere between 1863 and 1891 (Wabar, Saudi Arabia), and of course, 1908 (Tunguska, Siberia). There may also have been a close call 3.5 TYA with a comet passing extraordinarily near the Earth, but this remains somewhat speculative. Looks like these events happen a lot more often than we like to think...
