The hole in the ice looked too round for my liking.
If it had been hit then the meteorite would come at an angle and the debris would be pushed to 1 side?
Just my 2 cents worth!!

What I'm saying is that by the time it hit the Ice, it was a lot lighter than when it entered the Atmosphere.

so people believe a 24 foot circumference airplane can fit into a 16 foot hole in the pentagon... but that a rock a few feet wide cant fit into a hole 10 foot wide??? (sorry had to throw this in there)

I agree, I thought it was a perfect round hole in the ice. Too perfect! Also I noted that a person was standing around that hole and thought to myself wouldn't the area around it be unstable??

all jokes aside. what we see if we estimate he hight of the person to the right of the picture as 6 foot. then we have a hole thats not a perfect circle roughly 14-20 foot across. on the right side edge we can see 2 pieces of ice that are free floating or stuck to the side o the hole that if removed destroys the image of a "perfect circle" . as for the perfect circle theory your looking at the hole taken from a picture from a low angle, as such the dimensions will be difficult to judge without further pictures.
further evidence is that ice has been blown out of the hole which is possible of a high speed object hitting the ice and water underneath creating a vacum briefly that rushed back in to fill that void thus blowing ice outwards explosively. we can not tell at this point if its a strait down impact or angular. but it seems the nearer side has a thicker amount of ice than the futher.. but that can be an illusion due to the way the picture is taken.edit on 17-2-2013 by McTurbo because: (no reason given)

Perhaps you could better explain what you are trying to say.
Even if an object comes in on an angle, when it strikes the water/ice it will propagate in a circular manner.
The initial impact with the ice, will break a hole and weaken the surrounding ice, then when the water is struck that water will push up on the ice making a circular hole. Granted not likely that large.
(I'm surprised how long it took to find a video of someone throwing/dropping a rock onto a frozen lake that broke through.. Doesn't anyone try this lol.)
This rock is pretty small, and isn't moving very fast obviously. How ever it does lead me to question the Russian Images. That would have to have been a large chunk falling pretty quick to make a hole like that on ice thick enough to walk out to the hole.
My money is on, not the case.
I would think that what we see here is a case of the media using what ever image it wants to sell it's story, rather than an actual impact mark.
A rock breaking through the ice could still make a round hole as seen in the above video.
How ever I do doubt the legitimacy of this image.

I'm saying it may not. And the fact that no fragments have been found on the lake bed would be a strong indication of that. It would have to be a large fragment to create a hole that size.
So what are you saying Phage, that the hole in the ice has nothing to do with the fragments that may have fallen to earth?

notice them recovering fragments from the ice around the hole. would you expect a bunch of small pebbles to make a hole like that? there had to be something more substantial to do that than just small rocks and if it made a relatively symmetrical hole it should be directly under it. how deep is that spot in the lake? what is the bottom made of?
