Independent scientists have identified many problems with the controversial Sodom & Gomorrah paper #TEHburst by Bunch et al (2021), not least of which is the digital image tampering now called #pebblegate, which the Comet Research Group (CRG) has partially acknowledged. 
Other problems: 1) Samples may have been collected by inexperienced amateur volunteers, 2) Sponsoring orgs explicitly reject the scientific method, 3) Contamination problems have been identified in the group’s laboratory, and 4) Ongoing lack of transparency plagues the CRG.
Before addressing these four problems, I will highlight three key members of the Bunch et al (2021) Sodom & Gomorrah team: Steven Collins (@DrStevenCollins), Phillip Silvia (@TeHEP_TSU), and Allen West (his Comet Research Group spokesman on Twitter is @CosmicTusk).
I thought it would be a good idea to leave everyone with a list of videos to watch while waiting for my next thread. Some of them are available online, but here's my IMDB page if you want to look for them yourself. I'll post links to the ones I can find. imdb.com/name/nm2334005/
I had hoped to be able to share a link to Siberian Apocalypse (2008), the Discovery Channel production that I wrote several threads about. Here's the IMDB link to it. Maybe there's a way order or stream it on a subscription service. imdb.com/title/tt132453…
I just found this review of Siberian Apocalypse, which is a pretty good summary. stephendsullivan.blogspot.com/2008/11/invest…
My threads on Sodom airburst paper in Nature's

@SciReports The vast majority of comments by archeologists, physicists, geologists, astronomers, & impact experts have been positive. I'm hoping to hear from coauthors of the #TEHburst paper. Maybe none are on twitter or don’t feel the need to answer q's from scientists about their paper.
Several coauthors of the #TEHburst paper list their affiliation as “Comet Research Group”. Check out their website. Of the 21 #TEHburst coauthors, 16 are members of the Comet Research Group. cometresearchgroup.org/scientists-mem…
I now turn my attention to the Younger Dryas Boundary Strike #YDBS hypothesis. It’s been called the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis #YDIH by many, but that’s a misnomer because Team Comet has never been able to decide if was an impact or an airburst. #TEHburst
The #YDBS is relevant to the #TEHburst hypothesis because it was conceived and is led by the same team of researchers using the same methods and making the same mistakes. The best segue from my last thread is to discuss a paper by my friend, Gunther Kletetschka.
#YDBS posits that the N American megabeasts of the last ice were abruptly wiped out by an asteroid, comet, swarm of asteroids, or swarm of comets (impacts or airbursts) about 12,800 years ago. It also put an end to the Clovis Culture. It has been thoroughly & repeatedly debunked.
As I continue my quest to find the paper “Kletetschka, G., Radana, K. & Hakan, U. Evidence of shock-generated plasma’s demagnetization in the shock-exposed rocks. Sci. Rep. (2021)” that was cited by #TEHbust, the #TallElHammam #BiblicalArchaeology paper, I'll discuss #Tunguska.
The Sodom & Gomorrah airburst team cited this in support of their claim that a Tunguska-like airburst can generate shocked quartz, even though—according to experts on shocked quartz—none has ever been found that is associated with #Tunguska. Shocked quartz looks like this.
I met the lead author, Gunther Kletetschka, in Russia in 2008 and we enjoyed time together doing field work in the destruction zone of the 1908 #Tunguska airburst. It was for a Discovery Channel documentary shoot on June 30, 2008: the 100th anniversary of #AsteroidDay
