Google Earth Impact Crater — here’s mine!

So I saw this post on Boing­Bo­ing about an art­icle describ­ing using Google Earth to dis­cover ancient impact craters — and remembered a post I made on a pre­vi­ous blog (now lost to his­tory) about doing just that with Google Maps (satel­lite view).

So, here’s where this image was made in GE:

The loc­a­tion is at:
N 59 08 12.29
W 115 12 40.07

Which puts it in the north­w­est corner of Alberta.

I checked the Uni­ver­sity of Brun­swick Earth Impact Data­base — nada.

…so, is it real, or some­thing else?
