Did the DINOSAURS beat man on the MOON? The bones of giant reptiles were launched into space when the extinct asteroid exploded against Earth 66 million years ago, according to scientists
- An excerpt from Peter Brannen’s “The End of the World” was shared on Twitter
- Describe the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs 66 million years ago
- The asteroid “drilled a vacuum hole from outer space into the atmosphere”
- The debris was ejected from the impact mixing with dinosaur bones
- With that in mind, scientists say there are probably bones on the moon
Although Neil Armstrong was the first human to step on the moon in 1967, it is possible that dinosaurs defeated him 66 million years earlier, or at least pieces of prehistoric creatures.
The claim comes from Peter Brannen’s 2017 book, “The End of the World,” which was recently fragmented on Twitter by blogger Matt Austin.
A fragment describes the violent asteroid when it pulled a “vacuum hole from outer space into the atmosphere.”
This sent garbage flying into orbit and “dinosaur pieces” may have been mixed with the huge volume of earth it ejected into space, which settled on the moon.

Peter Brannen’s 2017 book, “The End of the World,” suggests that the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs threw debris into space carrying dinosaur bones, all set on the moon.
The catastrophic asteroid crashed into what experts say had a “deadliest angle” when it entered the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.
Brannen, an award-winning science journalist, writes that the asteroid was larger than Everest and crashed into the atmosphere 20 times faster than a full-speed bullet.
“This is so fast that it would have covered the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 to the ground in 0.3 seconds,” the book says.
The book includes comments from geophysicist Mario Rebolledo at the Research Center who told Brannen, “The pressure from the front of the asteroid in the atmosphere began digging the crater before it even got there.”
A fragment describes the violent asteroid as it pulls a “vacuum hole from outer space into the atmosphere.” This sent garbage flying into orbit and “dinosaur pieces” may have been mixed with the huge volume of earth it ejected into space, which settled on the moon.
Then, when the meteorite hit ground zero, it was completely intact. It was so massive that the atmosphere didn’t even scratch. “
The book says the scene that was witnessed 66 million years ago was nowhere near what we see in Hollywood movies that usually show a glowing ball of fire flowing across the sky.
“When the asteroid hit the earth, in the sky above, where there should have been air, the rock had drilled a vacuum hole from outer space into the atmosphere,” Brannen explains.
“When the sky rushed to close that hole, huge volumes of earth were ejected into orbit and beyond, all within a second or two of the impact.”
“So there are probably bits of dinosaur bone on the moon,” Brannen asks.
And Rebolledo replies, “Yes, probably.”
Although the book was published in 2017, blogger Matt Austin recently fragmented excerpts on Twitter
While there is no evidence to support claims in “The End of the World,” scientists have been able to gather the events that unfolded.
The asteroid left a 120-kilometer-wide crater in the disaster area, vaporizing rock and sending billions of tons of sulfur and carbon dioxide to prehistoric skies.
All living things located hundreds of miles from the site of the impact would have been cremated in a matter of minutes.
Meanwhile, the cloud of dust generated by the impact would have blocked the sun, probably causing a “nuclear winter” and seeing temperatures melt, acid rain falling from the sky and 75 percent of living species finished.
“It would have looked like the land beneath your feet had become a ship in the middle of the ocean,” Earth and space science professor Mark Richards told the University of Washington.
“Then the rocks would have bombarded you from a boiling sky that was beginning to have a murky glow. It would have seemed like the end of the world.”
