This means we had a half-mile-wide body made almost entirely from quartz crystal in orbit around the planet 780,000 years ago. I calculate the orbital position as being between the Antarctic and southern Australia. This peculiar body then exploded into pieces, with much of it transformed into liquid glass. The glass instantly cooled into spherules. As larger chunks of debris and smaller australite spheres moved into a decaying orbit, they heated. The smaller spheres began to melt and became oblate, exhibiting secondary melting before impact. These rained down almost directly below the point of initial explosion, arriving in southern Australia. Larger pieces of the parent body had not been liquified and transformed into glass. These pieces formed the bolide swarm and, as they broke up, the many other shapes of tektite, such as teardrops and dumbbells, exhibiting only a single period of melting. Those chunks that came closest to ground level before exploding gave rise to the strange Muong Nong layered tektite material in Southeast Asia.

In a peculiar twist to this story, there is some reason to suspect that fragments of the craft eventually ended up in one of the most important holy sites on our planet: Mecca. The most sacred place in the Islamic faith is the Kaaba at Mecca, and cemented into the eastern corner are seven or eight pieces of black stone. The surrounding silver casing strongly resembles a sacred yoni (vulva). It is known that these relics were already considered holy in pre-Islamic times. Correctly known as the Hajar al-Aswad (stone from paradise), the fragments of material included in the Kaaba have long been suspected to be tektites. Sadly, direct examination by scientists is not in the cards. The mythology of the black stone is a genesis story, which explains why they are in the eastern corner—this being the direction of the rising sun and therefore symbolic of birth. The pilgrim circles the Kaaba seven times, the number of readily visible stars in the Pleiades cluster. It is claimed that the stone was brought down to Earth by angels involved in the creation of the first humans, Adam and Eve. The material is said to have initially been pure white, only turning black after absorbing sins. The mothership was purportedly white before the explosion. Perhaps most intriguing of all is another telling of the mythology in which the black stone was once an angel placed in the Garden of Eden to watch over Adam. This reminds me once again of the black monolith standing amid the first humans in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The angel was punished for failing in its task by being transformed into a black jewel. God then gave the black stone the power of speech.19 Is it purely a coincidence that in Islamic tradition a strange black silicate material with cosmic origins has intelligence, can communicate, and is connected to human origins? Did an intelligence from within the stone tell someone this story?
