Scientific paper

Although tektites have been scientifically studied for the last 150 years, their origin still remains unknown. The presently recognized impact theory for their formation fails in many respects. The physical mechanisms that govern their formation, their characteristics, their distribution as a result of an impact, and their presence during only the last 35 million years have not been satisfactorily explained. In this paper, it is proposed that tektites were formed in a ring system circumscribing the Earth.
