I don't know much about this, but this large granite display was blown up by some strong explosive at 4 AM.

This is a controversial site (read up on it). Had a bunch of new world order gibberish in several languages on it. Erected in 1980.

The attached video is of the explosion and a car driving away. But GBI hasn't released any video of any person(s) at the site.

Look close at the video.....looks like a rocket or missile was launched (you can see the big flash to left side of monument). Some are saying it was a lightning strike.

Whatever did that was powerful! Blew 100+ lb chunks of granite several yds. Those stones are nearly 20 ft tall and 6 ft wide.

I can't see enough to determine what caused it. I don't think it was lightening, because that would cause the whole area to light up in a bright light.

They haven't released that portion of the video yet.

Doesn't fit their narrative? Not done editing it yet?

Hand of God?

Maybe whoever was in the car was just out there romancing and that commotion scared them off?

Agree with Paul, no due to a lightening strike. Interesting pressure wave to tear the sign from the fence.

Well, that was fast. Must have been some good evidence that needed gone quick.

Tannerite leaves an orange colored kind of smoke though

If tannerite was used then what was that large fireball to the left of the monument just b4 it exploded?

Wasn't a .223 being fired.

I've seen fireballs like that when blasting stumps and a root would wrap around the hot and ground wires of the near by high line. In the first split second I can see rubble dust flying on the opposite side of the monument and the flash is still in the air on the left.
Just guessing????

Notice that flash area is lit up well before the boom ... and remains there after the boom .... unchanged.
The flash from the explosive is behind the column, as you can clearly see the rubble blown towards the camera.
What looks like a flash is a bright momentary reflection from the blast reflecting off of whatever that lighted thing is.
A big window ?? street lamp ? ... something already lit up.
Looks to me.

the video shows a silver car with sun roof 10 seconds post exposition, I assume that is a vehicle of interest


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Hard to get in in the whole pic, but you can see the stones to the right and a large stadium type light on a pole to the left.
The light is on during the boom, and the flash of light from the bomb reflects off of the glass lens and the aluminum reflector in the light fixture.
Have to study the angles more to verify, but that's my guess.
