Tunguska
At 7.00am on 30th June 1908 near the lower Tunguska River, Siberia, a large explosion
occurred. The explosion was so massive that it caused damage 400 miles away, and was
heard even further. Even the heat that came out from the explosion was felt hundreds of miles away.
For several nights all over northern Europe, the sky glowed enough to light the
street of London. At first it was assumed that a massive meteorite had collided
with the earth.
Given the remoteness of the area it was not until 1927 that an expedition was mounted to
investigate the crash area. The expedition could not locate any bits of meteorite
which puzzled them due the size that the meteorite would have to have been to create
such a large explosion.
Another puzzle for the expedition was the way the tress were felled in an outward
motion and that in the centre an area of trees were still standing, although
all their bark and branches have been destroyed.
After the Second World War and the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, photos of the
cities were compared with aerial photos of the Tunguska blast, and they were stunning
similar.
As a result of this various scientists speculated that a nuclear explosion had
taken place over the area, hence explaining the tree formation, and because no
nation possessed nuclear device the logical conclusion was that it was from an
exploding alien nuclear powered craft.
Other theories started to be banded around ranging from pinpoint black holes,
and antimatter particles.
Many of the witnesses to the original crash spoke of seeing and oval-shaped mass
moving across the sky, as well as seeing the object change course, and of
having a very low speed.
Most people today believe that what hit Tunguska was simply a meteorite, but the
alien craft theory still has a lot of credibility. As with most of these cases that occurred
long ago, we shall probably never know for sure.
