The Tunguska Event Of 1908

[Mystic Wanderer]

A large explosion occurred one morning near the Stony Tunguska River, in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia. The date was June 30th, 1908.

The explosion over the sparsely populated Eastern Siberian Taiga flattened 2,000 km2 (770 sq mi) of forest and caused no known casualties. The cause of the explosion is generally thought to have been a meteor. It is classified as an impact event, even though no impact crater has been found; the meteor is thought to have burst in mid-air at an altitude of 5 to 10 kilometres (3 to 6 miles) rather than hit the surface of the Earth.[3] Different studies have yielded varying estimates of the superbolide's size, on the order of 60 to 190 metres (200 to 620 feet), depending on whether the meteor was a comet or a denser asteroid.[4] It is considered the largest impact event on Earth in recorded history.

Below is a picture of how the area was impacted after the blast from the unknown object.



Some people think this was an asteroid air burst event, while others think it was a dirty snowball comet that vaporized once it entered earth's atmosphere, due to no crater being found.

The video below talks about this:



However, after many years of believing a comet was responsible for one of the strongest explosions ever on Earth, the Russian military confirmed the Tunguska Event in 1908 was the explosion of an alien UFO in mid air.

1908!!! That is long before our military had the UFO craft crash at Roswell, NM.
Could this offer evidence that we have had REAL alien space craft out there?

Very, Very, Very Cool video's.
This is definitely a Mystery, I would have to agree, a UFO is much more Believable.
The power core exploding.

There's another theory to this.
Have you heard about the UFO that Sacrificed itself for Earth Theory?

 Russian scientist claims that aliens downed the Tunguska meteorite 101 years ago to protect our planet from devastation. Yuri Lavbin says he found unusual quartz crystals at the site of the massive Siberian explosion. Ten crystals have holes in them, placed so the stones can be united in a chain, and other have drawings on them. “We don’t have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals,” said Lavbin. “We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space.”

These Crystals here:

The blast flattened an estimated 60 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers, but no crater or “smoking gun” meteorite has ever been found. Different studies have yielded varying estimates of the object’s size, but there is general agreement that it was a few tens of meters across.


A couple of expeditions have gone to the remote site of the crash. Lavbin says that one expedition located the unusual crystals.
While I’m not a chemist, I couldn’t find any information on “ferrum silicate.” Seemingly, it doesn’t exist.


This isn’t the first time a UFO has been claimed to associated with the Tunguska event. Another report from 2004 said a scientific expedition to the site found blocks of an extraterrestrial technical device, and one 50-kilogram piece of the stone was brought to the city of Krasnoyarsk to be studied and analyzed. No subsequent reports or analysis could be located during an internet search.

Other claims of exploding alien spaceships or alien weapons detonating to “save the Earth from an imminent threat” appear to originate from a science fiction story “A Visitor From Outer Space” written by Soviet engineer Alexander Kazantsev in 1946, in which a nuclear-powered Martian spaceship, seeking fresh water from a lake blew up in mid-air. This story was was said to be inspired by Kazantsev’s visit to Hiroshima in late 1945.

Many events in Kazantsev’s tale were subsequently confused with the actual occurrences at Tunguska. A “reveal-all” book was published in 1976 (The Fire Came By) but was written by two television drama critics — so much for a scientific background. In 1998 the television series The Secret KGB UFO Files was broadcast on Turner Network Television, and referred to the Tunguska event as “the Russian Roswell” and claimed that crashed UFO debris had been recovered from the site.
However, not one proponent of the Tunguska/UFO hypothesis have ever been able to provide any significant evidence for their claims.
Lavbin says the stones, when put together form a map, and might be part of a navigational system of a spaceship.
But Lavbin says what proves his hypothesis is a strange portrait of a strange person on one of the stones.

Just tossing this out there.

No, I hadn't seen this.  Thanks for the link. :thumbsup:

OK I have a Theory. How about those Metal Domes or what they call a cauldron, in the Valley of Death or actually, the northwestern Yakutia in Siberia, in the basin of the Upper Viliuy River.

Those weapons supposedly left behind to fight off UFO's. maybe they Vaporized a UFO and we call that, Tunguska Meteor Event!
 
Here's anther video.

Here is a Great article, I'll provide a Link:  LINK
Just a suggestion, I'm not trying to derail your thread,,,, But we could think about this and ask, Why Hasn't Anyone Been Back To Investigate These machines,,,, Or Have They? :thinking:

Ooooh, some cool stuff in here! I need a nap, but will be back later to watch the vids!

Paper from Cornell University.



Reconstruction of the Tunguska Event of 1908: Neither an Asteroid, Nor a Comet Core

Having reconstructed the Tunguska event with due attention to all the evidence, we have to conclude that it could not have been an asteroid or a comet core. There seems to exist in space another type of dangerous space objects, whose nature still remains unknown.

Very, very interesting topic once again, Mystic !!
