A top secret Soviet expedition in the 1970s found the black box -- the alien captain's last words, translated using the alien machinery, were, "I said Bud Light".

On the morning of 30 June 1908, a large explosion occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Yeniseysk Governorate (now Krasnoyarsk Krai), Russia. That event is known as the Tunguska event that leveled trees across more than 2,000 square kilometers.
It is classified as an impact event, even though no impact crater has been found. Due to the remoteness of the site and the limited instrumentation available at the time of the event, modern scientific interpretations of its cause and magnitude have relied chiefly on damage assessments, and geological studies conducted many years after the fact.
The most likely cause is an airburst asteroid strike in which the asteroid explodes in the atmosphere, similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor strike in 2013. Given the size of the impact region, it's estimated that the original asteroid was nearly 70 meters across. This would explain why no large impact crater has been found.
Fragments of Chelyabinsk were discovered soon after the impact. But, in the case of the Tunguska event, there were no fragments. This causes several assumptions on the cause of events such as a massive leak of natural gas, or even the explosion of an alien spacecraft.
A new study shedding light on the event again, suggests that there are no fragments because the asteroid didn't fragment after all. Instead, it glanced off Earth's atmosphere.

Yup, but it turned out that Paul Bunyan was still working on the Sahara Forest.
"Don't you mean the Sahara Desert?"
Sure, now!
“Captain....Obvious.”

Yup, this has been pretty much acknowledged for a very long time.
Comedy is

:^) I thought a second rimshot would be overkill. ;^)
This glancing blow hypothesis is indeed brand spankin' new, and not obvious at all.
LOL!
Crashed UFO — because doesn’t it sound very likely to you that advanced intelligent beings would travel many light years to our solar system then lose control of their craft while flying over uninhabited Siberia? It makes perfect sense to me. /s
All I know is that upon Tesla’s death, his notebooks were confiscated by the US government and are still classified to this day. Some theorized that he even dabbled in time travel.
I knew a lady (she passed away a few years ago) who went there with the Holocene Impact Exploration Group (look them up). Very rugged and swampy indeed.

Lake Cheko, many think this is where some of the asteroid/comet may have actually impacted:

Several years ago, I did a program on the event for my astronomy club and looked all this stuff up.

What about a *really exciting* space rock?!? ;^).
Why not?
I'm not an advocate of the idea, but machines break, and as Scotty said, the more they overthink the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain.
Thanks, useful information.
For that matter, why isn't it called asstipation?
I’m with you. The possibilities are endless. Inquiring minds want to know. And so do nosy people. I can claim the last two.
This looks like a novel that may be of interest:

The Margaret Cheney bio is excellent. Years after the event, Tesla told a friend, no one will ever know what I lost when I lost my lab (it caught fire and burned to ashes). Of course, he did his best work during the 19th century, and by the 20s he was an outdated old nutjob, kinda sad really.
