Captain....Obvious.
So we’re back to asteroid now. First it was an asteroid then a comet. My favorite explanation as Atlantean nuclear weapon!
The epicenter of the blast has be excavated but only many years ago. Wonder if Lidar would show anything? The angle of
strike must have been low enough that it didn’t penetrate
the atmosphere.
Interesting incident.
“This causes several assumptions on the cause of events such as a massive leak of natural gas”
They didn’t even have pipelines back then.
Minorities, women, children, and owls effected most...
There was another event recently that hit Siberia. This one was caught on film multiple times. Even had one hit near me in Phoenix. There was a beautiful smoke trail visible that morning. It had me wondering what rocket base could have done that. As act of God was the furthest thing from my mind. It even made a noise that night which I attributed to noisy neighbours.
Hasn’t this always been the assumption??
Fragments of Chelyabinsk were discovered soon after the impact. But, in the case of the Tunguska event, there were no fragments.

Tunguska is hella hard to get to, especially back in the day when it was pack mules and such. No one got there “soon after”. And no one stays long when they get there.
Tunguska area has a lot of swamp and bog. Stuff gets swallowed up by swamp and bog.
Just because someone official and certified hasn’t found something yet don’t mean it aint there to be found.
Everyone knows it was caused by Nikola Tesla sending a message to Admiral Robert Peary at the North Pole. Old timey death rays weren’t that stable.
So what they are saying is that it was like a stone skipping off the surface of the water. Seems it went awfully deep, but then who really knows...who really cares...
I’m voting for a clathrate/hydrate explosion. They’re far more common than most people know.
I first read Tuskegee.
There was a very compelling film on TV some years back where the tree destruction pattern was reproduced by sliding an explosive charge down a wire above a simulated forest. When the right angle was found, the ‘butterfly’ pattern of felled trees was achieved including trees still standing directly under the point of explosion.
FWIW
Eye witness at the time saw the object change course several times AIR
It was caused by a crashed alien spacecraft.
(I heard that from a famous remote viewer. It’s a far more exciting explanation than a space rock)
Brian Williams covered it LIVE with his crystal radio just in time to get it on the 5PM news
He then began heroically to stand back up all those fallen trees in the vain hope that Paul Bunyan would arrive soon to lend a hand
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.
The following link is a google map view of Vanavara, the closest town to the impact/event: https://goo.gl/maps/jLKtXzzjM42zCJwe6
Lake Cheko, many think this is where some of the asteroid/comet may have actually impacted:

And the center of the blast:

Several years ago, I did a program on the event for my astronomy club and looked all this stuff up.
I never believed that it was a comet. Not enough damage, imho.
