Yeah, the most generally accepted theory is it was a stony meteorite that detonated at an altitude of 5 miles, with larger pieces simply being swallowed by swamp. They did find characteristic dust in tree sap.
Russians seem to still cling to the comet thing. Reality is there isn’t a sharp line between some asteroids and a dead comet.

Well, they are still analyzing the "Star Dust" samples.
Of course, if they do find something at the bottom of the lake...
I was half listening to a History Channel piece on Tunguska the other night. Another Soviet theory was an ET nuclear explosion. That was after the post-nuke Hiroshima/Nagasaki photos came out.
I think THC used the term "cosmic object" instead of going with meteor over "dead" comet towards the end of the show.

Crater could solve the 1908 mystery? Does that mean he has been found? Judge Crater, I mean.

illeterate, and possibly, a rearded mind. Chuckle - of all the words to misspell when calling someone names, "illeterate" = illiterate and "rearded" = retarded.
Forgot to hit the spell-checker?

Nah, Crater didn't solve that 1908 mystery, but the 1930
Crater mystery may be solved (its just the pesky little detail of finding the DNA evidence in some unmarked pauper's grave that's holding everything up).

Global warming attracts meteorites, which of course is Bush’s fault. (sarcasm)
