TUNGUSKA METEORITE: What’s There Now? What Happened in Tunguska Event?

Just imagine how history would have changed if that thing had exploded over a major city instead of in the middle of nowhere.

[@circusshizshow]

Had it hit the ground, even there, it would have been a nuclear winter that would have killed God knows how many millions and much vegetation world wide.

[@PoorMansChemist]

@@circusshizshow Not necessarily. It wasn't all that big. It would probably have been more like the volcanic winter after the explosion of Tambora. But it would largely depend on where it landed and how much sulfate and super fine particulates it ejected into into atmosphere. Some people would have died for sure but it wouldn't have been civilization ending. Might have been country ending if the country was fairly small. Luxembourg would be proper fucked but the US or Russia not so much. Even the 6ish mile wide asteroid asteroid that killed the dinosaurs didn't actually kill the dinosaurs. It was merely a secondary contributor. The million year long flood basalt eruptions in India is what really did them in.

I witnessed a meteorite break up over overhead near Rockhampton, in Central Queensland Australia around 2004. The ironic thing is, both my partner and I were keen photographers and were both adjusting our camera settings when this happened. I was looking down at my camera screen when it happened, and she was doing the same. The first thing I noticed was that the ground was lighting up like daylight. It was weird, and it took a full second before I actually looked up. I saw a huge fireball and as I was looking up, it split into three or four fragments. The whole event lastest perhaps three seconds. Not enough time to point my camera to the sky, and certainly not enough time to adjust my camera settings to capture it. However, I will never forget it. I still have a clear memory of the breakup and I still remember the sound. A crackling, static-like sound. I feel privileged to have witnessed something most humans will never see in their lifetime, because most of us live under a roof, and most of us never 'look up' when we are outside.

[@randompotato2474]

I got goosebumps imagining that. What an experience!

[@Neon_Caveman]

I saw one in Kansas in about 2003, it went behind thick clouds but was clearly visible through them, I could see small fragments breaking off and burning out, it went across the whole sky and thus had to have been visible for seven or nine seconds in total. One of those moments I will never forget.

[@Michael-rg7mx]

The single explosion of Mt St Helen's sounded like 20. It rebounded off of different mountains and ranges so it appeared to move and center in a different direction than it actually was.

[@mycroft_moriarty]

Atmospheric entry from orbit of *anything* means not just supersonic but *hypersonic* velocities. The Space Shuttle routinely endured speeds well above the hypersonic threshold, and ballistic missiles are also hypersonic for part of their flight paths. At those speeds, there isn't just a single "boom" but several which would be spaced out at relatively consistent intervals, and something moving as fast as whatever hit, be it metallic/rock, comet-like or whatever, probably was going would create even more than that! The plasma elements involved are also a part of moving at those insane speeds though air, as the frictional heating super-heats the surrounding air to a plasma state. If enough plasma were generated by a relatively shallow trajectory, which tracks with the air burst aspects of meteor theories, it would also explain the persistent and bizarre looking color changes in the sky afterwards as some of the plasma could be shed and persist for a time. This kind of event is *loud* and while sudden, hardly brief. The number and kind of sounds line up right for an airburst of an orbital entry of some kind of cosmic material. As strange as it all seems, there are perfectly reasonable explanations for everything I've heard from the eye-witness statements.

[@medea27]

Awesome video! 👏 I've been interested in Tunguska for decades & tried to keep up with any scientific research on it, but unfortunately most of the Russian studies translated into English have focussed on the crazy UFO guy. So it was brilliant to hear so many of the witness testimonies & how perfectly they match a meteorite encounter... streak of light so bright it was like the middle of the day, a series of concussions that knocked people off their feet & a deafening boom. Just like Chelyabinsk in 2013. ☄️ There have been several studies outside Russia on the dynamics & effects of an actual meteor strike _versus_ a blast wave from a disintegrating body. They have some extremely cool footage & computer simulations showing how the atmosphere, type of body & trajectory can change the expected outcome on the ground... some looked specifically at Tunguska alongside another possible 'airburst' event in the Egyptian desert which produced a particular type of yellow-green glass the Pharaohs used in their jewellery (called Egyptian or Libyan desert glass). Truly fascinating stuff! 👌

[@silentbliss7666]

Why are UFO people often labeled as "crazy"?

[@MakerInMotion]

@@silentbliss7666 There is a tendency to go overboard in the UFO community. Embracing every baseless theory and wildly speculating. Tunguska is a good litmus test. If you insist despite all the evidence that it was aliens, you're part of why people throw around the label of "crazy". I wouldn't call it crazy I would say they want it to be true so badly that they'll ignore anything counter to it. It's being too invested emotionally. I'm not even a disbeliever. I believe the Nimitz carrier group and some of its pilots encountered alien technology off the coast of San Diego in 2004. But Tunguska was a damn meteorite.

[@medea27]

@@silentbliss7666 I don't label every person who believes in UFO's 'crazy'.... just the ones who (like the guy mentioned here) go out of their way to discount any realistic scientific explanation for the phenomenon. There's a difference between saying something is an "Unidentified Flying Object" and saying "it's an alien spaceship".... the former is admitting that you don't know what it is and you're open to the possibilities. An unidentified flying object could be a de-orbiting piece of space debris, a meteor, a weather phenomenon or an optical illusion. Jumping to the conclusion that it "must be aliens!" just because you don't understand it is bad enough, but once you invent a whole backstory about aliens who (despite having the technology to cross time & space) keep crashing into the Earth for some reason?! You're either crazy or a conman - possibly both.

[@ks5553]

This is a well done and very interesting video, but I don't think you can actually call it a mystery anymore. It's widely accepted by scientists that it was in fact a piece of the Taurid meteor stream, which is the remnant of comet Encki. We pass through it 2x a year, in October and in June. And it peaks (meaning the densest part or middle of the stream) is on June 30th. Also there IS a crater, though not an "impact" crater. It's a depression, sort of shaped like a butterfly, part of which is that small lake that you showed several times. It is the result of the rock.. (or more specifically 'comet fragment' composed of rock/iron/ice, both water-ice and other types of ice like methane and acetylene/and trace elements of iridium and other rare metals) exploding 12 miles above the surface. It's called an air-bolide and they happen far more frequently than most people think, although most are much smaller and don't have the devastating impact Tunguska did. It was about 60 meters in size. This is all well known stuff. There are plenty of other studies you don't mention in the video but they have done extensive research on it. Although it would be much cooler if it was aliens.

In wiki I read a different report The crater has been rejected.. the lake covering it has existed for 280 years So an explosion at a height of 5 km But no extraterrestrial material enough to support the thesis...

In 1908 an lady quite young then, told a story before she died in her 80's. She sat watching a fire coming to earth in space, it was a Cylinder shape with fire at one end. The Cylindrical object was in view for 15 minutes before the big explosion. It came into earth's atmosphere at an entry curve, but changed trajectory to a more up-ward flight. But seemed to be in trouble and on fire. It didn't make the emergency landing and there was a great blinding explosion, as the young lady held her hands covering her closed eye, she could still see the blood vessels and bones in her hand. At that moment when the fire seemed to hit the ground, another object was observed leaving the fire explosion and going back out through the clouds. (Was this an escape capsule?). Everyone was knocked from their feet to a great distance, some people were badly damaged.

A man, his wife and I took shelter inside the cabin after we experienced what seemed like nuclear snow. I remember the cloud looking like a very big mushroom cloud. I also remember we had 2-3 ram like animals that died. In all of the reports that I've read, none of them mentioned the nuclear snow.

The oldest of my uncles was born (1898?) He was about 10 years old and was working in their field on a hot day that was on or near June 30, 1908. They lived in an area called Green Pond. This was near Centerville, which was near Anderson, SC. He noticed two shadows on the ground and looked up to see two sources of light, one of which was the sun. The other moved across the sky and left a trail that he said looked like the jet trails he saw much later in his life. It was not the sort of thing that people would believe, so he mostly kept it to himself; well, until he read about the expedition and story about 1930. In a very poor large family, where the others had to leave school for farm work, he managed to get a degree at Clemson University and was hired by the school to advise farmers on soil preservation and rejuvenation. I remember that his house was filled with stacks of science and nature magazines and informed me of some of the more recent findings in science. I don't see him as one to fabricate such. Since he saw this in a hot afternoon, it would not likely be an object passing by and immediately heading to Siberia. He couldn't be sure of the exact date, but it was very close to July 4th in that he needed to complete a task to see the activities in Centerville.

[@michaelleonard5029]

The descriptions from the witnesses sound exactly like what was shown and recorded during the Chelyabinsk meteor event in 2013. The meteor entered the atmosphere causing a sonic boom (artillery), exploded into multiple fragments of various sizes each one generating it's own sonic boom and explosion. The blast wave and shock from these were widespread and cause damage. I get the fun of all the theories but this one seems pretty clear cut. The Tunguska meteor was just bigger and probably exploded higher.

[@rtqii]

It has been years since I looked into this event... If my memory is correct, they find tiny black diamonds in the top layers of soil in the area where the event happened. This led some investigators to state it was a "carbonaceous chondrite" that entered the atmosphere and detonated.

[@76rjackson]

Fragmentation of the main bolide would appear as if it were changing direction but would, in fact, be like a fireworks rocket bursting somewhere along it's trajectory. The fragments appear to change direction.

[@ryankenealy4837]

I’m so obsessed and curious as to what this event would’ve looked like from various distances away. I suppose from certain distances, it would’ve looked similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor, but larger and more powerful. From the information I’ve gathered, scientists used to think that Tunguska sized events happen once or twice every thousand years or so. Some scientists now believe Tunguska sized events happen once or twice a century, with bigger objects such as Apophis, happening once or twice every thousand years or so… Apophis would probably destroy a land area roughly the size of Texas.

Fascinating stuff. Admittedly, I leaned towards the 'nuclear spaceship' hypothesis early on. Kulik's investigation included eyewitness accounts of how the object behaved and, ALLEGEDLY, "it" came in roughly south to north, executed a sharp turn to the east, and then doubled back to the west before detonation. A pretty odd performance for a free-falling natural object, to be sure. This and the allegedly 'nuclear' characteristics of the blast was what originally sold me. But, with thought, I now think it possible that the directions given in these accounts were in error and that the object was not acting as oddly as believed. Which still leaves the question of what was it, really? A body of mixed ice and iron, travelling at especially high velocity seems the most plausible to me. ... And, as some sources claim, if the Tunguska object arrived an hour or so earlier, it may have impacted the city of Saint Petersburg.

The bits of a broken meteor, we know, do not impact all in the same place…the pieces would have hit multiple places, so even if they were close enough to still be heard, the sounds would have come from different places. No witness stated that. None of the theories consider all the observations of witnesses, seemingly ignoring any that might counter their theory. A meteor doesn’t look like they sky splitting open. It looks like an object glowing or on fire in the sky. I think the best theory is a CME…1908, the year of this event, was a during a solar cycle maximum. A CME is associated with increased magnetic field activity, which causes the observed sky phenomena. An huge electrical discharge, part of the CME, does have explosive force. My personal theory on thunder could explain the event, too: electricity separates water into oxygen and hydrogen, so lightening in humid air or rain or snow splits the water into the gases, then causes the gases to explode. A CME can also throw out a solid core, which would explain the traces of non earth elements. I would search the notes of all the observatories for the week of the event.

Take this story with a grain of salt. The great Nikola Tesla was experimented with a particle beam accelerator that used the Earth's electromagnetic energy to power it. Nikola Tesla sold his death ray to the Americans. Nikola Tesla did not know the exact power of the particle beam when he fired it into the Tunguska Region of Russia. Nikola Tesla created the radio and sold it to the US Army. Tesla created the first remote control. Many people still don't know the building that Tesla lived in in New York City. Was built an electrically wired and still stands to this day the building created and drew more electrical current than the entire city of New York. Underground tunnels were dug under the hotel meeting to the spot where the Philadelphia Project was launched under the approval of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Tesla and Einstein were able to make an entire US destroyer disappear in front of the president so that they can continue on their experiments.

That would make for a great movie!

I heard this event was somehow related to the Wardencliff Tower that Nicola Tesla had built new New York.

You can find the Tunguska witness statements online. Read them and then watch the footage of the Chelyabinsk superbolide. The descriptions are so similar you'd think they were talking about the same event. Probably could have left out the whole "descent module" bit. It's more likely to be a hermit who parked his yurt near a river. Good video, otherwise.

[@raymondwilliams2609]

Heard it all before, many times. Thanks anyway.....

[@Notme195]

Alright I confess I did it. I'm sorry about that but I was on a roll that day. I just couldn't stop myself in my younger days. I won't do it again.

[@patty4349]

I thought the alien ship crash or emergency landing story was the dumbest but no, he upped his game with the message tube explanation....

[@haroldgardiner1966]

Is it possible that most of whatever approached Earth that time, just missed, but still caused excessive destruction, although it sort if slig-shotted back into space like we heard of in Star Trek movies, and how Scientists gain advantage in reaching speeds to hasten reacting far off places today!?

Imagine how many cabins the trees would have provided at that time

[@paulmurgatroyd6372]

A meteorite hitting the middle of nowhere is hardly a catastrophe is it.

[@marioncampbell2589]

The reindeer seem to disagree.

[@pauldaystar]

Sad, You Should Focus on First Hand Reports, Native People Who were There,...

[@Indigo4711]

It always amuses me that whenever people try to report on this event that they don't complete their research before posting. The "mystery" had already been explained in the NEXUS magazine nearly twenty years ago by Dr Valery Uvarov using Eyewitness reports from the locals in the Taiga.

[@ebrassy]

what i think what happened then is a fact that is certain the three inerplanets mercury venus and the moon aligned in the direction of the sun opposite the earth you can check this on an app solarsystemscope.This is also not an isolated event. This also happened in Welsh Roswell in the UK but on a smaller scale and then the planets were also aligned with Venus and the Moon. Another fact is if you want to bring two magnets together when the poles are facing each other then that is not possible you have a resistor and this is also energy in itself since planets also have poles the energy is also on a larger scale this is what i think what happened

[@sirandrelefaedelinoge]

Why "so-called radiation burns"..? They either are, or they aren't...

[@juhopuhakka2351]

They are!

[@silentbliss7666]

I believe he quoted this from one of the reports for his research

[@medea27]

Like Silent Bliss said - these are quotes from reports translated from Russian to English. Like many languages, Russian & English don't always have directly matching words & phrases so you get the occasional "clunky" translation. _"So-called"_ can have two different meanings in English... one implying it's "alleged" or "falsely termed" (eg. your _so-called_ best friend)... but a _literal_ translation of "so-called" is also _"commonly called/it is called."_ So in Russian it probably says the equivalent of "apparent/possible/likely radiation burns" - one of the quirks of translating between very differently structured languages.
