There was no meteorite, it was a weather balloon that exploded... All is well! Do you see any asteroid passing near? No!

I will take you to airport and show you.

Some CCTV footage of the shockwave, gives you an idea of the force of the thing:

This meteor could help solve the 1947 (possible) meteor hit or UFO.

Is that photo from Tunguska? That occurred back in 1908 I think.Though I dont think any one got around to looking at the impact area until sometime in the 1930s.

I have heard the funny hair guy from History Channel claim that it was a UFO that was looking for Lake Bakal the largest body of fresh water on Earth seems some how the UFO exploded according to funny hair man.

I just recall watching a program on this impact decades ago. The study of this newly arrived rock from space my explain the impact years ago.

My daughters laugh like heck at this guy when he says, "Aliens."

Don't we all :)

I saw some show(maybe the same one) about Tanguska the location is very remote so they can only get to it during the short summer months and can only go once a year.they showed video of the researchers covered by mosquitoes.

Anyway after the Soviets had tested some nuclear weapons they noticed that the blast pattern was very similar to the blast pattern that an air burst nuclear bomb generates.After discovering this many felt that the object must have exploded in the air.Of course there is a theory that the whole thing was caused by a massive methane gas pocket that somehow ignited.

Yes, that is place I'm thinking of. Odd indeed.

He always reminds me of the movie 'There's something about Mary".

This is the film that I was thinking of pretty interesting.I think the series "Nova" might have dedicated an episode to Tunguska as well.

It says a few minutes into the show that the first researcher did not get to the site until 1928! I guess that the remoteness and WWI and the Russian Civil War might have hindered things a bit.

It does make you think though what would have happened if in fact it was a large meteorite that exploded in the air(I think it was personally) had it have hit the surface in one solid piece what would have happened.


EDIT: You are right AVG another meteorite did hit the USSR in 1947 that one was a solid hit according to the film.

To think that at one time he looked normal.

I haven't read many reports, but news reporting the sonic blast equaled an atomic bomb. I assume the blast was far enough from the city, but wondered what if it was over the city, what would the damage have been.
