The so-called 'Tunguska Event' refers to a major explosion that occurred on 30 June 1908 in the Tunguska region of Siberia, causing the destruction of over 2000 km2 of taiga, globally detected pressure and seismic waves, and bright luminescence in the night skies of Europe and Central Asia,...
In 1908, thunderous blasts and blazing fires from the sky descended upon the desolate Tunguska territory of Siberia. The explosion knocked down an area of forest larger than London and was powerful enough to obliterate Manhattan. The mysterious nature of the event has prompted a wide array of sp...
Russia had its own issues at the time, and getting to the middle of nowhere Siberia wasn’t easy. It wasn’t until 13 years after the event, that the first researcher bothered to visit. A geologist named Leonid Kulik visited the region in 1921. During this trip, he didn’t get to th...
Tunguska event site. Flattened trees at the site of the Tunguska event. This is how the site was found when scientists reached it in 1927. The Tunguska event was a massive explosion that took place at 07:17 on 30 June 1908, in Siberia, Russia. A fireball was observed low in the sky...
We examine the possibility that the 1908 Tunguska explosion in Siberia was the result of the collision of a mirror matter space body with the Earth. We point out that if the catastrophic event and many other similar smaller events are manifestations of the mirror world then these impact sites ...
In 1908, the Tunguska Event took place in Russia as an asteroid exploded above Siberia, leaving 800 square miles of scorched or blown-down trees. This day in history -- June 30 Impacts as powerful as the famous Tunguska event of 1908, which was comparable to a 10-million-ton blast, shou...
In June 1908 a massive air burst of a meteor or comet (10-15 megatons TNT – 1000 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima) knocked over an estimated 80 million trees over 800 square miles in Siberia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event] ...

Tunguska Event: Meteor that blasted millions of trees in Siberia only 'grazed' Earth, new research saysLive Science - May 26, 2020 A new explanation for a massive blast over a remote Siberian forest in 1908 is even stranger than the mysterious incident itself. Known as the Tunguska event, ...
The explosion over Tunguska, Central Siberia, in 1908 released 10 to 20 megatons (high explosive equivalent) of energy at an altitude of about 10 km. This event represents a typical fate for stony asteroids tens of metres in radius entering the Earth's atmosphere at common hypersonic velocities...
