Recently, magnetic detectors are believed to have found a meteorite fragment:
"A team of Italian scientists has found evidence of a possible impact crater about 10 kilometers from ground zero. They will soon return to recover what may be a fragment of the cosmic object." http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-tunguska-mystery Others believe it was a fragment of a UFO which was shot down by the "owners" of Earth in order to protect their "property". http://www.universetoday.com/2009/05/26/scientist-claims-ufo-collided-with-tunguska-meteorite-to-save-earth/ "A Russian scientist claims that aliens downed the Tunguska meteorite 101 years ago to protect our planet from devastation. Yuri Lavbin says he found unusual quartz crystals at the site of the massive Siberian explosion. Ten crystals have holes in them, placed so the stones can be united in a chain, and other have drawings on them. "We don’t have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals," said Lavbin. "We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space.” " Terry On Thu, Jan 7, 2010 at 4:26 PM, Jed Rothwell <[email protected]> wrote: > Rich Murray wrote: > >> The Tunguska event. >> It is the only known example of a low altitude atmospheric explosion.
