There is an idea (see "The Cosmic Winter" by Clube and Napier) that there was an explosion over England similar, to the Tungusta event in Russia in 1908, in the mid fifth century AD, possibly at the end of June 441. The event might have centred on the Midlands (around present-day Northampton). This might explain the lack of historic records etc. between the end of Roman Britian and the invasion of the Anglo-Saxons.
Do you know anything about this? Any sensible comments gratefully received - this could include geological evidece, archaeological evidence, biological evidence e.g. DNA records, ancient scientific observations or other historical records overseas etc.
No daft or joke answers please. I am seriously looking for information.
