What really happened at Tunguska will it happen again?

Question

A chunk of antimatter falling from space, The explosion of A Stony Asteroid.The result of an exploding alien spaceship or an alien weapon going off to "save the Earth from an imminent threat.In 1908, something exploded in an isolated area of Siberia.WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Answer 1

Tunguska was almost certainly the result of a meteorite exploding several thousand feet above the surface. This not only explains the lack of a crater but also the distribution of fallen trees, which looked like they had all been flattened from above.

Experiments in the laboratory have strengthened the case of the "air burst" hypothesis.

Answer 2

Probably a comet that exploded in the atmosphere. Its a fairly common event at higher altitudes. This one exploded at a lower altitude, and caused some serious problems for a large area of Siberian forest. That fits most of the facts. Its Highly doubtful that antimatter was involved. As far as I know the ascendency of matter over its rival was settled instants after the big bang. Its even more doubtful that alien spacecraft were involved. Why would aliens be blowing up a lot of Siberian trees? Are Siberian trees a danger to some remote Alien civilization? The aliens had to send a battleship to defend galactic civilization against the threat of those trees. Those must be some really dangerous trees.

Answer 3

It was more than likely an object entering the earths atmosphere and 'air bursting" thousands of feet above the epicenter. There were many scientists doing experiments on air burts and the physical effects of these bursts during the US and Soviet nuclear tests during the fifties and sixties. The resulting evidence was matched to the effects that were seen in Siberia and the best theory going now is an abject air burst over Siberia. This phenomenon has been found to have also possibly happened over modern day Canada 10,000 years ago that caused the mass extinction of mastadons and indigenous species in North America. These beasts were essentially wiped out in a very short period of time, relatively speaking. The evidence has recently come about that an object air burst above Canada and caused an immediate change in climate and possibly instantaneously killed a great number of these animals. Humans survied becuase of our ability to adapt and know when it is a good time to head for more favorable conditions,this probaly sparked a mass exodus of the people living in the north to pursue life in Central and South america.

Answer 4

There are various theories about the Tunguska event.
An asteroid would have left a large crater.
A comet is less massive but it would have crashed into the trees and destroyed them.
A meteorite is usually a rocky mass,but it could also be a giant ball of dust.
Such an entity would never impact the ground but the shock wave that preceded it through the atmosphere would be sufficient to lay all the trees flat from a central point and leave no crater.

Answer 5

A comet probably did it. How would antimatter get that far? No one needs to say aliens did it. I have read about this episode and seen photos of trees knocked down.

Answer 6

Hmm according to what I researched. Guess a meteor or comet truly did not wipe the dinosaurs out. Since we should now be extinct. The energy of the blast was estimated to be between 10 and 20 megatons of TNT — 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

Answer 7

It happened only 100 years ago, so without any more specific knowledge, I'd assume something like this is very likely to occur within the next couple of hundred years or less.

Answer 8

A large meteor of some kind hit. It could happen again at any moment.

Answer 9

That was Nikola Tesla's experiment

Answer 10

My two cents....

Must likely a Comet.
