June 25, 2009 Long the subject of debate, with various theories ranging from meteorite impact to a sudden flying saucer engine meltdown, it’s finally been (somewhat) agreed upon that the 1908 “Tunguska Event” was, in fact, caused by the explosion of a comet in the upper atmosphere. This concept has been brought up before, and is now supported by Cornell University researcher Michael Kelly’s study of – strangely enough – the space shuttle’s exhaust plumes and their effect on high-atmosphere cloud formation. To those not familiar with the Tunguska Event, basically /something/ exploded or collided with the remote area of Russia on June 30, 1908, flattening the forest in an 830-square-mile area, but leaving no visible crater or other sign of what caused the event. Nearby residents reported the sound of a massive explosion, but that’s about it. Whatever it was, the devastation it caused is extensive and undeniable. It has been estimated that the blast was equivalent in power to 1,000 Hiroshima-sized explosions. Michael Kelly noted that high-altitude clouds, called noctilucent clouds, commonly form after the entry of the space shuttle into the atmosphere. These clouds tend to reflect light from the sun long into the night, and were particularly visible on July 1, 1908, one day after the Tunguska event. In fact it was noted that many cities across Europe experienced unusually bright nights. The reflective clouds are made up of ice particles, and may have been caused by massive amounts of water vapor scattered into the cold upper atmosphere from the vapor trail and explosion of a comet, which are typically made of rock and water ice. The comet theory is also supported by the obvious lack of an impact crater…an icy comet would have exploded high in the atmosphere, its ice rapidly boiling and expanding upon entry, and although the shockwave would have been – /was/ – extensive and devastating, there was little left to strike the ground. Anything that was left likely disappeared into the soft peat bogs of the Siberian tundra. Anyway, I thought this was cool. The event has been a staple of pop enigma for decades, and while the thought of a UFO’s dilithium chamber busting apart over pre-Soviet Russia is certainly intriguing, the more likely truth is no less fascinating. IMHO.
