What hit Earth in 1908 with the force of 3,000 atomic bombs?
October 13th, 2009
There have been numerous theories proposed about what struck the taiga
in central Siberia, causing millions of trees to topple over and many
still-standing trees to lose all their branches. Many expeditions
have looked for traces of what hit Earth and have not found much.
There is no telltale meteor crater, and no clear evidence of a
nuclear blast. In fact, at the epicenter, the trees were found to be
still standing. Whatever hit Earth did not reach the ground. It
exploded in the air above the ground.
In The Tunguska Mystery by Vladimir Rubtsov, the efforts put forth by
generations of Russian scientists, technicians, and others are
documented. What did they find? Was it a meteorite, as had first
been thought? Was it an asteroid? Was it a comet? Some support the
idea that this was not a "natural" event at all but one caused by
the explosion of an alien spaceship trying to land on Earth. Is
there any evidence for this? How did the Russian scientific and
world community react to this theory?
...
Vladimir Rubtsov was born in 1948 in Kharkov, Ukraine. He received
his Ph.D. degree in the philosophy of science from the Institute of
Philosophy of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, having defended
in 1980 the doctoral thesis "Philosophical and Methodological Aspects
of the Problem of Extraterrestrial Civilizations," the first of its
kind in the former USSR. Dr. Rubtsov has authored two monographs and
some 120 scientific and popular science articles in the Soviet,
post-Soviet and international press.
