The Tunguska event was an aerial explosion that occurred on very high power near Podkamennaya River in Tunguska (Evenki, Siberia, Russia) in position 60 ° 55'N 101 ° 57'E /? 60,917, 101.95Coordenadas: 60 ° 55'N 101 ° 57'E / 60,917, 101.95 at 7: 17 June 30, 1908. The Tunguska phenomenon encouraged more than 30 hypotheses and theories of what happened. The blast, similar to that of a thermonuclear weapon high power has been attributed to a comet. Because it has not recovered any fragment, it handles the theory that a comet made of ice. By failing to reach the surface, there was no crater or astrobleme. Almost a century later there would be not far Vitim event, less spectacular but even more strange.
The study of the Tunguska event was late and confused. Almost twenty years later, a Russian explorer, Leonid Kulik, organized in 1927, an expedition in search of Siberian meteorite whose impact site no one had seen or located so far. 1927 is also the year that Stalin takes the entire Soviet power.
is a bad year for science: after a long and protracted civil war, no one can move freely in the Soviet Union, at risk of ending up dying in a gulag. But finally riding his Kulik impracticable sled through the Siberian forest tundra and dense (even today one can go by helicopter), miraculously finds a remote valley devastated by the effect of a gigantic explosion. And it is the first human to see the spectacle. No meteorite crater, but in a radius of several kilometers only are the remains of thousands of trees felled by a brutal force. Later expeditions in the thirties and forties do some aerial photography of the event reports, and in 1946 a Russian scientist, Alexander Kazantsev, write a book telling the story first browser Kulik and attributing the cause of the phenomenon to "the atomic explosion an alien spacecraft. " There
documents published before the year 1946 concerning the Tunguska phenomenon inside or outside Russia. Just some notes from the diaries from 1904 to 1910 reporting the view of several meteorites falling lost in this remote and uninhabited region of Siberia. So far the official history that during the last five decades has brought in check astronomers, geologists and even UFO with the task of explaining the inexplicable.
Other hypotheses even wilder than the previous one is that in 1946 Stalin was at the peak of his power: he has won a war, kill all their enemies like Leon Trotsky, erasing all traces of its existence, even falsifying photographs built in Soviet history. 1945 - 1946 is also the year when Americans begin to send spy planes over the territory of his old Communist ally and now worrying.
In 1945, Stalin was very little to feel like Americans discover Tunguska, a large sample of the vulnerability of the Soviet empire: The footprint of the atomic bomb attack by the Germans on February 23, 1945.
The Tunguska explosion is also similar to that of Hiroshima at an altitude of explosion: the topology of the area and the map show the effect that the catastrophe is stopped by a mountain with a height of only six hundred meters above the valley: the hypothetical "meteorite" Tunguska exploded about 600 meters. The Hiroshima exploded 565 meters.
The radius of total destruction of a mile, although it is possible to trace the effects of the shock wave more than ten miles away.
These pictures are at least 1927, according to Soviet sources themselves, year in which it is said Leonid Kulik found the site after making its prosaic and successful expedition by sled across thousands of miles of impenetrable forest. Aerial photographs are, according to sources, somewhat later, in late thirty. But offer the same show: total devastation, no forest recovery despite more than thirty years after the event.
Since 1946, the Tunguska forest recovery seems almost instant, as happened in the years following the bombing of Hiroshima , the effect of radiation. A nearby example: In 1980 he produced the explosion of Mount St. Helens volcano, located in the state of Washington in the northwest corner of the United States. A force a million times greater than that of Tunguska phenomenon takes away half a mountain, and destroy and tear down millions of trees in a radius of tens of kilometers. But the sequence of photographs reveals to us after the almost total and spectacular recovery from the nearby forests of the volcano in only fifteen years.
However, almost forty years after the mysterious Tunguska explosion in 1946 devastated the appearance of the forest landscape is still identical to the forests of St. Helen in 1981, one year after the American disaster. Something similar happens in Hiroshima, but the effect of radiation, an accelerated plant growth in the area previously destroyed by the atomic bomb. If true the hypothesis Soviet history Kulik, in 1927, the Tunguska forest recovery would have been almost complete. All
discuss the origin of the explosion, but nobody doubts that the Tunguska explosion actually occurred in 1908. It is very likely that the unreliable but intelligent Stalin has deceived us once again with the birth of the Tunguska phenomenon, faking in more than 40 years. No document published prior to 1945, speaking or referring to the explosion, in any language, including Russian. The study of 1930 cases attributed to FJW Whipple, of the Royal Meteorological Society London, referring to large meteorites that fell in Siberia at the beginning of the century, that have nothing to do with Tunguska. Still
therefore conclude today accepted by all serious astronomers, is that the Tunguska event was caused by the collision of a fragment of comet Encke in 1908, which fortunately is vaporized before reaching the ground.
