@ravenguy45: What if something exploded over Siberia... with the force of a massive nuclear blast—but left almost no crater? On June 30, 1908... something exploded high above the remote Tunguska region of Siberia. The blast was enormous. It flattened an estimated 2,000 square kilometers of forest... knocking down millions of trees in a pattern spreading outward from the explosion. People hundreds of kilometers away... reported seeing a brilliant flash... hearing powerful shock waves... and feeling the ground shake. But when scientists eventually reached the area... there was something strange. No obvious impact crater. And no large piece of meteorite... was ever conclusively recovered. Today... the leading explanation is that a small asteroid or comet fragment entered Earth's atmosphere... and exploded before reaching the ground. This is called an airburst. But because the event happened in such a remote region... and scientific investigations didn't begin until years later... many questions remained. What exactly caused it? How large was the object? And why was so little physical material left behind? The Tunguska Event remains one of the most powerful natural explosions in recorded history. Not because we have no explanation... but because we still don't know with absolute certainty... what object exploded above Siberia that morning.
