Was the Tunguska Event Actually Caused by Aliens?

from Fool's FAQ

Did a giant explosion in the Siberian sky really come from outer space, or are we just filling in the blanks with the wildest story we can imagine?You hear about the 1908 Tunguska event as a “mystery blast,” but what actually happened over that remote stretch of Siberian forest? We look at eyewitness accounts of the shockwave, the massive tree fall pattern, and what scientists have pieced together from the site. Along the way, we talk about meteor airbursts, asteroid fragments, atmospheric entry, and why ideas like alien spacecraft or secret weapons keep hanging around in books and forums.The reason this one has stayed unsolved in so many people’s minds has less to do with what happened, and more to do with what we did not see.────────────────Enjoying the show?
