Big Bang in Siberia

David Reneke has a long essay on the Tunguska Meteorite blast.

no it wasn't an alien ship exploding: fragments from that meteroite have been found

the most mysterious aspect of this explosion is that it left no crater and scientists have long argued over what could have caused it...
That changes today with the extraordinary announcement by Andrei Zlobin from the Russian Academy of Sciences that he has found three rocks from the Tunguska region with the telltale characteristics of meteorites. If he is right, these rocks could finally help solve once and for all what kind of object struck Earth all those years ago.
