In 1908 hundreds of square miles of Siberian forest were flattened and burned by a mysterious fireball. Only now, nearly nine decades later, are we
learning what really happened--and not a minute too soon a vast fireball raced through the dawn sky over Siberia, then exploded with the force of
1,000 Hiroshima bombs. The heat incinerated herds of reindeer and charred tens of thousands of evergreens across hundreds of square miles. For days,
and for thousands of miles around, the sky remained bright with an eerie orange glow--as far away as western Europe people were able to read
newspapers at night without a lamp. The effect was much like that of a great volcanic eruption, yet there had been no eruption. The only objective
indication of the extraordinary event was a quiver on seismographs in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, indicating a moderate quake some 1,000 miles north
in a remote region called Tunguska.
Some have asserted that it was only a comet or meteor. However, no meteor fragments or impact craters were found in the area. Others have asserted
that it was a mini-black hole. But, this may be stretching current science a bit. Consequently, we now turn your attention to what does seem to fit
the facts. Researchers into Tesla's work have come to the concensus that it was probably one of his experiments. In the beginning of the 1900s, he
was building Wardenclyffe, to transmit messages and electrical power all over the globe. But, by 1908, he had fallen into bad economic straights, with
the project not fully completed. However, calculations on his potential power outputs indicate that a sudden burst of his equipment could have
produced a massive electrical storm or even EMP. Moreover, others have pointed out that Tesla published claims of coming up with some kind of death
ray, to make war obsolete, at this time!
He planned to show off his invention when Perry was reaching the north pole in 1908. Tesla told Perry to watch the sky on that particular night. The
idea being that Perry would note it in his journal and Tesla would get some much needed good press. Tesla must have made some miscalculations or there
may have been a problem, but he overshot the pole and hit Siberia. (A DIRECT line from Tesla's location, across the North pole hits Tunguska.)
The only problem with this suggestion is that ALL the eyewhitnesses claim they saw whatever caused the blast 'burning/roaring' (like a meteor with
fire behind it) coming from the SOUTH. Tesla's experiment would've been seen coming from the NORTH. (and it probably wouldn't have made a trail of
fire.)
Who knows... maybe he shot something down... something with a massive nuclear (probably D'stronic rather than nuclear) reactor type engine that
would've been in orbit... sounds plausible to me.
