Today is the 110th anniversary of the Tunguska Event. It's still a mystery what exactly exploded over Siberia. The accepted version is a meteorite exploded in the atmosphere and others believe it could have been an antimatter explosion from a UFO's reactor.

After the airburst over Chelubinsk in 2013 I'd tend to agree with the asteroid airburst theory.......only one that was obviously much stronger.

Is it accepted across the board no matter the theory believed that whatever exploded it happened above the ground, it did not explode on the ground?...

Yep - there was no crater, and the trees were flattened radially, which is the signature of a powerful high-altitude detonation. Since they never found any kind of metallic or other suspicious debris, it's hard to imagine that any kind of technological device was involved.

I am in favor of a meteor. it came in and exploded above ground. it is very similar to the 2013 airburst.
I'm of the opinion that the meteor was larger then the 2013 event. but still a meteor.

Why do you think there is a whole months difference in the date of the event? A typo, or records of the event were never clear?

It's hard to believe that the event was not documented immediately afterwards. It had to have been seen for miles in every direction.

Stare..... They are always staring
I believe it was about 10 years before anyone got an expedition together to check it out. I have yet to hear a compelling reason why it took this long, if I were a scientist of that era I'd be chomping at the bits to track it down and have a look see.

I think I read somewhere that they waited so long because of the radiation levels in the area.

It was almost 20 years before they got there.......and due to WW1, the Russian Revolution and its very remote location its not a surprise it took so long. I don't even think they knew to measure radioactivity at that point.

It's probably just an honest mistake or maybe it has a deeper meaning. x2
