The Tunguska explosion that took place more than 100 years ago in the forest in Siberia, Russia is still one of the most mysterious events in human history and has not been decoded.
The mysterious explosion in the Russian forest was once as strong as 10-20 million tons of TNT – 1
To this day, there is still a lot of controversy regarding the cause of the explosion
The Tunguska event, also known as the Great Siberian Explosion, took place near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in the Evenk Autonomous Region, Siberia, Russia, at 7:17 a.m. on June 30, 1908. Many opinions say that this event appears to be an aerial explosion of an asteroid or comet from a distance of 5-10 km from the Earth’s surface.
The energy produced from the explosion was later estimated to be between 10-20 million tons of TNT, equivalent to Castle Bravo, America’s most powerful nuclear weapon. The explosion knocked down about 60 million trees over an area of 2,150 square kilometers in the forest. Scientists have noticed that many forest trees are bent sideways as if they had been blown over by a storm.
At 7:15 a.m., native Tungusians and Russian settlers in the hills northwest of Lake Baikal observed a column of blue light, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later there was an explosion and an extremely loud “crash” sound similar to the sound of short firecrackers that expanded further and further away. Eyewitnesses to the explosion said that the sound source moved every time it encountered obstacles, from east to north.
The sound was followed by a shock wave that knocked people down and smashed windows hundreds of kilometers away. Eyewitnesses only heard sounds and tremors, but did not observe the explosion. For other witnesses, information about the process and duration of the explosion was also inconsistent. Theories about the Tunguska explosion are very diverse such as asteroid explosion, comet… but up to now the case still has no answer.

Many theories have been put forward about the Tunguska explosion, including aliens. BAYOSI
In the early 2000s, Russian researcher Yuri Lavbin made a controversial statement saying that he owned some strange crystals, belonging to an “alien technical device”. obtained from the explosion. Some of these crystals have strange images and holes in them.
According to Lavbin, no existing modern technology can reproduce such precise images on the above crystals, so he asserts that it is of extraterrestrial origin. Some people in the community interested in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are excited about Lavbin’s hypothesis, but on the contrary, many opinions reject it.
In 2013, scientist Michael Visok went on an expedition to learn about strange circles deep in the area that locals call Death Valley in Siberia. Soon after Visok sent an expedition to the area and they discovered some irregularities in the circles, and discovered a presence of metal that they could not explain.
However, after only a few hours entering the area and before conducting further research, Visok began to feel nauseous and dizzy. These symptoms are very similar to those described in countless legends of the area passed down by the forefathers. Furthermore, the weather suddenly changed. This forced the team to cut the expedition short and leave the area. Bayosi
Legends about Death Valley are considered a topic of great public interest surrounding the Tunguska explosion because it has many mysterious developments. This is an area that has had endless legends for hundreds of years. Some people said that they had witnessed strange incidents in the area, and there were also people who ventured to sleep overnight, but woke up feeling uneasy in the morning.
Afterwards, two Russian astronomers Felix Zigel and Alexis Zolotov concluded that the mystery was related to extraterrestrial elements. Research shows that the location of the “explosion zone” is oval-shaped like people talk about UFOs. Not only that, Zolotov also discovered the “presence of metals” in the soil at the site of the Tunguska explosion.
According to the two characters above, it is very possible that a ship carrying aliens exploded in the sky. Some people also claimed they saw a “fireball” change direction in the sky several times on the morning of the explosion. Felix Zigel also said that this was recorded in the report of the Tatranska Observatory in Poland. The report emphasized that they tracked a strange object and found that it changed direction many times.
After the Tunguska explosion, a similar explosion took place on Brazil’s Curuca River in 1930. A meteorite exploded in the air, leaving a crater-like mark.
More recently, in February 2013, a similar meteor entered the atmosphere again and cameras captured it. It exploded over the Chelyabinsk region, central Russia, just 32 km above the ground, creating fish.
