The Tunguska Event: Alien Evidence?

What are the odds of seeing a UFO whisk away humankind just before the Mayan doomsday prophecy hits on December 21? If the Tunguska event is any indication, there may be evidence of benevolent aliens looking after planet Earth.

 

The Tunguska event you think you know

As published by the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, June 30, 1908 was the day that a powerful explosion near today's Krasnoyarsk Krai resulted in a 500,000-acre devastation. Early on, scientists proposed that the impact of an iron-body asteroid resulted in the 10- to 15-megaton blast. This theory was followed a few years later with the idea that a million-ton stone-body meteorite was the actual culprit. Another assumption mentioned a comet. Scientists eventually favored the asteroidal source theory.

Cornell University researchers weighed in later, Science Daily reported, by offering proof that the comet theory, in fact, is the correct answer when looking at the damage caused by the space object in 1908. Proof was the NASA space shuttle exhaust plume, which mimicked the impact of the unknown object. Therein lays the rub: who is to say that it was not the exhaust of an unknown flying object or the impact of such a vessel that caused the devastation in the first place?

The Tunguska event Dr. Yuri Labvin knows

The president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation does not put a lot of credence in the comet vs. asteroid debate. Instead, as reported by the Sun, Dr. Yuri Labvin believes that the blast was caused by a traveling UFO choosing to sacrifice itself to prevent a huge meteor from colliding with our planet. An out-of-this-world assertion to be sure, but the scientist claims to have proof: marked quartz slabs found at the supposed crash site. He hypothesizes that these slabs point to alien-made products, which most likely came from the alien craft's control panel.

Did aliens really save us from a 1908 doomsday event? Will they do it again?

"I am fully confident and I can make an official statement that we were saved by some forces of a superior civilization," WorldNet Daily quotes Yuri Labvin. The researcher believes that the meteorite headed for earth weighed about one billion tons but was exploded roughly 10 kilometers above the Tunguska river area. This theory takes into account eyewitness accounts that first noted a fireball, then a flash and lastly a shock wave.

It is tempting to speculate about the aliens that could have saved humankind in 1908 but never made actual contact. Did the meteorite interrupt a first contact attempt? Could the Mayan prophecy of some type of change in 2012 point to yet another possible contact date?
