Recieved this in my email today from Bizarre News. I just had to post it.
Greetings fellow Bizarros:
Has anybody ever heard of the Tunguska Event? This is one of
the oldest mysteries in the modern world, and it just past
its one hundredth birthday.
It occurred in June 1908 over an isolated area in Siberia
known as Tunguska. The aftermath of this event was so cata-
strophic that an entire forest encompassing hundreds of
square miles, tens of thousands of trees and entire herds
of animals was instantly destroyed. Tremors were felt for
hundreds of miles and an anomalous glow in the sky was
observed as late as 10 days afterwards from as far away as
England on the other side of the continent!
But what was the event? An explosion? Certainly. Caused by
what nobody is exactly certain. But one man has a new and
controversial theory.
Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon
Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed
itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the
planet above Siberia.
Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite
exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks
quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are
remnants of an alien control panel, which fell to the ground
after the UFO slammed into the giant rock.
"We don't have any technologies that can print such kind of
drawings on crystals," Labvin told the Macedonian Inter-
national News Agency. "We also found ferrum silicate that
can not be produced anywhere, except in space."
On the surface it sounds bizarre, but no more off-the-wall
than some of the other theories which have been put forward
including that it was not a comet at all but an object of
an antimatter nature or even a miniature black hole which
suddenly appeared in space immediately above the earth.
That sounds plausible.
If you're interested there are plenty of photographs of
the destruction to be found on the Internet. Just search
Tunguska Event. And with that brewing in your brains let's
get on with some more current bizarre stories.
Bizarrely,
Lewis
