Tunguska 1908: The Sky-Explosion That Flattened a Forest


Listen Later

In this episode we dive into the Tunguska event of 1908—the colossal blast over remote Siberia that felled millions of trees with no crater in sight. We’ll unpack eyewitness accounts, the early Kulik expedition, and the eerie butterfly-pattern of scorched trees, then tour the scientific clues—from microscopic nickel-rich spheres to peat bog isotopes and iridium—that point to an extraterrestrial origin. Join us as we sift declassified files and modern analyses to tease apart whether it was an airburst, a comet, or something even stranger.
