Tunguska Event | 100 Wonders | Atlas Obscura 

In soviet Russia, stars reach for you

just imagine this meteorite hitting a city directly

I've heard of this, but never knew the massive size of the explosion! That is just really REALLY big!

Thank God it hit in the middle of Siberia than in a city or something.

By far 100 Wonders is my favorite series on youtube, I hope you get tons of subscribers! :D

FGO Tunguska Sanctuary brought me here.

This one fascinated me ever since I was a kid. I think I learned about it from Arthur C Clarke.

What's most fascinating about this story that isn't mentioned in the video is what the locals say they witnessed prior to the explosion. That's a blast coming from the ground and hitting something coming into our atmosphere. (of course they worded it different) They say, not me, that the blasts came from the Siberian Cauldrons.

These are why Tuesdays and Thursdays are my favorite days.

how was the night sky lit up for weeks after? What would cause this?

If these events occur every ~300 years what was the one that happened about 300 years before Tunguska?

What if it was caused by a pink haired fox lady

Just came after clearing lostbelt 6 . ps: the ending was sad and hearwarming .

Amazing video, just sad that it doesn't use the metric system, most of the world don't have an intuitive sense of what a mile, feet or pound is, have to stop all the time to look up the conversion. I would suggest putting the two measures in the next videos.

Me coming here after Lostbelt 6 intermission trailer 👀

Mind blowing! (possibly literally) It's crazy to think that at any moment... BOOM! City gone. Great video, looking forward to the next one.

Official story in a Channel 4 documentary years back was it was caused by an exploding meteor. The few survivors who refused to accept or cooperate with the programs version said that wasn't the whole story. They said a meteor was roaring in and would have devastatingly struck the ground when something shot out of the ground at great speed and blew it to bits. Radiation was found all over the area and still the damage is visible. What could fly at great speed and wipe out a meteor with a nuclear weapon in 1908?

somewhere i read a theory that what happened that day was that a comet/asteroid was blown away before it struck the earth by an alien force in order to save earth from a cataclysm; hence the superficial damage

"depending on probability, we've got another Tunguska event in our near future" Honestly I just hope it lands in another relatively uninhabited area, or kills me instantly so I don't have to suffer its aftermath.

This is an amazing series!

Fun fact Nikola Tesla claimed to be the cause of the Tunguska Event as well as another weird event that lit up the night sky over the ocean for miles and miles

Dylan looks way too happy about a new Tunguska event happening any day now ...

"...if they didn't happen....then something went wrong." 😆 Great video. I'm loving this channel! 👍

This Story has Always been Fascinating!

why didn't he mention Tesla's "death ray"as a possible cause? even for fun. 10 years ago on the internet that was definitely on Tunguska's greatest hits.

This never cease to stir my curiosity.

I remember reading about this, really cool! Fantastic Video! Thanks For Sharing!

Interesting story

But... how are the trees in the "Center" upright?

Good narration. Keep it up 👍🏼

Correction, it’s a meteor until its hits Earth. Then it’s a meteorite

Dear me, theatre and imagination running riot in the absence of hard facts.....

The map of Russia you choosed is wrong..in 1910's Russia was 2 time bigger than today's Russia.

I’m just watching this thx

So happy that I came across this channel!!! *Bravo*

I heard that nothing grows on the area it hit- for unknown reasons...

It didn't explode, it flew through the atmosphere and continued on back into space.

Overly pumped up and excited. Like history on crack.

Og sunod2x na ing ani mahitabo ready na.

I am 44 years old, when I was very young around 3 or 4 maybe younger not sure but my mother and father would bring me to see a very old women, her name was "Aunty flo", she was very old, would sit in bed all of the time, she was a beautiful women from another age obviously. People that would live their whole lives and never steal or lie their whole lives, that kind of "old school". Any way she saw it, She said, it was night time and then it just became day time again. It was as if some one flicked a switch and then it went from night to day. That was her impression, what ever happened over there it was so massive it made it in London like it was day and that is a lot of power to do that.

"Tesla activated his "Death Ray" apparatus at the turn of the century. It resulted in an explosion in the remote lands of Siberia that was so vast and destructive that not even an atomic blast could have exceeded its impact. This historic event has been explained away as the crash of a meteor or a comet impacting Earth, but the devastation that remained in the fields of Tunguska was actually the manifestation of the alchemist's mad invention."

2:44 to 2:53: that clip completely debunks the "flattened trees" point you made earlier in the video, because the main focus might be the burned out section, but the background is entirely lush and full of standing trees.. Either it's not genuine footage, or the event is described improperly.. Did anyone else notice that? Also, the flattened trees look like a similar clip about early nuclear bomb tests in America.. Coincidence and similarities between nukes and impacts might explain it, but I'd like a side by side of those images..

When humans dont have an explanation to something: it was space IQ level =9000

If this or the Chelyabinsk event happened in the 70's, none of us would be alive today.

“ It was twenty years before a scientist could visit the site..” - narrator. “ I’m not sure why my ray gun didnt work?” - Nikola Tesla atop the the Waldof Astoria an hour before the Siberian event. Note: there has never been an impact of a meteorite, which with a footprint as large as this there should have been.

I'm new here and I like you. These videos are very entertaining man, keep it up! I will for sure continue watching these =). -Kinto

1:56 "Meteoroidor"? 😂 That's definitely NOT a word. You must have meant Meteoroid.

where is the crater if it was a meteorite?

So are you saying words wrong or are they misspelled on the video?

It wasn't a meteor. It was a craft.

why? why aren't there millions of subscribers? should make a video on that because its baffling

Wow. That’s nuts. 😯

The 'Tunguska Event' was not caused by Tesla, nor the impact of a celestial object, since Tesla lacked the technological ability to construct a particle beam weapon and there was no impact crater. However, the radioactive measurement of the area indicates that some nuclear explosion occurred. While our civilization lacked the ability to construct a nuclear device in 1907, this does not eliminate the possibility of another more advanced race had such technology and visited earth numerous times throughout history, including in 1907. Notwithstanding, such visitors would almost assuredly developed time-travel technology and harnessed the power of anti-matter. Indeed, the extended damage witnessed by the Tunguska Event suggests the exact kind of release of energy that would occur during an anti-matter electromagnetic containment chamber failure. The Tunguska Event was the likely result of a release of antimatter from an alien time-travel machine.

What if the explosion was plant based like a plant bomb if you will thus why they couldn’t find the meteor fragment

We need one now

can you believe it hit siberia!? how lucky...

There is also another theory.... and one which would account for ALL the purported effects: that it was an atmospheric seismic shock explosion from a micro-intensity (concentrated) earthquake that had generated a build-up of electromagnetic energy in the cosmically charged atmosphere, which finally resulted in a THERMAL explosion; hence the intense HEAT reportedly felt by some and the intense LIGHT of a fireball seen by others. The residual piezoelectromagnetic discharge created the reported atmospheric auroral effect for weeks afterwards.... something it does NOT make sense an incoming bolide exploding would do. THAT would simply act like a bomb and go "BOOM" for a moment and glow as long as the explosion lasted and then immediately fade away. It would NOT linger in a photoelectric effect like the Aurora Borealis or the colorful light discharges seen on the horizon before and after some EARTHQUAKES. THIS detail is the KEY to understanding the nature of the event and is also why some think it was caused by Nikola Tesla's electromagnetic earth energy tower "death ray"; because he claimed he could do something like THAT with it. Regardless of whether it was spontaneously natural or artificially induced the bottom line is it was EARTH generated, NOT atmospherically. This conclusion is what the witness reports lead us to. The photographic evidence of the site shows there was NO impact crater and NO inferno caused by the impact of a burning body. The trees were NOT incinerated nor charred and they were NOT ALL laid flat. Many were left standing. And amazingly NONE were broken! THIS would definitely NOT be the case IF they had either been impacted by a big fast-falling body, OR they had been laid by a sonic blast wave. Therefore this suggests something in the way of a vast electrically-charged gas wave. In other words, they were hit by an electrified blast of air!! The unevenness of the terrain "broke" it's force which is why some were left standing next to others that weren't. A normal thermal induced explosion would NOT do this because it's force would not be destabilized or "diluted" by ground level but would remain consistent/equal..... hence the mysteriousness of what caused the event.

The ignited (lightning or otherwise) terrestrial gas sounds plausible, particularly since the afterglow lasted so long and no one could reach the site. I don't profess to be even slightly educated on extraterrestrial impacts, but I buy natural gas flaring off more than I do forest burning for the light source. Smoke would be a factor here, unless I missed that it was.

If the trees stood straight up in the center than you will not find a crater. That would rule out a methane gas explosion or anything terrestrial.

feets, pound, miles... fuck...what kind of sorcery is this?!!!

Mentioned in Ghostbusters ;)

Those poor houses got no glass windos to shatter

That ended abruptly lol

It was teslas death ray. Tesla was responsible for the tunguska event. But it wasnt to harm people. He was testing it.

You should use SI units!

great vid

It was the first and only time teslas death ray was fired. Scalar weapon thats why no pieces were found. They weren't any.

is that density possible?

Wow!

Si es lo que pienso... Por los Viajeros y toda La Tierra ... Que todo se resuelva HERE AND NOW.

How does this extraterestrial object explosion explain the delayed lighting? I read somewhere that this was one of Nikola Tesla's side projects...

No thought on Nikola Tesla? He was questioned about the event. It is quite an interesting theory. Also look up Nikola Tesla, and the oscillator he built that caused a small earthquake, and his building he was working in almost collapsed on him. Just some fun unique ways of learning that Tesla was so far advanced in actually creating anything revolving around electricity, and vibrations.

And "Ressistance : Fall of Man" begins !

Not according to an extremely reliable channeled source. It was an enormous ET craft which had a large population of different exploratory ET beings who were diseased and could not leave the earth quarantine. The malfunctioning craft landed, rose up again only to self destruct after descending a little bit. No way to prove this of course, but it is what it is…

that was a Tesla's experiment!

Such incredible force! 🤔

Hm, june 30th is also my birthday. Is this an omen?

I heard this story from Alt çl-9 n i rly love this story

It was the Ceph that did this!!

Hiroshima is not an explosion. Just had to point out how that bothered me.

That was Tesla testing something on the sky. Not a meteor.

Earth is sit under water. Space is water, how can a meteor hit the earth. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I'm an extremely strict critique & i gotta say you're very good at explaining shit. 👍

was this weaker or stronger than the tsar bomba?

I have to contradict what you're saying here the time that this happened Tesla was showing his directed energy weapon to the military and this is what caused said event in tunguska my opinion my personal belief though check it out you might be surprised

Why haven't they found a single fragment or speck of space stuff

It was a Naval time line experiment to get the correct frequencies of that timeline. I saw this explosion 4/10/2014, I was on a military ship and saw two missiles go by and one exploded it was a 50 megaton nuclear missile that caused the damage, no paradoxes were created yet we knew it worked

Why no forest fires ? Or deep crater ?

Dr Argyle Blackstone did a thing about this too.

There was no crater found, how can you tell that now.

Great video! Could you please also use the metric system like almost the entire world uses?

i understand if people at that time didnt suspect this tunguska event was nuclear explosion. but why nobody nowadays (after 1945) didnt suspect it was a nuclear test/nuclear facility exploded? i mean in 1945 theres a nuclear bombing in hiroshima. surely some people (like me) would suspect this tunguska event was nuclear explosion,

Fascinating. No point in worrying though. If you were at the centre of the next one, you wouldn't even hear the bang. Happy days !

The Tesla Death Ray?

So...it could have been a giant earth fart?

Anyone here after watching Coherence (2013)?

A 12 megaton explosion with no radiation.

"meteoroidor" is a pretty great word. Atlas Obscura might want to add a space there.

Who’s that man that got pushed 40 miles away from a nuclear explosion and still explains how he felt ? I wanna eat what he eats

Thanks to the aliens for saving us on this one.
