The Tunguska event

Early 20th century, Northern Siberia, a blast 1000 times stronger than "little boy" who was dropped on Hiroshima tore through 2000 Km of forest. Nothing was found at the epicentre. Before any of you shout "meteorite", the blast was air borne, no fragments of meteorite were found at the epicentre.

meteor exploded in atmosphere mate. No mystery there

A lot of the so-called mysteries really aren't that mysterious, for example:

The Dyatlov Pass incident.

Ten very experienced ski hikers departed on a trip towards Russia's Otorten Mountain. On January 25, 1959, the group reached Ivdel and took a truck north to Vizhai.
It was the last time any of them were seen alive.
On the 26th, the rescuers came across the team's abandoned campsite. It was deserted and the tent was badly damaged as if something had ripped through it. Oddly, it appeared not as if something had tried to get into the tent, but rather like someone had ripped their way out. Tracks were found leading away from the camp and, 500 meters away, the found the first two hikers next to the remains of a campfire - both of them were dead, shoeless, and in only their underwear. Between the position of the first bodies, they found three more. The positions of the corpses suggested that they were trying to return to the original camp, but succumbed along the way. It was two months later that the remaining four hikers were found further into the woods.

The undressed state of the hikers can be easily explained by a phenomenon which occurs when someone suffers from extreme hypothermia, known as paradoxical undressing, which occurs in 20-50% of all hypothermia deaths. The claims of radiation and the quotes of Soviet investigators don't exist in the original official documents. The rest of the observations can be explained through either an avalanche or scavengers such as wolves.

The Russian ground anomolies.

A strange phenomena is happening in some Russian forests. People are finding strange, deep holes. They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can’t get on the car or truck to bring any device to drill the ground. There is no soil nearby that should be taken from such deep hole. When people are brave enough to venture into the holes, they find that they end abruptly in the darkness. There are no any reasonable ideas on how these holes appear and what they are being used for. No one knows who or what is digging these holes or why.

Similar things have occured in Guatemala city, known as piping pseudokarst, which occur when volcanic ashes are eroded, through water or permafrost. They are quite well known in Siberia for example. http://www.caves.org/pub/journal/JCKS/PDF/v69/cave-69-01-103.pdf

The Bloop

Recorded audio
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/acous...unds/bloop.wav

This sound was repeatedly recorded during summer, 1997 on the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array. The sound rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km. It yields a general location near 50oS; 100oW. The origin of the sound is unknown.

It originated from a point about 1,500 miles west of the southern Chilean coast. It was powerful enough to be picked up on sensors located up to 3,000 miles away, making it one of the most powerful noises ever recorded underwater. The sound lasted for just over a minute and has not been detected since.

It should be pointed out now that the NOAA has checked with the Navy and other groups to rule out human-made sources in this and the rest of these cases.

The Ourang Medan - high strangeness on the high seas

All the crew and officers of the Ourang Medan were dead, their eyes open, faces looking towards the sun, arms outstretched and a look of terror on their faces. Even the ship's dog was dead, found with a snarling expression at some unseen enemy. When nearing the bodies in the boiler room, the rescue crew felt a chill though the temperature was near 110°F.

There's no known ship by that name nor any mention of the incident in the Lloyd's shipping register, used for insuring merchant ships, nor is there any ship by that name registered in the Netherlands, there doesn't seem to be any source indicating the existence of the ship.

That Tunguska one looks like a "Fuel-Air Bomb", which would exactly mimic what is described there.

meteor exploded in atmosphere mate. No mystery there

Then where were the fragments?
Also, why would it explode in the atmosphere that close to ground?

 

[heatmeiser]

I was reading a thread on these the other day on another forum. Think there's some new ones in it.

That Taman Shud case is completely mad. I read a fair bit about that a few years ago.

The coded note - which could well be the gibberish ramblings of a mad man - is still trying to be deciphered today.

It's the rapid cooling that can make them explode.

It's happened to Jupiter in the form of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, there's no reason it couldn't work with a smaller body on the Earth. The sounds reported by the witnesses are observed in other meteor-fireballs. A particularly large meteor could easily get close to the Earth's surface before exploding.

Also fragments have been found and Lake Cheko is potentially the impact crater of a part of the meteor that survived the explosion.

Ah, never seen that before.
Still, interesting stuff though.

all over the place, explosion was off the charts. luckily it happened in siberia. that is not a mystery. scientists have no beef with tunguska mate

 

[TheFinnFan]

explosion flipped over 60 million trees. it was asteroid or comet.

caused by the air burst of a large meteoroid or comet
