I thought the consensus on Tunguska was that it was a asteroid that was at the right density to airburst instead of impacting the ground.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Must browse for more unnatural natural phenomena which lend themselves to weird science and conspiracy theories.
Really you have to develop a taste for weird cheap docus on The Discovery Channel or one of its offshoots. Where were you for In Search Of?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's what I've heard. Or else the same situation but with a comet.
The whole black hole theory makes no sense to me.

There is a contingent of the reality-challenged who think an alien spacecraft crashed or exploded.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
In "I learn everything from Yahoo entertainment news" news: I have been working under the impression that "men in Trees" starred Laura Dern.
No wonder I kept watching thinking, "She looks so different."

Well yeah.
I mean, no.
IIRC they found no physical evidence (debris, radiation, etc.) besides the fact that a whole bunch of trees got knocked down. Or did they not think to check for radiation back then?

Just like Roswell. The last 50 feet of those trillion mile journeys is always the hardest part.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never heard of Tunguska either.
From you I buy it.

Well, if an alien spacecraft crashed or exploded, could it look like Tunguska?
I've spent the time since my last post reading about grisly murders. Focus. Phone.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Wow. That's priceless. If only links could be COMMed.
Tunguska.
Wasn't it also mentioned in passing Ghostbusters? I seem to recall Ray comparing something to the "Tunguska blast" at one point.
I have two job-search related phone calls to make that I monumentally don't want to.
There's a job-search-related insent for you, ita. My agent/recruiter guy says he can probably get you connected to the right person in their L.A. office if you want.
