The Tunguska Event : mysterious zones in the world
These are just a few examples of mysterious zones in the world that continue to fascinate and mystify people.
The Tunguska Event refers to a powerful explosion that occurred on June 30, 1908, in the remote Tunguska region of Siberia, Russia. The explosion was so massive that it flattened an estimated 80 million trees over an area of 2,000 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of a major metropolitan city.
The exact cause of the Tunguska Event remains uncertain, but it is widely believed to have been caused by a comet or asteroid exploding in the Earth's atmosphere. The explosion was estimated to have released energy equivalent to 10 to 15 megatons of TNT, making it the most powerful explosion in recorded history, aside from nuclear detonations.
The Tunguska Event was not witnessed directly, but its effects were felt across the region. Eyewitnesses reported seeing a bright light in the sky, followed by a massive explosion that knocked people off their feet and shattered windows as far as 400 kilometers away. The event has been the subject of scientific research for over a century, and various theories have been proposed to explain its cause, including the impact of a comet or asteroid, a natural gas explosion, and even an alien spacecraft. However, the most widely accepted explanation remains the asteroid or comet hypothesis.
