The historically called "Tunguska Event" has been one of the greatest controversies of history, one that hasn't been settled even after already a century later. However, there may be recent findings that could start to give answers to the mysterious scientific event that led millions of people questioning.
Tunguska Event Over 100 Years Ago Still Remains A Mystery Until Now As New Evidences Prosper
Back in June 20, 1908, it has been noted that there was what seemed to be a large fireball that crossed the sky just above the meadow over the Stony Tunguska River. The fireball that came about to the area was such a huge mystery as an explosion followed its approach towards a portion of Russia. The explosion was heard in over 1,200 kilometers away from where it happened, and as history serves, there have been many versions to the story and as to what really happened based on the statements of the witnesses.
To some of the witnesses, it appeared to be what seemed like Armageddon to them. However, amazingly enough, there were no casualties reported during the incident even though it basically erased and flattened about 80 million tress in the forest and the explosion seemed like 185 Hiroshima bombs blown altogether at the same time. Thus, upon impact, scientists were never able to find any geological remains that would define the incident as a meteor hitting Russia. However, over some time, some researchers have led themselves to the theory that Lake Cheko is what was formed upon the mysterious explosion.
Russians Do Not Agree About "Lake Cheko" Being An Impact Crater; Study Continues To Flourish
According to the research team of the matter led by Professor Giuseppe Longo, there have been no concrete evidences that Lake Cheko is in fact an impact crater. However, since the lake was not part of the original map of Russia and suddenly just mysteriously appeared over time, they are strongly convinced that it could have been a result of the explosion widely known as the Tunguska event. The Russians claim this to be unruly and said that maps being designed centuries ago were not accurate, which would explain why Lake Cheko was not part of it. However, the study is still being continually worked on as the team find evidences that the lake is in fact a crater formed by the impact of a meteor hitting Russia over 100 years ago.
