found in the upper atmosphere and in comet dust.

Due to the fact that atomic bombs and atomic powered devices would not be known on earth until the 1940's or later, and due to the fact that such devices were unknown on earth in 1908, the only possible source of atomic powered anything that could have crashed in Tunguska in 1908 would have had to have been alien in origin. There is a Japanese UFO group who believes that this is what happened.

The evidence found in the Tunguska region has raised questions that have evoked debate and speculation. Although theories as to what may have happened on June 30, 1908 at Tunguska have included scenarios involving meteorites, asteroids, comets, anti-matter, mini black holes and alien spacecraft, most scientists seemed to believe that the event had been caused by a particular kind of asteroid, based on the particles found in the resin of the trees at Tunguska. As if to prove a point, some have pointed out that pea-sized meteorites come into the earth's atmosphere at the rate of approximately 10 per hour, while the possibility of a rock, which could wipe out an area the size of New Jersey, could happen as frequently as once every one hundred years.

As the anniversary of one hundred years approaches, the event of 1908 in the Tunguska region of Siberia remains as enigmatic as ever. Only by re-examining the data, the location, the theories and the documentation can an answer as to what actually happened at Tunguska be determined. It is a puzzle without a definitive answer.
