Ok, for the record, I believe in some stuff that some people may deem weird or crazy. Ghosts, for one. The "energy" of places, people, and things - ley lines, chi, and the like. Karma. To some extent, UFOs.
But this goes above and beyond all of the "crazy" shit I believe.
Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the planet above Siberia on June 30, 1908.
The result was was the Tunguska event, a massive blast estimated at 15 megatons that downed 80 million trees over nearly 100 square miles. Eyewitnesses reported a bright light and a huge shock wave, but the area was so sparsely populated no one was killed.
Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are remnants of an alien control panel, which fell to the ground after the UFO slammed into the giant rock.
"We don't have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals," Labvin told the Macedonian International News Agency. "We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space."
Uh. Huh.
In 1908, the UFO is thought to have hit the meteorite that weighed over 1 billion tones. If the meteorite fell down on Earth, all the people would have been dead, extinct. Scientists believe the aliens had interfered and put their lives on the line to make sure there isn't a direct impact with Earth.
Riiiight.
Ok, let's think about this step by step. First, A billion ton rock blown to bits by a self-sacrificing, good samaritain alien pilot.
A BILLION tons of rock.
That's roughly, what, a mile or so in diameter? Maybe bigger? If something that big had been smashed into - and I don't care HOW FAST either object is going, you're NOT going to have total vaporization. You're gonna have some fracturing and breaking, which in turn means that many, many more smaller rocks will rain down from the sky. Where are the "sub-impact" craters to back this up?
Second, why the hell would an advanced alien species sacrifice itself for a violent, stupid, primitive race like ours??
Third...of COURSE you're going to find materials only found in space when you're dealing with a SPACE-BORNE object, such as, oh, I don't know, a METEOR? Why is that automatically evidence of a UFO?
Fourth - these quartz crystals with the "strange markings". Natural, eons long geologic processes are far more powerful than anything humans can do. Quartz grinding against quartz (or other things grinding against quartz), natural leeching of tannins from surrounding vegatation, and perhaps the impact itself are all perfectly reasonable explanations for the colored stria found on these quartz blocks. Little humans with lasers are nothing compared to the awesome forces at work under our feet.
