I can"t comment about the Meteor crater, as I am not expert on it. But I would like to comment on the mentioned so called Tunguska event, as I work on the item for more than 15 years. I can say that till now there is no any proof that Tunguska was a space impact. Moreover more and more arguments against this interpretation appear.

Spassibo - Andrei, that is very interesting and we have had discussions on this site previously as to what happened in 1908. I have read about the initial expeditions to the region and thought there were several eye-witness statements of a fireball in the sky and an enormous BANG but perhaps these can occur by other means than an airburst.
Have you been there? It looks very inhospitable.

I ask myself why is this not on an official institute page then if your information is so scientific?

Hi,

There are many who believe that the Tunguska event was caused by a test of Tesla's large scaler-wave energy transmission device.

Thank you for interest in Tunguska. I was in the Tunguska epicenter for a couple of times. Unfortunately, I am not able to discuss Tunguska at all forums in internet, so those who are interested to discuss Tunguska are welcome to Tunguska forum: http://lists.topica.com/lists/tunguska
so if you wish to ask me - please go there. I am not sure that I will have spare time to visit forum.physorg.com in the nearest future.

Best wishes,
Andrei

I read this article with interest, but found myself stumbling over an error in the sentence quoted below.
"The intact half of the Meteor Crater meteorite exploded with at least 2.5 megatons of energy on impact, or the equivalent of 2.5 tons of TNT. "

That should have read:

"The intact half of the Meteor Crater meteorite exploded with at least 2.5 megatons of energy on impact, or the equivalent of 2.5 million tons of TNT. "
