 Albert,
 I am firmly convinced that the Tunguska Object was an Alien
  object that exploded. Below is an extract from "Mysteries of
 the Past." I have read not one but several accounts of this
 incident. I base my assumption on several items:

 1. Witnesses saw the object change course at least twice.
 2. It is described here as being cylindrical. Most meteors
    are so fast that NO shape can been seen with the naked
    eye.
 3. Description of the blast resembles the Mach Y stem of an
    atomic burst.  The caloric heat estimate of effects on
    trees would indicate that the blast was in the MEGA ton
    range rather than Kiloton.  Earth ripple at 400 miles as
    example.
 4. There was NO crater whereas a Meteor would have been huge.
 5. Bones of those that died from apparent radiation showed a
    high radiation count 50 years later.
 6. This was NOT a wild tale as the entire world recorded the
    shock.
 7. Earth science at that time had no way of producing a fission
    device much less a Fusion type yield.

 8. The device could have been an unmanned device much as we have
    sent to the moon and various planets.  An atomic engine could
    have gone critical..

 For your Info..
 My Idea,
 Jim

 Extract:

 "Shortly after 7 A.M. on June 30, 1908, early rising farmers,
 herdsmen,  and   trappers in the sparsely settled vastness of
 the  central  Siberia Plateau watched in awe as a cylindrical
 object,  glowing  with an intense  bluish --- white light and
 trailing a fiery tail,  raced across a clear blue sky  toward
 the northern horizon. At 7:17, over a desolate region of bogs
 and low,  pine covered hills traversed by the  Stony Tunguska
 River, it disappeared;  instantly, a  "pillar of fire" leaped
 skyward,  so high  it was  seen  hundreds of miles away;  the
 earth shuddered under the impact of a titanic explosion;  the
 air was wracked  by thunderous claps;  and a superheated wind
 rushed  outward,  setting yurts  of the taiga  on fire.  At a
 trading post forty miles from the blast, a man sitting on the
 steps of his house  saw the blinding  flash and  covered  his
 eyes;  he felt  scorched,  as if the shirt  on his back  were
 burning,  and the next moment he was hurled from the steps by
 a shock wave and  knocked unconscious.  Four hundred miles to
 the south the ground heaved  under the tracks of the recently
 completed  Trans-Siberian Railway,  threatening  to derail an
 express.  And  above  the  Tunguska  region  a mass  of black
 clouds,  piling  up  to a height  of  twelve miles,  dumped a
 shower af "black rain" on the counrtyside --- dirt and debris
 sucked ---- up by the explosion --- while rumblings like heavy
 artillery fire reverberated throughout central Russia.

 Since seismographs and barographs everywhere had recorded the
 event, the entire world knew that something extraordinary had
 occurred  in the  Siberian wilderness.  But what?  Scientists
 conjectured that a giant meteorite must have fallen,  explod-
 ing  from the intense heat  its impact generated.  On hitting
 the ground, such a body would,  theoretically, have blown out
 a huge crater  like the one in Arizona,  three-quarters  of a
 mile square,  left  by a meteorite  that fell  fifty thousand
 years ago,  but the Siberian "impact site" turned out to be a
 dismal swamp, with no trace of a meteorite to be seen."
