In 1908, a mysterious explosion over Siberia flattened over 80 million trees and released energy equivalent to a nuclear weapon, yet investigators found no crater, leading scientists to theorize it was caused by a meteor exploding in the atmosphere rather than impacting the ground.

The Day the Sky Exploded Over SiberiaAdded:
In 1908, the sky exploded over Siberia.
And nobody knows exactly why.
Witnesses reported a blinding fireball tearing across the sky, brighter than the sun.
Moments later, a massive explosion flattened over 80 million trees across the frozen wilderness.
People were thrown to the ground dozens of miles away.
Windows shattered. Sky glowed at night for days.
But investigators found something terrifying.
There was no crater.
Scientists blamed a meteor explosion in the atmosphere.
Others believed it was alien technology, or a secret experiment gone wrong.
Whatever exploded over Tunguska, hit Earth with the force of a nuclear weapon.
History isn't boring. It's brutal.
