TRUTH !!
In 1908, a massive aerial explosion near Siberia's Stony Tunguska River
flattened 500,000 acres (2,000 sq km) of forest—felling an estimated 80
million trees over 830 sq mi (2,150 sq km) and producing a shockwave that
shattered windows hundreds of miles away. Known as the Tunguska event, the
explosion is thought to have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale, with an
estimated energy 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on
Hiroshima.
The Tunguska event was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near
the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at
about 07:14 KRAT (00:14 UT) on June 30 [O.S. June 17], 1908. The explosion,
having the epicenter (60.886°N, 101.894°E), is believed to have been caused
by the air burst of a small asteroid or comet at an altitude of 5–10
kilometres (3–6 mi) above Earth's surface.
Different studies have yielded widely varying estimates of the object's
size, on the order of 60 m (200 ft) to 190 m (620 ft). It is the largest
impact event on or near Earth in recorded history.
