Did aliens save planet in 1908? Russians say they have found spaceship debris

Members of a Russian scientific team researching the site of the Tunguska meteorite crash of 1908 say they have found remnants of an extraterrestrial spacecraft, report a variety of Russian news agencies.

The object appeared to be a large metallic block, according to the reports. The researchers chipped a piece of the object and will now test its composition.

One scientist said based on his calculations, the mass of the space object headed for Earth in 1908 was nearly 1 billion tons. He believes the meteorite was blasted by the spaceship at an altitude of 10 kilometers to prevent the destruction of all humanity on the planet.

"I am fully confident and I can make an official statement that we were saved by some forces of a superior civilization," Yuri Lavbin said. "They exploded this enormous meteorite that headed towards us with enormous speed," he said. Now this great object that caused the meteorite to explode is found at last. We will continue our research, he said.

Is this from WorldNetDaily or Weekly World News?

WorldNetDaily and Weekly World News should just go ahead with the merger - it would end a lot of confusion among the reading public. ;)

World Net Daily, amazingly enough, manages to sink even lower in my eyes.

[Alberta's Child]

Yeah, OK.

Hard to tell, they have similar standards for veracity.

Come to think of it, I've never seen Joe Farah and Batboy together...

Was Elvis or Big Foot also spotted there?

Have they tested this debris for Bruce Willis' DNA?

They should interview the Face on Mars ... I'm sure it saw the whole thing.

Russia reports finding alien 'wreckage'

Tura, Russia, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Researchers in Siberia report finding wreckage of an "alien technical device" near where the Tunguska meteorite crashed in 1908, the Interfax news agency said.

World Net Daily. Never mind. Their quality of story is so spotty these days that I generally just ignore all stories from them now.

[dinasour]

An object of a given mass at a given speed is going to cause and explosion x megatons.

I don't think it matters a lot whether or not it is one big chunk or a bunch of little chunks. Blowing it up would not have helped much.

Where is the TInfoil?

Alien Wreck Found Say Russian Scientists

8-12-4

(AFP) - Russian scientists claim the wreck of an alien device has been found at the site of an unexplained explosion in Siberia almost 100 years ago.

Interfax news agency said the scientists, who belong to the Tunguska space phenomenon public state fund, said they found the remains of an extra-terrestrial device that allegedly crashed near the Tunguska river in Siberia in 1908.

They also claim to have discovered a 50 kg rock which they have sent to the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk for analysis.

The Tunguska blast, in a desolate part of Siberia, remains one of the 20th century's biggest scientific mysteries.

On June 30, 1908, what was widely believed to be a meteorite exploded a few kilometres above the Tunguska river, in a blast that was felt hundreds of kilometres away and devastated over 2,000 square kilometres of Siberian forest.

But the exact nature of the body that exploded and its origin remain a mystery which has spurred countless theories and controversies.

Well, now we know where the Winged Cat came from...

Mighty ungrateful of the Russkies to kill the alien winged cat who saved the Earth from a giant meteor. :o)

Let me guess. The Russian mafia is selling pieces of this "metallic block" on the black market?

[crusty codger]

I doona know Captain. It just disappeared!

"One scientist said based on his calculations, the mass of the space object headed for Earth in 1908 was nearly 1 billion tons. He believes the meteorite was blasted by the spaceship at an altitude of 10 kilometers to prevent the destruction of all humanity on the planet."

This is SO ridiculous! Aliens blasting meteorites......sheeez.

Everybody knows that it was Nicola Tesla's first test of his giant electrical resonator coil that did the damage.

Let me dust off my copy of Chariots of the Gods

[MrsEmmaPeel]

Ah, the Asgard! You gotta love those guys!

[Dead Corpse]

Still ticks me off that the Greys are called the "Asgard" in Stargate. Asgard was a PLACE in Norse mythology. The Aesir and Vanir were the Norse Gods.

Still, makes you wonder what the Ruskie's found. Chunk of a comsat?

"Everybody knows that it was Nicola Tesla's first test of his giant electrical resonator coil that did the damage."

Nope. Tesla was trying to send a message to Admiral Byrd at the North Pole. But he overshot the Pole and the beam was a "little bit" more powerful than he thought.

Imagine the dedication required to weigh all those little pieces on a lab scale...

[Havoc]

This is from the Onion isn't it. Sounds like a theory from the evolutionists...

NewsMax is even worse, IMO

Right out of an Arthur C. Clarke book.

Oh man...thats what I was thinking..."it's a space peanut"...

ewwww

[Nov3]

A few years ago I saw a specal were scientist tried to recreate the blast pattern. No earth impact could reproduce the blast pattern. Only a sky burst could.

Now that is not to say that a spaceship caused it!

[RetiredArmy]

Just parts of Moore's next Bush film.

[kjam22]

Blasted it just before it reached earth....

[<1/1,000,000th%]

It's probably a piece of MIR or any of the other lost Russian spacecraft.
