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.

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.

Hard to tell, they have similar standards for veracity.

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

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.
