Did a UFO deliberately crash into a meteor to save Earth 100 years ago? That's what one Russian scientist is claiming.
Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the planet above Siberia on June 30, 1908.
The result was was the Tunguska event, a massive blast estimated at 15 megatons that downed 80 million trees over nearly 100 square miles. Eyewitnesses reported a bright light and a huge shock wave, but the area was so sparsely populated no one was killed.
Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are remnants of an alien control panel, which fell to the ground after the UFO slammed into the giant rock.
"We don't have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals," Labvin told the Macedonian International News Agency. "We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space."

indeed.
oh brother.
Ping...
This is supposed to be good news? The Aliens save Earth just so the human population can keep growing to feed the starving masses on Planet Crouton?
Are there any pieces from that UFO?
Another guy that believes in Global Warming I bet.
Good thing Joe Smith didn't find 'em.
He voted for Obama. I’m seriously starting to think they’re putting something in the water.
Even if a UFO did this the total energy yield would be the same. Its like 1 10lb stick of dyanmite or 10 1lb sticks. The fact the rock broke up means nothing.
They must grow some really good pot in the Trashcanistan Republics...
The markings could have been done on earth.
I'm thinking no.
Scotty could drink and fly....or fly and drink.
Someone should tell this guy that smoking crack for 72 hours straight is not a good idea.
How to you say tinfoil hat in Russian?
