Tunguska event was on June 30, 1908.

This may be from a field of asteroids that we pass through every 112 years.

‘over Tokyo’

Did the tiniest teacup even rattle ???

"The biggest estimate is brightness to mass"

The posted excerpt was: A few seconds before it fizzles out.

Fizzles out does not indicate a 165 ton TNT atmospheric explosion.

Yep I saw the East Coast one in the 60’s. We all followed the trail thinking it came down nearby. Actually, it exploded over Alaska.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

:-D

Cool :)

Steve seems very down to earth. He was a fireman for a short while I am pretty sure.

The plot is absurd but (some of) America loves a bunch of misfits who come together to save the country :)

It sounded to the Japanese like 1,000 B-29 bombers flying overhead.
