Re:I've always wondered (Score 1)

Speaking of Carl Sagan and his book Cosmos here is what he concluded about the Tunguska Cosmic Body (TCB): "The key point of the Tunguska Event is that there was a tremendous explosion, a great shock wave, an enormous forest fire, and yet no impact crater at the site". Someone in a post in this same thread mentioned conventional theory. Everyone seems to believe that because there is no crater or no immediate evidence of a body they assume that the TCB must have been destroyed in the enormous explosion. The question no one has asked is: Obvious question 1: What if the reason there is no crater might be becasue the TCB was not destroyed in the blast? Some people might now think that question is unconventional or unscientific and perhaps is the reason why no one asks it. Others may not and so lets continue with the next obvious (to some) question: Obvious question 2: If the TCB was not destroyed then might it still be in the vicinity of the earth? Which leads to the next obvious (to some) question. Obvious question 3: Does that mean that some people might have seen the TCB since the initial blast? and the next: Obvious question 4: If they saw the TCB would they know what they were looking at? Finally an answer from the Russian Newspaper Sibir in the town of Irkutsk printed the week of the blast: 'in the village of Nizhne-Karelinsk in the northwest high above the horizon, the peasants saw a body shining very brightly -(too bright for the naked eye) with a bluish white light. It moved vertically down-wards for about ten minutes. The body was in the form of a 'pipe' (i.e. cylindrical). The sky was cloudless, except that low down on the horizon in the direction in which this glowing body was observed; a small dark cloud was noticed. It was hot and dry and when the shining body approached the ground it seemed to be pulverized and in its place a huge cloud of black smoke was formed and a loud crash, not like thunder, but as if from the fall of large stones, or from gunfire, was heard. All the buildings shook and at the same time, a forked tongue of flame broke through the cloud. The old women wept, everyone thought that the end of the world was approaching." which leads to the next obvious question: Obvious question 5: Has anyone seen a cosmic body like this since 1908? Check out this web site and look at the last video number 5: http://www.hbccufo.org/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1345 Amazing eh! If you are the unconventional sort who is brave enough to find answers to those more obvious (to some) questions then perhaps you might read this: http://ablebodiedman.blogspot.com/ I think Carl Sagan was right when he said: "Somewhere something incredible is waiting to be known." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/c/carlsagan101620.html Which leads to the next obious question: Obvious question 5: Am I unconventional or is everyone else? best regards ablebodiedman
