Summary: Not bad...vague, but thought-provoking.
Comment: Seeing as how the authors had to scour Soviet-era records and sift through eyewitness accounts from newspapers of the time, they managed to get just enough information together to make a reader ask questions--and maybe get a goosebump or two.
In 1908 (not 1909...'Ghostbusters' was sooooo wrong!), a meteor was spotted flying over the Tunguska region of Siberia. The locals saw it, watched it come down, felt the sonic booms of its passage . . . then watched it change its course one hundred-eighty degrees in mid-flight. The object then exploded, causing damage to the landscape and injuries to people that would not be seen, explained, or understood until the Hiroshima and Nagasaki blasts nearly forty years later. The heat and concussion from the blast were felt well over sixty miles away.
What happened? What was it? Nobody knows for sure, but with the tantalizing tidbits found herein, you'll have your own ideas. The authors don't say definitely what it was, but they have their opinions, which they offer alongside others they've encountered along the way, from Russian geologists and meteorologists to conspiracy-theorists.
Feel like having your beliefs tweaked or your confident views on alien life shaken up? Pick this one up.
