One hundred years ago, a huge object entered the Earth's atmosphere and exploded about six miles above the Stony Tunguska River area in Siberia. Since then the event has remained shrouded in speculation, mystery, rumor and outright fantasy.

Since this occurred in such a huge and inhospitable region, with a very small population, it was not until many years later that it was generally known that this was caused by a fiery object that flew from the southeast to the northwest before exploding at 7:17 a.m. local time on June 30, 1908.
