BANG IN RECORDED HISTORY?
Shortly after 7 A.M. on June 30, 1908,
early rising farmers, herdsmen, and
trappers in the sparsely settled
vastness of the central Siberia Plateau
watched in awe as a cylindrical object,
glowing with an intense bluish-white
light and trailing a fiery tail, rived
across a clear blue sky toward the
northern horizon. At 7:17, over it. dce -

no trace of a meteorite to be iri'ti
Nevertheless, for want of a better ex-
planation, scientists continued to
ascribe the cataclysm to a meteorite,
and Leonid Kulik, a mineralogist who
headed government-sponsored ex-
peditions to the Tunguska in the early
1920s and again in 1938-39, searched
for evidence to support this view.
Although this search proved fruit-
less, Kulik uncovered a wealth of in-
formation about the blast. Near the
swamp into which the meteorite had
supposedly plummeted, scorched
trees, striped of branches, still stood,
but around this weird "'telegraph-pole"
forest, except where intervening hills
had shielded them, every tree within
fifty miles had been 'blown flat, its
:,rink pointing away from the swamp.
I?aorn this-and from his failure to find
, t en a small impact crater- Kulik con-
t'uded that the meteorite had never
j, itched the ground but had exploded
tt'.-o or three miles up in the air. The
iesr*'nony of local herdsmen yielded

Could the Siberian blast have been
atomic? In 1958 a Russian engineer-
turned-writer, Aleksander Kazantsev,
published a story-article pinning that
disaster on Martians killed on their
way to Earth by cosmic rays or meteor-
ite bombardment; their ship, with no
one at the controls, hurtles into our at-
mosphere at unreduced speed and
burns up from friction, triggering a
chain reaction in its atomic fuel that
sets off the explosion. Few informed
readers by then still accepted the me-
teorite theory, and some, particularly
younger men and women, found Ka-
zantsev's hypothesis persuasive, but
others rejected it in favor of an earlier
alternate explanation, according to
which the head of a comet had pene-
trated the atmosphere at such high ve-
locity that the heat thus generated had
caused the comet to blowup. (Skeptics
pointed out, however, that a comet
could hardly have approached Earth

During World War II Kulik was

prisoner. The riddle he had worked to

ere abruptly reminded of it by the
