Look up iron silicate – it’s a naturally occuring mineral. “ferrum silicate” is very goofy, probably a mangled translation.

Atrueoriginall got it right in the second comment from the top. In June 2009, Cornell scientists confirmed the Tunguska event was caused by a comet. See http://thefutureofthings.com/pod/7494/tunguska-mystery-solved.html and Atrueoriginall’s link at http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/06/nasa-space-shuttle-solves -mystery-of-earths-greatest-explosion-the-1908-tunguska-event-in-siber ia.html

Wow! Blame it on the UFO’s for saving the earth. Great explanation.

I would love to sit down and meet some of these people who purport such outlandish theories. It’s one thing to challenge the status quo, but you need solid facts first. I mean honestly, what is going through their heads?

It was Tesla trying out one of his inventions that caused this.

I like how they use something found on a space rock as evidence for a space craft…because you know, meteorites could never contain things only found in space without the help of an alien.

That’s “shoddy” journalism”, D.

…and just where is the pic of said markings? This article’s subject was more about the alien markings than Tunguska itself but why do the freakin report if you don’t have a picture of the markings. Shotty journalism rides again.

What makes him think the alien sacrificed itself? Seems like a much more likely assumption would be that it would have hit the meteor by accident.

This Kook made it to Fox News? I don’t know who to feel more embarrassed for!

Here’s Labvin’s thought process
1) “I found weird rocks!”
2) “Therefore, an alien space-craft flew between the meteor and earth, and saved us all”

Russia, home of the 5 minute doctorate.

Alex, you should go there and get a doctorate in spatial fictitiousness.

You’re running about a month behind on info. The answer to how it happened was already solved.

Looks like Fox News has a bit of confusion with the words “meteoroid” (in space), “meteor” (in atmosphere), and “meteorite” (hits the earth). How can a meteorite explode “above the surface”?
