The Tunguska Event, a mysterious explosion over the Tunguska River in 1908, has sparked many speculations as to its cause (A meteor? A Tesla experiment gone wrong? A natural gas explosion?). But this one takes the cake for its sheer weirdness:
Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation, insists that an alien spacecraft sacrificed itself to prevent a gigantic meteor from slamming into the planet above Siberia on June 30, 1908.
Most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin thinks quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site are remnants of an alien control panel, which fell to the ground after the UFO slammed into the giant rock.
"We don't have any technologies that can print such kind of drawings on crystals," Labvin told the Macedonian International News Agency. "We also found ferrum silicate that can not be produced anywhere, except in space."

On a TV, if you illuminate one pixel then illuminate the one next to it, it appears as though the image is moving. If you do the same thing but skip to every second or third pixel, the image appears to be moving faster. Every tenth pixel, the image shoots across the screen. Nothing is actually changing speed; we just see the gap increase.
If you had a laser beam strong enough to be visible after reflecting off the moon, and you moved the beam from one part of the moon to the other, it would take about 2.5 seconds for you to see the beam move on the moon's surface.
That's the amount of time for the beam to reach the moon, and return.
When the person moves the laser, the photons that are currently arriving at the moon do not move.
The photons exiting the laser take over a second to get to the moon, and arrive at the second location.
Take a hose and spray something far from you. Then flick your wrist and aim to another spot on the driveway. It takes a second for the water exiting the hose to catch up to the new target. Same idea.
This guy isn't that smart.
