It was June 30th 1908. In the early morning hours, a 70 meter object traveling at about 60,000 miles per hour, airburst over a largely unpopulated region of Siberia. It flattened 2,000 square kilometers, set fire to over a thousand, and ignited clothing more than 350 miles from the epicenter.

The Tunguska event took place on the morning of June 30th, 1908. An explosion estimated to be equivalent to 10-15 megatons of TNT flattened 500,000 acres of pine forest near the Stony Tunguska River in central Siberia. Whole herds of reindeer were destroyed. The explosion was heard over a radius of 620 miles. When an expedition

was made to the area in 1927 to find evidence of the meteorite presumed to have caused the blast, no impact crater was found. When the ground was drilled for pieces of nickel, iron, or stone, the main constituents of meteorites, none were found down to a depth of 118 feet.
Many explanations have been given for the Tunguska event. The officially accepted version is that a 100,000 ton fragment of Encke's Comet, composed mainly of dust and ice, entered the atmosphere at 62,000 mph, heated up, and exploded over the earth's surface creating a fireball and shock wave but no crater.
Alternative versions of the disaster see a renegade mini-black hole or an alien space ship crashing into the earth with the resulting release of energy.
Associating Tesla with the Tunguska event comes close to putting the inventor's power transmission idea in the same speculative category as ancient astronauts. However, by looking at the above chronology, it can be seen that real historical facts point to the possibility that this event was caused by a test firing of Tesla's energy weapon.
( from Nikola Tesla's Long Range Weapon by Oliver Nichelson )
What I propose is the possibility that both of these sources are accurate and the world may have been saved by the firing of Tesla's beam weapon. This could also make sense in light of of Tesla's destroyed career if there really were those who were planning on the impact of this comet with Earth as Hoagland proposes at the end of the article above:
someone wants disaster, and has quietly been planning for "success."
Oliver Nichelson calls it a 'test firing' but could it be that one of the reasons for Tesla's destroyed career was because he would not allow the destruction of human civilization?
