The explosion was 1,000 times stronger than an atomic bomb, making it difficult for experts to explain.
In 1908, an explosion 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima rocked Tunguska, Siberia. The cause of the incident remains a mystery.

On the morning of June 30, 1908, an explosion 1,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan at the end of World War II, was estimated to have caused the equivalent of a magnitude 5 earthquake in the Tunguska region of Siberia.

About 80 million trees across 2,150 square kilometers were felled and the explosion lit up the night sky. Photo: ATI.
Some witnesses reported seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky. A shock wave also appeared, knocking people down and shattering windows hundreds of kilometers away. Photo: ATI. The light from this mysterious explosion could even be seen from afar, including London (UK). Since then, experts and scientists have been trying to decipher the cause of the Tunguska explosion.

The Tunguska explosion that many people witnessed was caused by this meteorite. Photo: Mail Online.
A comet has also been suggested as a possible cause of the Tunguska explosion. Meanwhile, a more bizarre theory suggests that an alien UFO crashed, exploded in mid-air, and crashed in the Tunguska region of Siberia. Photo: Leonid Kulik/Wikimedia Commons. In the early 2000s, Russian researcher Yuri Lavbin claimed to have in his possession a number of strange crystals, believed to be part of an “alien technical device” recovered from the Tunguska explosion. Some of these crystals had strange images and holes in them. Photo: Bologna University/The Siberian Times. Researcher Lavbin's statement has caused a stir in public opinion, sparking debate about the authenticity of UFOs crashing to Earth. Photo: Mail Online.
However, to date, researchers have not found any definitive evidence to help determine the exact cause of the mysterious Tunguska explosion. Photo: origins.osu.edu. Readers are invited to watch the video : Universe map with more than 900,000 stars, galaxies and black holes. Source: THĐT1.
