|
An electromagnetic pulse like anomalies were
reported. The magnetic storm began a few minutes after the explosion.
A compass was useless in Irkutsk, 1,000 km away. The explosion was heard 1,000 km away with trees were flattened 30 km from a central point in the Stony Tunguska River Valley. Sides of trees were burned 60 km away. The blast destroyed over 600 square kilometers of forest as the pillar of smoke and dust rose over the area. No crater was found. |
- People were burned and died unusual deaths that are similar to radiation exposures from nuclear blast. The chief of the Tungus people declared the area enchanted and sealed off.
- Both plant and animal life at the epicenter and along the trajectory have been affected genetically. Trees and plants have an accelerated growth rate.
Although there were no meteorite pieces, tiny green globules of melted dust called trinitites were discovered in the area, similar to those produced at the Trinity site of the first atomic bomb test in New Mexico.
