The facts justifying the connection are given by Siberian Fan Reliefs and the Tunguska Cosmic Body. It is most natural to assume that we are dealing with the falling of numerous fragments of a collapsed comet. The more likely version is that the comet is captured by the Earth-Moon system and remains in Earth orbit for some time.展开更多

A hypothesis has been put forward that the Tunguska Cosmic Body was an ice comet and its fall was accompanied by the fall of smaller fragments, whereas the TCB and fragments fell from intermediate Earth orbits. This explains all the observed phenomena without exception, including those that occurred long before the catastrophe. In this paper, we present eyewitnesses’ reports and objective materials obtained in the event area and confirming the TCB passage in the direction from West to East. The western trajectory has been traced for 3500 km from the Volga to the Lower Tunguska. We have carried out a detailed analysis of the eyewitnesses’ reports revealing the circumstances of passage of a huge fireball. We provide criticism of trajectories constructed without taking new information into account. We have estimated the energy released during this event and determined the mechanical properties of the comet matter. Science may obtain with new objects to study the direct impact of the comet matter on the Earth’s surface. This may be useful for evaluating the comet-related hazard.展开更多

This paper considers the events preceding the June 30 catastrophe. Identified are the Tunguska Cosmic Body orbital parameters and the factors resulting in the falling. The information from the Mount Wilson Observatory is provided, which confirms the fact that Tunguska Cosmic Body was in near-Earth orbit. The circumstances surrounding Tunguska Cosmic Body entry into near-Earth orbit are reviewed, and the event timing is identified. Substantiation is proposed of the relationship between Tunguska Cosmic Body and Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann. As to the Tunguska Cosmic Body breakup circumstances, the structure and the properties of its materials are proposed.展开更多
