The Tunguska explosion shocked Siberia.

On June 30, 1908, a massive explosion rocked the skies over Siberia, flattening 80 million trees and sending shockwaves across continents—yet no impact crater was ever found. In this gripping episode of "The Conspiracy Tapes", host Ryan Martin dives into the baffling mystery of the Tunguska Event, the most powerful explosion in Earth’s modern history. Was it a comet? An asteroid? Or something far more secretive?

We explore every angle—from early eyewitness accounts and the eerie "Kulik's telegraph poles" to the mind-blowing theories of Zdenek Sekanina and the comet-vs-asteroid debate. Could Tunguska have been a natural nuclear-like explosion, or even a misidentified alien impact? You’ll hear about strange soil particles, microdiamonds, and why some scientists compare Tunguska’s aftermath to nuclear test sites—but with no radiation.

This episode breaks down scientific analysis, space impact theories, and geopolitical consequences—all in a clear, engaging style for truth-seekers, science lovers, and conspiracy explorers. Whether you're fascinated by cosmic phenomena, unexplained explosions, or historical mysteries, this deep-dive delivers the facts and the unknowns that keep experts guessing.
