Comet Hypothesis

The comet hypothesis--also known as the asteroid or meteor hypothesis in some circles--is one theory about the cause of the Tungaska Event. It was formulated by Viktor Ilyich, a prominent 20th-century physicist and astronomer who was present at a site near the explosion when it occurred. Ilyich’s hypothesis, which was acknowledged by many leading scientists of the day, held that the June 30th explosion, the most physically notable feature of the Tungaska Event, was caused by a falling comet or meteor which did not touch the ground. The Comet Hypothesis was the reigning explanation for the cause of the event prior to this paradigm being disproved by the Tungaska Seven’s discovery of the Tungaska Project, and is still popular among those who will not or cannot believe the true details of the Tungaska Project.
