This is one of, perhaps the only, Tunguska Event docs I've seen that actually questions the narrative that nobody died in the event. Also certainly one of the only ones that gives significant attention to the accounts of the Evenki people. Most docs focus entirely on Leonid Kulik's investigations, giving only bare lip service to the accounts of the culture and people that were actually there when it happened. Kudos to the filmmakers for that.

This was a world class documentary. Thank you for this, absolutely amazing. One of the most underrated mysteries of all time.

Those mosquitoes were the size of birds at that lake 😂

Id be in a bee suit the whole time.

You can see where the Native Americans came from.

Ooh, Tunguska event, nice. I'm going to need some snacks and a cold drink 😊

Can we just stop and take a moment to appreciate the fact they had reindeer in a helicopter with dude just hanging onto them. Is this a daily thing 😅

I realize this doc is now 16 years old, but I find it amazing that 100 years later there is still physical evidence of the explosion on the ground in the form of the trees laid out in the forest.

These nomads remind me of the otter people from The Pacific west coast of America. The Tlingit I think.

9:03 "Catching a helicopter is like catching a bus around here." I'd also add, "Falling out the 5th story hospital window, is like catching the common cold."

Great video on interesting topic. It was likely an airburst high in the atmosphere, perhaps 30km up. If it was a glancing trajectory, solid material may have skipped back out of the atmosphere and returned to space. As a child I saw such a bolide. It crossed the sky from west to east and exploded on the western horizon. I think it was very high because although it went near overhead there was a condiderable delay before the sonic booms arrived. It was at night with a full moon and it became as bright as day. The whole thing was over in about 15 seconds except for the smoke trail that lingered for some minutes visible in the moonlight. As very spectacular and memorable event In this case it is good they have marked the epicentre of such a momentous event.😮

Fantastic documentary- thank you so much

God, I love this stuff. I'd be all in to go visit that place, but, no way could I handle the skeeters 53:08.

If you come to northern Canada our people will look like them Siberian people

That's about the ONLY way humans will cooperate with each other - when facing an extinction-level event from off-world. Our ON-world problems only make us hate each other.

bro is sassy af

It exploded in the air. The shockwave destroyed the trees. Smaller pieces fell over wider area starting fires.

Big country when a meteor or Comet with the force of a 100 Hiroshima A-Bombs hits the country and nobody finds out about it for 20 years later .

Very watchable with an interesting mixture of the rugged outdoors, facts, fantasy, history, superstition, science & mystery. ❤

Admiral Bird an American explorer was in the north polar region, an acquaintance of his, Nickola Tesla telegraphed him to watch the night sky on that same date of the event, he wanted Bird to watch for an electric effect from his, Teslas, experiment. What a coincidence!

Those are giant horseflies, & there bite hurts like hell - they take a chunk out of your skin. I couldn't stand it there without a full protective suit with totally sealed netting.

Very well done!

In 2013 a meteor exploded in the sky above a town called Chelyabinsk Russia it was all over the news, it blew out windows etc. It was tiny and as far as I know nothing was found of it, well there wouldn't be if it was made of ice. I'd guess that's what happened and as I said if it was a mass of ice it will leave no trace of itself except the damage..

What this documentary taught me is that Hillbillies are Hillbillies no matter where they are 😂😂😂

And I thought some of the places I've been in, fit your bill. A lot of bugs in Glacier Park backcountry.

Billions of people walking around with cell phones and nit one picture aliens

This is a very old video I saw on YT many years ago.

They need to trawl that lake with an underwater metal detector, maybe dive it for a closer look, if they find an anomaly. It’s only 40M deep, it would be cold, but doable with the correct equipment.

Taking your life in your hands with those helicopter rides 😂

Yesss! I knew reindeer could fly! So Santa must be real after all!

So called trees on the bottom of the lake, lol. The silt particles being stirred up were bigger than these so called trees

Nicola tessla did this he was trying to make the sky glow over the north pole people in england say the sky was so bright you could read a news paper.

Nuclear blast didn't have enough destructive force and area lacked the micro evidence. They call other theories "odd ball" even though they don't have evidence to support theirs. 😂😂😂

Hi highly doubt the person selecting the soundtrack for this piece was sober.

Very good, thank you. I wonder if you could also look into the Nicola Tesla experiment in Colorado around the same time. Was it really at exactly the same time, is this an idea or a possibility?

56:06 Jesus these bugs are driving me crazy!

It was a calculation error made by Nicholas Tesla. Word is Vegas a friend on an expedition in North Pole & Tesla was going to show his friend a spectacular display of the possibilities of his Death-Ray. Ol’ Nick made a blunder on the calculations and blew a sizeable hole in the wilds Siberia. Whoopsy daisy

“Real History” opposed to faux history 😂?

I bet if they looked in a ten mile or so radius they would find particals of it.

❤ well done. Like the back stories.

Bizarre this still persists it was a massive gas explosion , and Evenki eye witnesses confirm that and the fact that Tunguska has lower than average iridium levels , 1908 was an unusually hot year in Russia and the permafrost melt was at an abnormal level, the eye witness accounts all say the same thing a loud noise like rolling thunder for 30 minutes before the explosion in the mountain, then a flash in the sky and a great flame shot to earth which took a 70 degree turn as it travelled to earth . What happened was a gas field burst through the permafrost creating the small lake blowing tree stumps miles , the gas in millions of tons burst upwards in the atmosphere and when it hit the ionosphere it ignited and started bursting down towards the surface, the reason it took an almost right angle turn was the jet stream at high altitude bending the gas stream , when the fire neared the surface it ignited millions of ton of gas. No meteorite residue has every been found , no impact crater and no sign of any iridium in any of the Forrest effected from the explosion .

the last few minutes says it all

Wearing short sleeve shirts in an area with trillions of mosquitoes doesn't seem like a good idea.

It was nikola tesla that did that in tunguska.........

It's amazing that after all of these years from the helicopter you can still see signs of the devastation caused by the explosion. Oh also apparently reindeer can fly.

These people crossed the Bering Strait into Alaska Became the 100 million American Indians that were butchered for sport 🇦🇺✌️

In the original book called THE FIRE CAME BY published in the 1970,s Kulik had to endure clouds of huge mosquitos and deadly large Cobra snakes on the Tunguska Plateau.

The actual incident that happened in Tunguska is that according to Billy Meier, there was an extraterrestrial space ship with many people on board. This ship had a malfunction and the they decided to detonate themselves away from population in mid air. They ensured no government of thus earth could find anything about them or their ship.

I'm only like 8 minutes in to this so far, but it kinda feeaks me out cause I just found out I had Prussian ancestors living in Alaska in the late 1800s up to present. I did not know the event happened so recently. 😮

The biggest interdimensional cross rip before the Manhattan cross rip of 1984 😂

wow, this is the kind of documentary making that should be taught in film school

Curious that the person mentioned Mars rocks being basalt. Considering the area where these rocks were found is within the area of the Siberian Traps, which was basalt lava flow, I think they are looking in the wrong direction for the origin.

I saw purple stuff around Tunguska on google images does that count?

My Indigenous people are doing it right. A'ho Hoka Hey ✊

Big rock from the sky airburst would be humble guess or one on Nikola Tesla experiments even he was in a recorded comment about the Tunguska event when asked about it his comment was ........ wooops , who knows guess we never will good people .

Obvious airburst

How do people survive without mosquito netting???? Please tell me! I am itching already!

Please provide audible translation so we could listen as a podcast.

Wow to finally get a look at the place like this is amazing is much bigger than i realized!! also the people are so beautiful and nice 🫶 ✌️

The look and drss like native Americans

Anyone here in the comments besides myself that is in awe of how large Russia is?

This a good documentary but really wish the producers would’ve verbally translated the interviews

28:22 At the age of 58 he joined the army to fight the Germans and died in a German prison camp of typhus 😢😢😢😢😢

1908 - 30. of june - 07.15 lokal time an explosion took place over The Stony Tunguska. Minutes before that a shining cylinder was seen moving north toward the Baikal Sea high obove the surface of the Earth. It changed course to the east-north- east and then to the north-west and came over The Stony Tunguska, where it exploded. On the other side of the world at about 19.00 lokal time Tesla experimentally fired electricity from Long Island New York aimed for the thinley populatet region of Tunguska. Tesla found the result of his experiment way beyond expectations so in 1944 he offered the american government to fry Japan for the sum of 11 million dollars. As a boy I in Reader Digest read the short-story written by a soviet scientist. A spaceship startet from Mars .......... The story is mentioned in the video, so I suggest that you publist it.

When they find my legs , they'll think I was a cyborg.

Funny that a channel called REAL HISTORY has a video about Tunguska has used thumbnail image isn't Tunguska but rather a image of Hoia Baciu forest in Romania,,, I see this a lot.

So there was a meteorite and they extracted a piece of it thinking it was a space ship. Got it.

It seems like the author wasted most of his time hanging out with people who were either straight-up nuts or who wanted to do everything except help him find any answers.

This was very interesting and informative, but It took me about 3 hours to get through it, because every time I heard, "We squeezed into the helicopter, along with 4 reindeer," I had to pause for a laugh break. I pictured the helo pilot yelling out the window, "Tough luck, Santa! Maybe you can convince a medevac pilot to squeeze you in on the next run!"

Is there really still a barren space beneath where the meteor exploded?

That was Gold! The future looks rosy...

“…. a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing…”

Those flies and other bugs are a nightmare!

His car was very cool , why would it need a rear view mirror 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍

This was a disappoint. pretty much a total waste of my time thanks .👎

Great 👍😃😃👍 video 😊😊😊😊😊😊 from Malaysia 🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

I suggest watching Randell Carlson's podcast on the history of Halloween. He deals at length with this subject and presents an intriguing hypothesis.

I'm noticing the narrator's snide remarks about the Soviet Union, that great civilization that instituted universal education among the vast, dirt-poor peasant population, equal rights for women well before the West, vast, sudden industrialization in time for WW II, defeat of Hitler at the cost of 27 million Russian lives, put the first satellite into space, put the first man into space and created such great engineers that they and their creations are helping NASA to this day. Why snipe at the wondrous Soviet accomplishments hinting that the "Party apparatchiks" would disapprove of pilgrimages to Tunguska when, in truth, the Soviet's greatest scientist aided such pilgrimages himself? I do appreciate this documentary but, really, it has a noxious political subtext.

I personally think it was connected to Tesla's wireless technology experiments. Still to this day nobody knows for sure.

So it wasn't Nikola Tesla?

Glad this was pre atom bomb else retaliate. Sounds to me like an air-burst. Check for similarly with other such explosions.

😂😂😂 "Woodstock with horseflies."

Some blame the event on Tesla's death ray overshooting the north pole and landing in Tunguska.

Ok an armed alien spaceship decides to save the earth by destroying a comet 5 miles from the surface. Was it at dinnertime or what?

They found a piece of aluminum from a tractor they thought it was part of the spaceship but it wasn't

If it wasnt for the Chelyabinsk meteor, Tunguska would never have been solved.

The horse flies made it hard to watch,, lol.. Where I live they are like a quarter of the size than those and I cant even take those little ones.

Okay, I don't get it so someone please explain. How can 4 nomads with a couple of reindeer afford to charter a helicopter? How are reindeer valuable enough to justify flying them around in a chopper?

Anti Matter? Have sections of the fallen trees recorded ant radio activity?

I believed the object was a meteor or comet but according to many witnesses, it eventually changed trajectory. celestial bodies don't do that. Had it continued on its original course, it would've detonated over a major urban Euro area.

Never in my life i would set a single toe on that old and Rusty Russian Helicopter.....

What is this all about? A meteor. Ok.

PROBLEM is that there is no real crater, that would be the impact point. Plus they still have not found any fragments of a meteorite

Rocked rural Siberia? No one was around to be affected. Haha.

Happen again, not likely unless Nicola Tesla comes back and plays with another experiment!!!

The trees that remain to this day must be some sort of cedar or something for them to still be so whole.

Bit strange it happened at the same time nikola tesla was demonstrating his energy weapon and pointed it at that place

Tesla's fault

I want to be a hermit in Siberia

It wasent a meteorite or a comet it was an electricel discharge.
