Summary
In 1908, a huge ball of flame struck Siberian countryside. For the eyewitnesses, it was as if the world was ending, for scientists of the day, a magnificent astronomical event and for the conspiracy theorists a splendid source of weirdness. Seriously tho, it was aslo quite lucky that it fell there, in the middle of nowhere and not, say, on Paris or London or somewhere like that. It’s a cool little story, and I hope you’ll enjoy this one!
