Aliens Saved the Planet from a Meteor in 1908

We’re all alive today because an alien saved the planet from destruction by meteor crash in 1908 – or at least that’s what Dr. Yuri Labvin, president of the Tunguska Spatial Phenomenon Foundation believes. Fox News (yeah) recently reported on Dr. Labvin’s theory that a UFO deliberately crashed into a meteor above Siberia 100 years ago.

From Treehugger:

The event that Dr. Labvin is referring to is the Tunguska event, a mysterious blast that downed over 80 million trees for 100 square miles. Eyewitnesses reported a bright light and a huge shock wave, but the area was so sparsely populated no one was killed. Occam’s razor comes in handy here – most scientists think the blast was caused by a meteorite exploding several miles above the surface. But Labvin goes one step beyond, pointing to some quartz slabs with strange markings found at the site. Obviously, they are parts of an alien control panel which fell to the ground after the aliens hari-karied themselves into the giant rock. You know, when they killed themselves to save us. You still here?

Universe today puts quite a bit of this nonsense to rest. For starters, this isn’t the first time a UFO has been associated with Tunguska; in 2004, a different scientific expedition found a supposed “extraterrestrial technical device” at the site, but no subsequent reports or analysis were revealed. Assuredly it’s in a huge Russian government warehouse next to the bright yellow surplus cheese. Lavbin says these quartz stones when put together form a map; maybe even… part of a navigational system of a spaceship. Universe today classifies this as sounding a little bit like pareidolia where random images seem significant – the man in the moon, the virgin mary on a piece of toast, that kind of thing.

Like aliens would want to save us. They just want to invade our bodies and take over our planet. However, this does sound like a premise for a vapid summer blockbuster. Expecting a Michael Bay-directed trailer in 5… 4… 3… 2…
