Over a hundred years after the fact, this story is still making headlines and the mystery has never really been solved to the satisfaction of everyone.

Early one morning, on June 30th, 1908, in the Tunguska River Valley, Siberia, Russia, there was an explosion with such force that it registered on seismic barometers thousands of miles away in England. Eyewitnesses claim to have seen a blue streak rush across the sky just before the impact that was felt by residents hundreds of miles from the site and was reported to have an astounding equivalence to 185 Hiroshima bombs.

Just 40 miles from ground zero, a man sitting on his porch was thrown from his chair. And he claimed the heat from the blast was so intense, he felt like his shirt was on fire. This was his account:

"Suddenly in the north sky… the sky was split in two, and high above the forest the whole northern part of the sky appeared covered with fire… At that moment there was a bang in the sky and a mighty crash… The crash was followed by a noise like stones falling from the sky, or of guns firing. The earth trembled."

It was nearly twenty years later and after one failed attempt to investigate that scientists finally made it to the site. They arrived in the area expecting to find a huge crater and debris from a meteor or comet. But what they found instead has stirred controversy with Ufologists ever since, after a theory developed after World War II that the details of the devastation and aftermath were nearly identical to that of nuclear blasts on Hiroshima. This gave root to the idea that the only thing that could have caused the blast all those years earlier was the crash of a nuclear -powered alien craft. And since, there were secret investigations by Russians where no details were divulged, the debate has been raging ever since. Just what did these investigators find? Check out the video and tell us what you think.

!UPDATE! -
I got an email today of another loud boom. Here is the email.

"Today 12-31-2012 around 12:00 pm a Loud Boom was heard from my house to ten miles away. I called the house down the road to see if he heard and is hard of hearing and he also heard the Boom. My best friend who lives a mile up the road from me called to see if I heard both of them they were 20 minutes apart.
I called my cousin who lives 10 miles away and she also heard both Booms.
There was no smoke that anyone could see. Nothing is on the news. Just wanted to report this to you after reading the article."

"I was googling to see if there was any info on a really loud boom in Union KY (just south of Cincinnati OH) and I came across your sight.

Loud Boom rocks Southeast Ky

A loud boom sound was heard last night (12/01/12) in southeast Kentucky. This was heard in Harlan and Leslie counties,but it is unknown how many other counties or people heard this noise.
The booming sound occurred between 12:00 and 12:30 Saturday night. Some had originally thought that an explosion may have occurred at the Liggett mines but upon further investigation this was not the case.Some people said they felt a little shake to the ground as well.

The Kentucky State Police was contacted but they said didn't have any information on what it was or what caused the loud boom sound.

David Mcgill of Harlan County Emergency Management said "HCEM has not been able to find what caused the boom that happened last night we are continuing to look in to it .."

So what could it have been? well that remains somewhat of a mystery. In the last few weeks Kentucky has had some earthquake activity in this same area. It is somewhat common to hear booms and noise before earthquakes but no earthquake was reported or recorded on this night.
It makes me wonder if this was some kind of prelude to an upcoming earthquake. Also one can probably rule out aircraft due to the large area the unknown sound covered and the high mountain peaks.

Anyone with information on the unknown sound can email  me at thecryptocrew@kih.net

Thanks

UPDATE -  I have now confirmed that this loud boom sound was heard in Bell county,Ky. It was heard in the blackmont area and like others they thought it was a mine explosion. Which was not the case. This Loud boom sound remains a mystery. The loud boon has now been confirmed to be heard in at least 3 counties.
