This article has links to a few others: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7470283.stm The BBC site notes the butterfly pattern of flattened trees seen in 1938 aerial photos, without associating that feature with a shallow impact trajectory. -------------------- 'these things stand like stone - kindness in another's troubles, courage in your own' Gordon Post Extras:       Dick Lipke super member Reged: 02/20/07 Posts: 115 Loc: Marine City,Mich.

I feel this maybe a mystery that will remain unsolved for a while to come. It was a front page article on Yahoo's Home Page Today. So there still appears to be a lot of interest in the event. Even those who arent inclined to take interest in meteorites and observing seem to stop and read an article about an event like Tunguska. -------------------- Todd C.
