A look at the Tunguska event, 100 years (and 9 days) after it happened. Meteor? Comet? UFO? Evenki thunder god? Nikola Tesla’s death ray? To a lesser extent, the show also covered some other Soviet/Russian UFO events.
A large chunk of the backing music was 833-45’s Tunguska, which may be my favorite netlabel release so far this year. There were also some various other Tunguska-named netlabel songs played as well.
Tossed in some Tuvan throat singing as well. Why not? Tuva’s not horrifically far from the blast site, and Tuvans and Evenks are both Altaic peoples.
Came off pretty well for getting the idea for it about two hours before showtime.
And then, while driving home, I learned about the aliens that Richard Nixon took Jackie Gleason to see on Coast to Coast.
