Cornell researchers found a similarity between the night-lighting clouds created after the launch of space shuttles, and the bright clouds that illuminated all of Europe after the Tungaska event, and concluded that the source was water vapor, and in 1908 these reached the upper atmosphere as a result of the breakup of a comet
The event in 1908 has always provided mystery and excitement because no one has been able to fully explain how the trees were flattened in an area of about 1,300 square kilometers of Siberian forest. However, recent studies have concluded that the explosion at Tongska was almost certainly caused by a comet that entered the Earth's atmosphere.
Cornell University researcher Michael Kelly arrived at this conclusion in an interesting way. He analyzed the noctilucent clouds left behind by the exhaust plumes of the space shuttle boosters.
It's like solving a century-old murder mystery, said Kelly, the engineering professor who led the research team. The evidence clearly shows that the Earth was hit by a comet in 1908. Previous estimates ranged from comets to meteors.
The nocturnal clouds are bright clouds that are visible at night and are made of ice particles. They form only in high latitudes where the temperature is also very low. These clouds appeared the day after the Tongska explosion and they also appear following space shuttle launches.
The researchers estimate that enormous amounts of water vapor were ejected into the atmosphere from the comet's ice core and swirled thanks to the enormous energy created in the process known as a two-dimensional vortex, which explains why they were created only a day after the event and at a distance of thousands of kilometers away.
The glowing clouds at night are the highest clouds on Earth. They are formed naturally in the mesosphere, at an altitude of about 90 km above the polar regions during the summer months when the temperature of the mesosphere is about 117 degrees below zero.
The space shuttle's exhaust plume, the researchers say, is reminiscent of the action of a comet. One shuttle emits about 300 tons of water vapor into the atmosphere when it takes off, and these water particles move to the Arctic and Antarctic regions, where they form clouds after settling in the atmosphere. Kelly and his colleagues saw the phenomenon days after the launch of the shuttle Endeavor for mission STS-118 on August 8, 2007. Similar phenomena were seen before after launches in 1997 and following the launch of Columbia in 2003.
Following the Tungaska event, the sky shone brightly for several days in all of Europe, in particular in Great Britain, from a distance of over 5,000 km from the place. Kelly said he was impressed by the eyewitness accounts of those present at the time, and concluded that the sky had become clear due to the phenomenon of glowing clouds at night. The comet probably began to disintegrate at high latitudes and they released the exhaust plume in a manner similar to that of the space shuttle. In both cases, the water vapor was injected into the atmosphere. The scientists tried to answer the question of how the water vapor traveled such a great distance without dispersing and absorbing, as conventional physics would have predicted.
"There must be a way of transportation to transport the material thousands of kilometers in a very short time, and there is no model that predicts this," Kelly said. "This is completely new and unfamiliar physics."
Apparently the means of transportation of the water for long distances are the eddies that move against the direction of the earth's movement with high energies. After the water is caught by such a vortex, it moves at a speed of about 350 km per hour.

Hanan,
What characterizes your and Gillian's responses, is that any scientific research that contradicts your religious belief (the religion of aliens and conspiracies), is immediately defined with the most arrogance and brazenness, as baseless nonsense.
You never bothered to reason on what basis you are killing the opinions of respected scientists (and comments 9 and 10 are just a small example of this), but this is of course typical of religious people, who know the absolute truth, and anyone who disagrees with their opinion is necessarily talking nonsense.
It's funny, and maybe rather pathetic, to hear from you what science is.
Hanan:
Another hint: in science there are no proofs.
Your response is offensive to the fact that theories are brought up without proof and indicates the one and only fact that can be deduced from your words and that is that you do not know what science is.
It is precisely this fact that we referred to.
Hanan:
Hint: In the comments of the Heizrists to which we responded, no fact is stated.
Hanan:
You and Gillian have a tendency to say that your every claim is "as always".
In other words, not only does the mistake you mistakenly attribute to us appear in the current answer, but every claim you have against us - whether justified or not (as always) - does not characterize only the last response but all of our responses.
And in relation to our recent responses - would it be helpful if you mentioned which facts you brought up that we are ignoring?
How do you conclude from them that science serves as a religion for us?
I wonder what outside the walls of the academic institutions teaches the crowd to be exactly what was predicted in the book "Revolt of the Masses"
Your responses Noam and Michael once again prove in black and white, the unfortunate fact that you have a strange tendency not to discuss the facts but your private beliefs.
Instead of attacking the data, it is easier to attack the one who presents it and of course to play up imaginations as you see fit. Michael Rothschild, for example, is an expert in making arguments that he probably read them in the press or at Zvi Yanai's and turned them into fact (like the ridiculous argument that extraterrestrials have to move faster than the speed of light and therefore they are unable to get here) and Noam probably specializes in channeling theory, after reading the article on Sherry Arison and decided link it to the study of extraterrestrials.
I, on the other hand, claim that it is necessary to conduct in-depth research only on the talkbacks. A quick and skimming study is enough to determine with certainty that there are those who have turned science into a religion and do not even have the slightest idea of what science is, how scientific research is carried out and what the scientific research methods are. Statistically, it is interesting to note that most of these people come from the field of physics for some reason. It is interesting what happens between the walls of the faculties at the Technion and the Tel Aviv University, where the minds of students are fixed and they are made into brain-fixers, just like in the rabbinic courts...
: )
Noam:
You forgot a very important option:
Since these companies know how to fly at a speed that exceeds the speed of light and also know that there is something to look for here when they watch us from vast distances, we can ask them to fly 100 light years away (plus the flight time) from Earth, look at what happened here and come back (very quickly) and tell us.
This, of course, provided that we have a problem with events from a century ago (I understand that there are those who expect the whole world to deny the Holocaust in 36 years, but I don't think that everyone thinks so).
In any case - these words refer to the part that can be deciphered in Gillian's response and not to Hanan's words.
Hanan,
When an event occurs 100 years ago, there are two possibilities:
1) Relying on evidence from 100 years ago, with all the problems involved
2) Communicate with aliens who visited us at that time, and receive reliable information from them.
Could you, with the help of your connections and those of your friends, help with the second option??
For those who have not yet understood that there are no proofs in science:
In science there are no proofs.
Huh, suddenly the evidence from 100 years ago is catching on - very interesting...
It's unpleasant to say, but as usual - material that is located only in the new section of the association's website.
Recycling old news again????
Let's see what we had: a comet, a UFO, a meteor, an asteroid… comet again…..
By and large - again an idle argument without proof!

oak,
Can you prove that the existence of the scientist Nikolay Tesla is nothing but a conspiracy?
(hint: there is a connection between the answer and the electron charge)
oak:
Beyond the fact that it appears in the chapter called "Speculative Assumptions" at the beginning of which it is written that all these assumptions have been rejected by science, in the paragraph dedicated to this very idea it is written that the person who performed the experiment that is claimed to have caused the event did not set out on the path on which he performed the experiment until six days after the Tungaska event.
What is to be explained here?
Besides - the story of the standing trees is a deception because many trees have fallen and the pattern of falling trees has a full explanation that was also tested in an experiment.
Please explain!
oak:
This (strange) idea was disproved by simple considerations of a schedule, as can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event
The event was caused by Nikolay Tesla.
Created an electromagnetic pulse from his facility in New Jersey, which circled Earth and hit Tongska.
This also explains the fact that there is no crater, pit or similar, but only burnt trees
Standing!
Many geological tests conducted on the spot by various expeditions did not reveal any unusual non-spherical material
The earth or has a meteoric composition.
In 1908 Tesla was at the height of his activity in the field of his most important practical research of transmitting electricity wirelessly over long distances.
The commenter Avi is right, although this is a translation error and not a calculation error... please buy the translation.
There is probably an error in the speed calculation!
In the original article it is a speed of 300 feet per second
which is about one hundred meters per second or about 350 km/h
It has long been known that it was caused by a comet, the innovation is only in the matter of the clouds.
