Isn't Tunguska incident basically a meteor hitting in the middle of siberian forest? The only thing that baffles the scientists is that if it did hit something, there would've been a proof of explosion or impact, but it was more like implosion than anything.
Okay, I need Paranormal-GAF to shed some light on this. I'm incredibly skeptic, but one thing that happened to me could make me believe in ghosts. During 6th grade camp we visited a "haunted house" in a large forest. Our teacher told us that the past year someone had taken pictures of the haunted house and a ghost came out in one of the pictures. Sure enough, while walking back to the campsite a girl screamed and showed everyone a picture that she took. It was a picture of the house with a long smoky trail on the inside. It didn't look like anything.
So GAF is there such a thing as a smoke that can only be detected through camera? I remember the girl had diabetes and had to be pulled from the group a lot. Maybe she was being paid and it was all fake? Help GAF!

Yeah, it looks alright, but they barely showed anything in that trailer. I'll give it a chance when it comes out.
When I was younger I had a strange experience, it was quite surreal and more than a little creepy. I don't think it was anything paranormal but I can't really explain it either.
Back when I was on college I used to live alone on a nice big apartment, and it became the meeting point of our gang for the whole duration of my college years.
We used to have movie nights every now and then and on a particular occasion we saw a bunch of stupid asian horror movies. At around 10PM we had already saw 3 movies and were kinda tired. We decided to make some stuff to eat at the kitchen and talked about our personal ghost stories and paranormal experiences. I had nothing to share but my friends had some nice stories to tell.
By 1AM the guys decided to go home, we had classes on the morning. I was kinda dating one of our friends and offered to take her home in the hopes of finally getting an invite to her apartment.
As soon as we got out of the garage I found it really strange that the gate was already open (usually it would stay shut until a car got out of the garage and honked) and that the gatekeeper was nowhere to be found.
We lived on a big city, with about 3 million habitants, it was 1AM of a friday dawn and for the whole duration of the driving I didn't see or encountered a single soul on the street and not a single car passed by us.
We chatted about how odd and unusual it was, probably trying to ease up the tension as it definitely got creepier as we kept driving and no one, no car would show up.
I didn't stop at a single signal. I wasn't really scared per se, but it was quite strange and creepy that we could not find anyone. I took her home as quickly as I could. Usually I would take about an hour, but since the streets were empty I managed to do it in 30 minutes more or less. She was probably spooked and barely said goodbye as she ran to the front door of her building.
On the way back I was still quite amazed that I couldn't find no one. I took a small detour and went through a big avenue with some bars and clubs and every single one of then was fucking closed.
It wasn't any kind of holiday, it was a normal week night and it wasn't really that late (1AM).
I decided to call one of my friends that had went home by their own to ask him about this but he didn't answer his phone. I called another one and he didn't answer either. I called the last one (we were a group of five including me and the girl) and her phone was off or out of signal range.
I began to get a little freaked out that no one would answer or appear so I decided to call my friend/date and ask if everything was alright. She didn't answer her phone as well, and I turned cold probably in fear. She always answered my calls and we used to chat a lot over the phone on late hours. I called a couple times with no answer. Since I wasn't that far away yet from her home I decided to go back.
When I arrived I got out of the car and called her apartment on the interphone. No one answered...she lived with 2 other girls, I ringed a dozen times and nothing.
At that moment when I was completely alone at the street in front of her building I don't know if I kinda panicked, but I felt something really strange, felt really insecure, kinda like in danger so I ran as fast as I could to my car and got the hell out of there.
As I turned the keys I looked up as the car began to move slowly and my heart kinda skipped a beat when I didn't saw a single light turned on the windows of such a big apartment building. I still remember that clearly, it looked like I was alone in the world.
There was still not a living soul in sight on the way home but I didn't take any detours this time, and when I arrived the garage gate was still open just as when I'd left.
I rushed towards the elevators and locked every single door of the apartment including myself inside the bedroom.
I seriously thought of calling my parents but the fear that they might not answer the phone like my friends made me not do it.
I laid on my bed locked in my room with the lights on for some time trying to think of things to take my mind out of that strange occurrence and suddenly I got the biggest scare on my whole life to this day.
The god damn fucking TV turned on by itself making me literally jump out of the bed. I don't think there was anything paranormal with the TV turning on by itself as it had done it a couple times already during the day or night. It was a really old SD TV. But why the hell it had to do that right at that moment???
Needless to say I was scared shitless and couldn't sleep. When the morning came I was so exhausted that I skipped classes. When I finally managed to talk to my friends they said that they had seem people on the streets when they left and everything was normal.
My girl friend said that it was kinda scary but it probably was just a coincidence. She said she didn't hear me inter phoning her apartment because she took some pills to sleep.
The gatekeeper admitted to having slept with the gate open on that night, but really what are the odds of you going out at 1 AM on a city with 3 million people and not finding any one on the street???
I never experienced anything like that again, and once or twice I got out on the streets really late trying to see if I would find anyone and everything was normal. I now live in a city with just 100K habitants, and after seeing a movie called Vanishing on 7th Street that remembered me of that night I got out at 4AM and still could find cars on the street and a 24 hours convenience store open on such a small town...what happened that night? I was out for more than an hour I should have seen someone or some place open.
The damn TV still turned on by itself every now and then until I finally got rid of it.
Nowadays is kinda cool to remember that night, but frankly I hope I never experience anything like that again.
Sorry for the wall of text but I felt like sharing.

You know radiation levels (i.e. UV exposure) are higher as altitude increases, right?
I love the theory that a black hole passed through Earth...

That was a cool story. Since its actually believable, not some crazy my dad is posessed and was floating around the room nonsense.
And while there is no doubt in my mind it was just a coincidence. I can't deny that I would have been freaked out too. I had one of those TVs that turned on randomly too. I wonder if there's an explanation for why they malfunction that way.
Edit: I was quoting that long story but it didnt work. Also this double post was caused by paranormal factors and will be forever unexplained so don't question it.

No I didn't know that. I guess that explains that part.
It didnt answer why investigators measured radiation in the first place though. How was that even relevant?
Sutton Dagger

Or that the gas mantles used in the lanterns contained thorium?
There really isn't anything 'mysterious' about this incident.
Sutton Dagger

Why would it not be relevant? Investigators are trying to determine the death of nine people where the cause of death is not immediately known.
ShadyLurker

I dunno, if you find skiers dead of what appears to be hypothermia, why measure radiation? It's just seems so random to even check for that. I don't think it's standard procedure.
Also just to be clear, I don't think anything paranormal happened nor do I believe it ever has. I'm just trying to figure out the investigators rationale.

the theory is that the meteor exploded in the atmosphere, leaving no impact crater.

damn this thread is good nothing better then reading this type of stories
If I were alone for the first half of the way (until my friends house) I would probably think by now that it was just a dream or that I was a little drunk since we had been drinking during the movies. I used to have alcohol amnesia a lot when I was younger and drank more.
But since there was some one with me for a time, I think my mind just burned that memory as something "real" while it obviously was just a bizarre coincidence.
Still, I'll never forget when I panicked in front of her building, when I looked up already inside of the car and didn't saw a light on any of the windows and thought for a moment "Am I really completely alone???" and when the fucking TV turned on.
I told my parents this story some time later and they seriously asked me if I was doing drugs! Lol!
Wouldn't you think investigators with experience with mountain conditions would have that knowledge about UV exposure and altitudes? All it would take is the investigators' boss to go "Oh yeah, since we're classifying this as a "D level--unknown cause case", be sure to take the extra Geiger counter with you and do a couple of sweeps."

Is dying of radiation exposure at high altitudes actually a thing though? I'm not saying you're wrong, I've just never heard anything like that, as I mentioned before.
That's quite strange, I had a series of hallucinations one night after taking a large amount of extascy and making my self faint.
The most vivid was the forest I was standing in (pitch black middle of the night) was suddenly a clearing surrounded by a ring of trees and from the tree line two dark figures appeared and progressively got closer.
A Victorian couple walking a dog.
I am quite disturbed by your story.
Who knows what investigators would look for? What we CAN say, though, is that if a college kid like me knows that radiation is up there, then they probably know it too.
I mean, if the options are:
1. They know how to do their job, doing various tests they would on any body. After all, this was a death/possible murder investigation. They likely did many, many tests. It's just RADIATION is a freaky buzzword, not as scary as "hypothermia due to poor skin coverage."
2. They don't know how to do their job and mysteeeeeeeerious radiation was found this one time only and they've never known about altitudes and UV rays and the dangers those present despite that being easily found with a google search.
It's probably 1.
Besides, it wasn't the radiation that killed the hikers, it was exposure (and apparently fatal injuries). And there's nothing mysterious about that--people die all the time on mountains from both.
We'll probably never know for SURE, but even if the radiation is higher than usual, that could really just mean that the area has a weaker ozone layer. Or that there were inexplicably close to the surface radioactive rocks. Or you can believe the conspiracies that the Soviet army was testing radioactive weapons and they got too close.
Either way, the area is unsafe and the government saying "don't go there" isn't really that mysterious.

When I was younger and after my grandmother died I woke up late at night to the sound of her calling my name from downstairs. I went towards it at first because I wasn't afraid and felt comforted, but all I saw when I got to the to the stairs was darkness below. Then I bolted right back to bed =/.

I suppose you're right. Just a weird sequence of events that appears creepy and mysterious at first glance but not after some examination. I had no idea about the thing about people with hypothermia stripping off clothes.
I suppose the girl missing her tongue just had it eaten out of her mouth by some animal, that'd be a creepy find though.
between that and humans naturally walking in circles (when they lack any guides or landmarks), it's amazing that we managed to last this long.

Beyond that, a key principle to keep in mind when trying to explain the details of any recounted story is, "Maybe we don't need to explain that part at all." As far as I can tell, the thing about radioactive clothes and "tanned" bodies all seems to stem from a single newspaper article written decades later. (And they seem to have sourced the claim from a single person.) For my money it's not at all certain that there were any elevated radiation readings.

They revised it to have been a meteor that air burst. There was even a show that showed an experiment of how it would have worked and how it matches.

You most likely had an auditory hallucination caused by grief and being in an altered state of consciousness. When I was a kid the dog I had since I was born got hit by a car. I was so sad that I hallucinated that I saw him walk through the hallway outside my room.
It was kind of like this iirc. Just longer, skinnier and inside a house.
It looks pregnant.

How the fuck was the woman's tongue removed?
Animals, maybe?
It's not like we all have two opposed rows of hard and sharp teeth near the tongue.
Oh wait.

ET why so racist?
The fleshy face is one of the first places roaming animals would eat.
"Woman's tongue removed" doesn't necessarily mean "clean, surgical cut by some weird aliens."
Without a photo, it could easily be some messy, bloody hole left by a roaming bear.

Here is a story from my dad I think you guys will appreciate.
Back in the 80s my dad worked for a company producing cables and communications equipment. The various buildings and offices of the company formed a pretty big site across many acres of land.
In one part of the complex was a large building used for some assembely, but mainly as a storage warehouse (think of the Amazon warehouses- racks of goods ready to be shipped out). Linked off this was a one kilometer long tunnel/corridor, which was used to stretch out cables along a track for testing, probably about eight foot high and six or so wide. One door of the tunnel linked straight to the warehouse, and the other to a small shed, with tools and other odds and ends. The shed had another door which took you outside, but was always kept locked for obvious reasons.
Anyway it was during a night shift that a guy called John was testing out a sample of copper cabling on the track. He was the only person in the tunnel, everyone else being in the canteen/break area at the far end of the warehouse from his perspective (which was the only other way out of the warehouse). The tunnel is fairly well lit, but dim enough that you still required a torch to do any delicate work. John is halfway down the tunnel fiddling with the line of cable when he pauses, looking down to the other end of the tunnel.
He notices that the light in the shed is on (there being an internal window as well as the door), but thinks little of it. Seconds later however he notices the door to the shed swing open, yellow light flooding out. John by this point is a little concerned that kids have broken in, and tries to focus, but can't see anything. Seconds pass when he realises there is something running down the tunnel towards him. Fast. The shillouette of the figure was big, and quickly making ground. John does the honourable thing and craps his pants, drops the torch and starts running for the warehouse, despite by all accounts being six foot tall, and built like a brick shit house, and so could certainly run with some pace.
He starts to look back every few seconds, and far from losing the guy, the figure is still gaining on him, closer and closer, until the last time John looks behind him there is less than 50 metres between them. John bursts through the door into the warehouse, and doesn't stop sprinting until he reaches the canteen area.
Of course the other nightshift guys are quite bemused by John running over to them in such a hurry, only to see that he is as white as a sheet. They ask what is wrong, and John tells them he has just been chased right down the tunnel by a big bloke.
Still thinking it is a kid, the other guys grab torches and had back down the tunnel with John, thankful for apparent safety in numbers. Very quickly it's obvious that the tunnel is empty, and the lights are once more switched off in the shed. Laughing, thinking that John has been spooked by some local kids, everyone soon goes quiet when the external door in the shed is found to still be locked from the inside.
After that no one dared work in the tunnel on their own anymore.
I have one or two more from that place if anyone is interested.

Yes, I do know that there are animals out there that do exactly that.
So if you had to choose between :
1. Known and observable animal behavior throughout the world.
2. Must be aliens.
Which would you choose?

No, I did not say "only remove tongues", do not put words in my mouth. I said:
"What, you know exactly what a roaming animal would do? What if it heard a noise? What if it only wanted what it could carry back to its nest?"
Two scenarios already that would explain why only one part would be removed.
and I also said:
"The fleshy face is one of the first places roaming animals would eat.
"Woman's tongue removed" doesn't necessarily mean "clean, surgical cut by some weird aliens."
Without a photo, it could easily be some messy, bloody hole left by a roaming bear."
I'm not going to google up gross images for you. You can look up "half eaten face" and "scavenger" and "bear" or whatever animal you want if you MUST see pictures of this.
Besides, you're the one making claims of this being unexplainable. The better question is why you would think a human body left alone in the mountains would NOT attract scavengers?

You're not connecting the dots and I'm not gonna bother repeating myself.
Come on dude...that's a bit of a cop out there.
Did you even read all the details?
Dubunina was found TWO MONTHS later. How long, do you estimate, would it take for a dead human body to be found by scavengers?
Or, if you still refuse to accept that possibility, then:
