Aliens downed Tunguska meteorite to save Earth

english.pravda.ru — Aliens downed Tunguska meteorite to protect our planet from devastation, stated Russian scientist Yuriy Lavbin. He showed 10 quartz crystals that he found at the place of the meteorite's crash. Several of the crystals have holes in between, so they can be united in a chain.

    • xtrench, on 03/24/2008, -6/+11Why is he being dugg down?
      • boombye, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Because they hate intelligent design theories and aliens.
    • Raziel66, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3I'd love for someone digging you down to offer a good explanation for Tunguska. Last time I checked nothing could be proven with 100% certainty. I still like the antimatter explanation myself.
      • boombye, on 03/31/2008, -0/+1Or they probably think it's just a place from X-Files where they were experimenting with the black liquid virus or whatever that was, like they did with Mulder and Krychek or however you spell his name.
  • alllo, on 03/24/2008, -23/+9It is clear that it was a metiorite. now there is a huge lake in the hole where it crashed the Earth....
    • KennMac, on 03/24/2008, -0/+13Except that it never crashed into Earth, otherwise you wouldn't be spreading ***** on Digg today.
    • Raziel66, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Yeah, there was no crater. Just trees that had been pressed down in a circular pattern as if something had exploded above the ground. Meterorites don't do that.

          It probably comes complete with dust and cobwebs too.
      • IglooBurner, on 03/24/2008, -2/+7show the ancient Greeks a piece of plastic or glass off the monitor our jets uses to navigate, and they'll probably say the same.
        • Ki77erB, on 03/24/2008, -2/+1I dont think they would say that about plastic, since it did not exist in their time.

    • sjbdallas, on 03/24/2008, -22/+5Um....isn't the Stargate a big stone kind of thing? And for that matter isn't the power for it (ZPM?) a crystal? I would think that stones might not be too unrealistic.
      • Bornhuetter, on 03/24/2008, -3/+35You do know Stargate is a TV show, right?

      • stonebear, on 03/24/2008, -1/+14So the alien craft's luxury trim is all that survived? Well that explains it.
        • lotsa1s, on 03/24/2008, -0/+20Lets not dance around the issue here: we now possess alien bling.
    • Azerael, on 03/24/2008, -1/+14The aliens would probably say that about our spacecraft.

          • bbardlbradd, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3We paste tiles onto the bottom of an airplane-like vehicle... Yes, tiles, like the ones on your kitchen floor. TILES. That sounds ridiculous. Also, the top of the craft is cloth...

            Why is it year 2008 and we're taking 20 year old vehicles comprised of tile and cloth into space??? Where are the Corellian YT-1300's?

    • ZenTaz, on 03/24/2008, -1/+10i dont know if you know this but calling quartz a primitive tool is a little off considering we use quartz in everything from clocks to computers to cellphones, infact without quartz we wouldnt have any of the technology we have now, i dont understand why everyone thinks that "more advanced" means more complicated. simplicity is the key
      • tuflus, on 03/24/2008, -5/+7Wow, the ***** factor in your comment is off the charts. We use quartz for many things, that much is true. We DON'T carve quartz and pretend it's an advanced piece of technology.

        Carved stones are NOT useful
        • Shogi, on 03/24/2008, -2/+7Or maybe there is an entire data structure inside the crystals with terabytes worth of information that we can't access because we have only just begun to theorize and experiment with crystalline data storage?

          Please, try to keep your stupidity to yourself.
        • soupdawg30, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Information stored in rocks. I have often pondered the existence.
        • ZenTaz, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4shogi, your the man, keep your mind open tuflus, dont assume we know anything about anything, for everything is possible.
        • bbardlbradd, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1Dude, if these theoretical aliens can find us, travel to us and save us, what makes you think they can't make crystal? If they can do all of that you'd think that they'd have a vast library of "known" information that was correct and they could construct crystal in a way that can record data. I don't mean a terabyte, I mean more information than all of the hard drives and memory in the word can hold. Crystalline trinary (+1, 0, and -1) is greater than magnetic binary (0 and 1).
        • altf13, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Fine, but then why the crappy "carvings" on the outside... my home-made CDs have better labels.
      • dissurmom, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3I work for a company that makes SAW's (Surface Acoustic Wave devices)... We use quartz for our substrate material because of it's piezoelectric properties. It's really amazing stuff. Who would think that a lowly rock would allow us to take a digital signal, propagate it across a piece of quartz as a analog signal, thereby filtering unwanted frequencies and then convert it back into a digital signal.

        Silly person... Quartz is one of the most advanced materials we know of.
    • michael43, on 03/24/2008, -1/+5Fred Flintstone was the Captain and Barney Rubble was Chief Engineer
      • Supurcell, on 03/24/2008, -0/+7I highly recommend his book "The Yabba Dabba Do's and Don'ts of Faster Than Light Space Travel".
    • DemonWasp, on 03/24/2008, -2/+7Is it just me, or is a map that's literally carved into stone going to get outdated pretty fast, particularly compared with the time required to cross interstellar distances?
      • sjbdallas, on 03/24/2008, -2/+2Maybe it originally was some kind of fancy sand castle kind of thing that was like the equivilant of an LCD but with sand. And after all these years, it hardened to rock.
    • nomadxx7, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4I'd have to agree with ZenTaz. I know people will say Superman wasnt a documentary but hell he grew a whole house out of a damn crystal. Just because we think silicone and nano-technology is what the whole universe is using for advanced technology one doesn't realize the power crystals may have in outer space. Hell maybe it is a navigation system or spacecraft running board lights. Who the hell knows. Just because we are masters of the universe, I'm pretty sure somewhere out there that aliens are using items we think as junk to power stuff for more advanced than we realize
      • bbardlbradd, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Like power their brains with our feces?
    • VitriolAndAngst, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1I can imagine that the aliens decorated with quartz -- I'm sure that's where earth got the "BeDazzler." And of course, you have to buy another one for enough rhinestones. But, couldn't the other explanation for quartz with holes in it be a primitive necklace? Is that so hard to imagine?

      All kidding aside; If there are aliens, than staying in the background unless humans are going to wipe ourselves out makes sense. This might explain the "no reports of aliens" and "no enslavement by extraterrestrials." with an impossibly huge universe and no signs of other life. Advanced life forms probably decided to not scare the kiddie races long ago. This would also explain why so many UFOs seem to appear over new military bases or around nuke projects -- just to see that some idiot doesn't destroy the planet.

      But the quartz objects -- unless you find embedded holograms, it's kind of a stretch. I'm keeping an open mind, but so far, no real evidence here.

      ... or you'd think, with an advanced intelligence, they'd do something like add a harness, attach to the Asteroid, and then use their engines to divert its course. I'd think a space ship would be able to divert an asteroid better with engines better than to be used as a Kamikaze attack. But, who knows if an alien race that could cross intergalactic space would be smarter than this particular Russian?

  • bgrah449, on 03/24/2008, -2/+80I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelin was wet, I slippped, hit my head on the edge of the sink. And when I came to, I had a revelation, a vision, a picture, a picture in my head. A picture of this!
    • offspring06, on 03/24/2008, -4/+27The flux capacitor.
      • falstaff, on 03/24/2008, -1/+12I'm sorry, you forgot to phrase your answer in the form of a question. That's going to cost you $800.
      • Jeffler, on 03/24/2008, -2/+4GREAT SCOTT!
  • nekochan, on 03/24/2008, -3/+50in the words of another user in another article,

    "dugg for being ***** crazy"
  • LiquidIse, on 03/24/2008, -0/+8Wow... somebody get this man a CSS book
  • kingofinternet, on 03/24/2008, -0/+16Pravda and the Daily Mail trailblazers in journalism!
    • sagat, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Nah Pravda is Pulitzer worthy next to the effing Mail.

    • beankitty, on 03/24/2008, -2/+3+1
    • trollzor, on 03/24/2008, -4/+2Don't thank Xenu, thank the moon's gravitational pull.
    • BradBrown, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5Forget Xenu - I'm sure it was Tom Cruise who gave the official order to save our planet.
      • bbardlbradd, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5Because a Scientologist knows... that he's the only one that can /really/ help.
    • RedStarRizing, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1ahem - that will be $5,000,000 plz

  • ManHammer, on 03/24/2008, -0/+33I'll ask about this during my next anal probe....
    • itsgotyou, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5Great. How does Tuesday sound to you? 8:30ish? Same abandoned dirt road. Mkay.
  • lnxfi, on 03/24/2008, -1/+20Oh... it's not from The Onion. I guess they just hand job titles out over there.
  • uncoveror, on 03/24/2008, -0/+24Old joke from Soviet Russia: A man goes up to a newsstand and asks, "Do you have any Pravda today"? The newsman answers, "No, no Pravda today" It is funny because Pravda means "the truth". He has none of that. Also, Pravda was probably the only newspaper he had to sell.
    • protoopus, on 03/24/2008, -0/+6there was also the saying, "no pravda in izvestia, and no izvestia in pravda" (izvestia=news).
      • timthe1st, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3Dam, you made that comment first;( I was about to make it
    • dissurmom, on 03/24/2008, -1/+2No the truth in news, and no news in the truth?
      • Atomic05, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Which means almost no truth could be found in the government controlled news, and everyone already knew the truth behind it anyway. Somewhat less obvious if you put it that way.
  • scy1192, on 03/24/2008, -8/+12In Soviet Russia, aliens save YOU!
    • nardokid, on 03/25/2008, -1/+1whats up with all the unoriginal soviet Russia jokes. It's really lame.
  • footbag01, on 03/24/2008, -7/+3[remove tinfoil hat] I believe him.
  • megapeg, on 03/24/2008, -3/+19Oh, for the love of Xenu. This ***** is making it to the front page?
  • sindex, on 03/24/2008, -4/+31This is *****. Everyone knows Tunguska was Tesla's doing.
    :)
    • Arnos, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Mmmmmm Death Ray Towers FTW!!!!!
      • bbardlbradd, on 03/24/2008, -2/+1It's called a Tesla Coil.
        • Raziel66, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2He also worked on a death ray which is not the same thing as a tesla coil. Thus the reason for a different name.
    • WinBear, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1I'm reading Callahan's Key right now.
  • MadScientist420, on 03/24/2008, -2/+7That was nice of them...
  • laserblazer, on 03/24/2008, -1/+11The secrecy, the anal probes... Republican aliens I dare say.
  • adml_shake, on 03/24/2008, -1/+18"the stones used to be a part of the navigational system of a spaceship"

    Someone has been watching to much SG-1
  • benbfree, on 03/24/2008, -1/+26Pravda, the most trusted name in news. :)
    • PolishLogic, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3So true. It would be like Americans crediting the Weekly World News as their source for hard-hitting, credible news.
    • alpharaptor, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2and STILL, more integrity than fox
  • bgrah449, on 03/24/2008, -7/+18I, for one, welcome our new meteorite-protecting alien overlords.
    • itsgotyou, on 03/24/2008, -1/+8Do you mean meteroite – destryoing, earth inhabitant – protecting alien overlords?
      • bgrah449, on 03/24/2008, -0/+5*****. Yes. That is what I meant. :(
  • sjbdallas, on 03/24/2008, -11/+6We all laugh, but these kinds of things are only crackpot theories until they're proven to be true.
    You know, like a round earth, space travel, velcro.
    • foofoobee, on 03/24/2008, -2/+10Did you seriously just equate the credibility of an alien pilot flying his spacecraft into a meteor to save earth with the credibility of velcro?
    • tuflus, on 03/24/2008, -3/+2Round earth: even the ancient greeks knew the earth was round. That ***** about people thinking the earth flat until the 15th century is a myth.
      Space Travel: who said it was crackpottery? seriously, who?
      Velcro: WTF!?!?

      This article is full of bullcrap and we all know it.

      Learn 2 culture
    • haus34, on 03/24/2008, -0/+3i still question velcro.. wtf
    • designerutah, on 03/24/2008, -1/+1Yeah, and it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
  • Gauthic, on 07/09/2008, -1/+6"the stones used to be a part of the navigational system of a spaceship"

    Or an asteroid missile :D
    What makes them think that this asteroid was directed away from earth instead of TOWARD US.

    That would be my intention if I were looking in from outside :)
    • DemonWasp, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4It'd be way easier to just nuke the everloving hell out of us.

      Or, if they really wanted to go by the asteroid route, they should just throw buckshot of individual pellets weighing several tonnes, as fast as possible. The net effect of that attack would be these godlike "fingers" composed entirely of white-hot flame reaching down to smite the earth...an expanding shockwave from each impact, setting everything in its path aflame, cleansing the earth in fire.
      • yogiincork, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4wow...that was....poetic...
        • DemonWasp, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1The end of the world is always poetic.

          Unless you're Samuel Jackson, in which case it's incoherent screaming about snakes.
  • RajAtWork, on 03/24/2008, -2/+1Digg and "Pravda" - match mad in heaven. "Volcanic ball" indeed.
  • HeyaBILL, on 03/24/2008, -14/+9Hmm, this sounds like something the MSM (mainstream media for you losers) doesn't want me to see. Might have some truth to it. Ill file this somewhere between "The Federal Reserve sucks" and "9/11 was an inside job" for later perusal.
  • JamesDiggem, on 03/24/2008, -4/+4Tom Cruise planted the stones there
  • shyboy2008, on 03/24/2008, -10/+1i have friends that our aliens. they can be found in my backyard picking up leaves.
  • tomjunlee, on 03/24/2008, -4/+3Scientist?? Or just a theorist with an evident-lacking theory??
  • lndmn01, on 03/24/2008, -0/+67How can this be submitted but the "Hairy Hellish Sea Monster" ignored?

    • shadekeiko, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2That thing looks like tallapia on PCP. o.O
    • RockMuncher, on 03/24/2008, -1/+4I think I've seen enough decomposing putrescent whale carcasses for one lifetime, thank you. Must have been a slow making up the news day.
    • michael43, on 03/24/2008, -1/+7Is that what the picture was? I thought it was Rosie Odonnell's vagina
      • arjnav, on 03/24/2008, -0/+0Thank you! You just made me choke on my lunch!
    • laughandsing, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2Doesn't make any sense! I had to read that as well. lol
    • smackthenun, on 03/25/2008, -0/+1that head region of that ***** def did not look like a whale.
  • paulhendrixson, on 03/24/2008, -5/+6Reputable site is reputable.
  • brbubba, on 03/24/2008, -3/+16Hmmm, no actual pictures of the alleged stones, poor english writing skills, a crappy story that defies credibility...front page digg story!
    • Namco, on 03/24/2008, -0/+4The pictures of the stones are on the thumbnail to this story and in the article. The "poor english writing skills" are due to the story being translated from Russian to English.

      I agree that it's a ***** story though.
    • HumbleDialog, on 03/24/2008, -0/+2I have a feeling (hope?) that this was submitted and dugg for the sheer hilarity of it, not for the "news". Welcome to digg, btw.
  • shagen454, on 03/24/2008, -0/+1Hurry up - drink more of that vodka - things are going to get... straaange.
