'Alien wreckage' found in Siberia

Metro13 April 2012

The wreckage of an alien space craft has been discovered at the site of an unexplained explosion that took place in Siberia nearly a century ago, Russian scientists claim.

The team also says it has found a rock weighing 50kg which has been sent for analysis, according to the respected Interfax news agency. Researchers, working for the publicly-funded Tunguska Space Phenomenon group, believe the alien craft crashed on June 30, 1908. Until now, the blast, which devastated 2,000sq km of remote forest, was blamed on a meteorite impact near the Tunguska river.

The scientists hope the evidence will help solve the mystery of what happened that day by the time of the centenary of the blast, in four years. The site was first researched in 1927, but no signs of an alien craft were reported then.
