Side Notes.
Before the 1908 Tunguska Event, the syberian region's mysteries were already famous among the native people. They had many stories and legends related to "big balls of Fire" in their skies and about Ogdy, the god of storms in the sky.
Our favorite ones are about...
1- A lake that was emptied, metal doors that did open at the buttom and about big pillars of light that were projected in the sky.
2- Mysterious balls of fire that could move, stop or change directions in the sky and even seen at times to be attacking themselves. Some legends tell about gods practicing their "targetting habilities". It was beleived that their job was to protect the land and people from "outside" interferences. A parrallel could be made, here, between their Ogdy god and the Anannuki god of storms back in sumerian's days. Both were kind of eagle like gods.
3- A story about a yakut shaman who did warn his people (10 hours ahead) about a big manifestion that was about to happen.
4- But our favorite would have to be the "Tesla connection".
Tesla was quite a genius and well ahead of his time. His best idea was to find a way to transmit energy through air and/or ground to anywhere it was needed on our planet. His last big experiment (due to lack of funds) was called the "Wardencliff test"(Tesla's Tower photo at left). Many people beleive it could be related to the Tunguska Event. It is easy for us to understand that he was perceived as a threat by the big Power Companies of his time (like Marconi). In one of his letter, he did confirm that, contrary to the general belief, he did go through with the test. The Tunguska region might well have been his target because it was thought to be scarsely inhabited.
