crg,

Your points seem like the kind that can actually be checked on. I’m sure many would like to see the papers that were confiscated by the Navy on Tesla’s death.

RPJ,

Good points. Do you sense a Roswell-type discussion brewing?

Ross,

Thanks for the comment. I think you’re new here, so welcome!

Of course, we have an unproven shored up with another unproven (or incompletely-proven) thesis, which makes it just like the UFO enigma!

That’s not to say we shouldn’t engage in speculation, because that sometimes leads to understanding, and we have some fun in the process.

Firkon,

Thanks for the heads-up. There is also Sesh Heri’s rollicking tale of Tesla, Twain, and Harry Houdini: Wonder of the Worlds.

I’ve been a member of the Tesla Turbine Builders Yahoo Group for 9-10 years. Germano’s theories are abit out there even for us Tesla fans. I think that he’s partially correct about the gov’t snatching up Tesla’s papers at his death to cover-up several large radio and electronic corporations basically stealing his research technology to include his energy beaming technology research for it’s obvious weapons capability. The one serious flaw in the Tesla caused the Tunguska event theory is Tesla himself. If anyone knew exactly how much energy would be released in such an experiment at that time, it would have been Tesla and he wouldn’t have risked harming folks even primitives half way around the world. Tesla was at least 40-50 years ahead of the rest of the world in energy theory and I suspect that if his papers were to be declassified that his heirs would have much legal grounds to sue many of the electronics giants of the 20th century for tens of billions of dollars in unpaid royalties. As with any good conspiracy, you’ve got to follow the money!

I disagree with points # 5 & 6 Ross.

I remember reading in Carl Sagan’s COSMOS that witnesses reported a ball of fire falling from the sky before the explosion. To dismiss that in order to validate the Tesla theory as just the delusions of impressionable peasants is not right.

And re. #6: In 2007 some researchers claimed to have found the impact crater at the bottom of a lake.

The news appeared on the BBC website:

“Now, a University of Bologna team says a lake near the epicentre of the blast may be occupying a crater hollowed out by a chunk of rock that hit the ground.

Lake Cheko - though shallow - fits the proportions of a small, bowl-shaped impact crater, say the Italy-based scientists.

Their investigation of the lake bottom’s geology reveals a funnel-like shape not seen in neighbouring lakes.

In addition, a geophysics survey of the lake bed has turned up an unusual feature about 10m down which could either be compacted lake sediments or a buried fragment of space rock.

Other features suggest a recent origin for the lake.”

Is this why Orson Welles plays J.P. Morgan in the Tesla film? Ah the secret military disinfo campaign is now thoroughly exposed. Meanwhile John Keely’s antigravity tech is whisked away by Skull and Bones via John Jacob Astor… and Theo Paijmans.

Greg - I first heard about Tesla as a possible source for the Tunguska event about 20 years ago and have been fascinated over the years to find theory after theory come and go. As with all “unexplained” mysteries, one seeks the evidence to support their”pet theory” and usually, there is complete exclusion of the “pieces” that don’t fit their sought after conclusion. No different with UFOs, BF, crop circles, etc.
So far, the eyewitness testimonies and research for the Tunguska event have produced few hard facts, but include:
1. Big explosion
2. Air burst
3. No ground contact
4. No meteorite or ice ball found
5. No impact crater
6. No unusual celestial objects seen leading up to event

A Tesla experiment is the only answer that fits ALL of the evidence to date, but it is too far outside of most peoples’ reality box, so is most often ignored. Plus, it is difficult to do scientific research to prove that Tesla was the source of this event. So, the researchers continue to travel to Siberia in search of meteorites and make believe impact craters far from “ground zero” of the explosion.
Every so often I work with people that channel information from higher dimensional non-human sources. For what it’s worth . . . between 1999 and 2009 with three separate sources and three separate channelers (none of whom had ever heard of the Tunguska event) all three of the “higher dimensional sources” fingered Tesla as the source. This doesn’t prove anything by scientific standards, but it sure is compelling!

Speaking of Tesla and Twain, have any of you read Matt Fraction’s graphic novel “Five Fists of Science”? Pseudo-historical account of Tesla/Twain vs. Morgan/Edison in a battle for the future of humanity. Pretty good stuff.

RPJ,

Good points. Have you been reading this site long?;)

Your scenario is far less unfounded than the original article, I think, but that’s just my bias.
