Um...ok.
Ever heard of the famous Tunguska explosion in Siberia in 1908? Was it a meteor? A crashed UFO? How about a Nikola Tesla deathray experiment gone wrong!
At the time, Robert Peary was making his second attempt to reach the North Pole. Tesla supposedly told Peary that he'd be trying to get in touch with him, and for them to tell him if they saw anything odd in the distance while they were up there. On June 30, Tesla aimed his deathray across the Atlantic towards the arctic, to a spot which he calculated was west of the Peary expedition; he couldn't tell if the ray was working or not, but then an owl flew into its path and disintegrated. This concluded the experiment, so Tesla now could only wait for Peary's return.
Instead, he read in the newspaper a couple of days later of a strange event in Siberia. On June 30, a massive explosion had devastated Tunguska, a remote area in the Siberian wilderness; thousands of acres of land had been instantly destroyed, and the explosion was audible from hundreds of miles away. Scientists believe it was caused by either a meteorite or a fragment of a comet, although no obvious impact site or mineral remnants of such an object were ever found.
Nikola Tesla had a different explanation. It was plain that his death ray had overshot its intended target and destroyed Tunguska. It is said that he dismantled the death ray at once, deeming it too dangerous to remain in existence.
Many years later, long after Tesla's death, ex-Nazi scientists in the Soviet Union worked for decades to put Nikola Tesla's theories to work to build a deathray. The real reason for Gorbachev's accepting Reagan's zero option nuclear proposal is a sinister one, says retired Col. Thomas E. Beardon. Although the scientists were successful in creating the deathray, the one downside is that it sets off nuclear missiles within a 500 mile radius; but with the elimination of nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union would be free to use the deathray to take over the world.
