The mirror-smooth surface of the jewel of Eastern Siberia, the Baikal Lake reminds one of a huge bowl of a radiotelescope....On June 30, 1908, the inhabitants of Kamensk, a small settlement situated only 4km to the east from the lake, observed a fiery column that shot through in the north-east direction, and a powerful trembling of the soil and great waves that appeared on the Yenisei River testify to a possibility of some fragments of the disintegrating meteoritic body [that hit Tunguska], falling in the neighbourhood.

Anyone else besides me think that it could possibly be the original story which was not correct. Early reports of 'extraordinary' events are known to be incorrect.
I am not saying this is the case but it is nice to keep it in mind before we all get worked up.

Mysterious flying object falls in Siberia
The zone's residents have told they saw the crash with a loud noise and shortly after high flames came out from the mysterious object.
Currently the researches are led by the security officers; initially many said it could have been an MI-8 helicopter which was flying over the area but the Russian Air Force has not confirmed the presence of that kind of aircraft in that zone. (Avionews)
Unidentified Flying Object Crashes, Burns In Siberian Taiga
Russian officials said an unidentified flying object fell out of the sky and burned on impact Friday in the taiga of East Siberia, the news agency Interfax reported.
Law enforcement authorities in the Krasnoyarsk region told Interfax residents had reported seeing a "flying apparatus" plunge from the sky at about 10 a.m.
Residents of the remote area, some 260 kilometres north of the regional capital of Krasnoyarsk, said the surrounding area had been charred, showing signs of a fire.
Authorities, however, said they had been unable to reach the scene due to inclement weather conditions.
"Investigators and transport officials are now being sent from Krasnoyarsk to establish the reasons behind the crash," a police official said.
Regional authorities have not speculated about what the object might have been, but they noted a helicopter had flown over the scene and that its crew had not seen any traces of fire.
The vast Siberian taiga, an area of boundless forest, famously played host to an explosion known as the "Tunguska event" in June 1908 after an object, now thought to be an asteroid or comet, slammed into a remote area north of Lake Baikal.
The blast, which felled an estimated 60 million trees over 2,000 square kilometers, was later calculated to have been the equivalent of 10 to 20 megatons of TNT, similar in force to that of the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated.
