The biggest explosion in the world took place in Siberia on June 30, 1908, and nobody knows what caused it. People and animals as far away as 100 miles were knocked off their feet, and trees were blown down and splintered into pieces. The explosion was so blindingly bright that it made the sun appear dark by comparison, and people reported that several nights after the explosion were almost as light as day. In Europe, more than 1,000 miles away, it was unusually bright that people could read a newspaper at midnight without turning on the lights.
Witnesses reported seeing an object fall across the sky just before the explosion occurred. One man said that he saw a huge flame flash across the sky. Then it grew dark, and he was thrown off his porch by the blast.
