## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests partly supported it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Only microscopic remnants in resin, peat and sediment of 1908.
- No strewn field of macroscopic meteorites.

## What would rule it out

- Macroscopic meteorites found in a 1908 context.

## Evidence 2 for · none against

[A fragment would need tensile strength 10–100 times that of large stony meteorites to reach the ground intact.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECJ321D98/a-fragment-would-need-tensile-strength-10100-times-that-of)
