Stronger fragments survived and fell in a strewn field about 11 km north-west of the epicentre, where they lie buried in permafrost.

**Still possible** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Still possible** Its tests haven't settled it: two pieces of evidence for, none against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Magnetic or radar anomalies of meteorite size in the computed 140 km² area.
- Fragments with strength of 14–85 MPa, comparable to the Carancas fall.

## What would rule it out

- A systematic geophysical survey of the strewn field finding no candidate objects.

## Evidence 2 for · none against

[Fall modelling calibrated on Chelyabinsk allows fragments of 14–85 MPa strength to survive.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/evidence/EVD0D4ECJJP3Q2X/fall-modelling-calibrated-on-chelyabinsk-allows-fragments-of)
