# On the possibility of through passage of asteroid bodies across the Earth's atmosphere

Daniil E. Khrennikov, Andrei K. Titov, Alexander E. Ershov et al., 2020. _Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society 493(1), 1344–1351_.

Models 50–200 m iron, stone and ice bodies on grazing trajectories down to 10–15 km altitude and argues that the Tunguska body was an iron asteroid that passed through the atmosphere and left.

[There were no fragments to find, because the body was icy, left the atmosphere, or was not cosmic.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/tunguska-event/answers/ANS0D4ECK2A2W4Z/there-were-no-fragments-to-find-because-the-body-was-icy)
