In a post posted on May 29, 2009 titled "AN ALIEN SPACECRAFT SAVED EARTH?", Sharkatron3000 theorized, holding the control panel carved with strange symbols found in the middle of the crash site as possible proof, that the Tunguska event may have involved an alien spacecraft or something of sorts in Earth orbit checking in on the progress of humanity and, seeing that a meteor was about to slam to Earth, deciding to sacrifice itself to save all life on the planet. He further speculated that if it survived the ordeal, it possibly may have hid itself or that it may have been taken in by the USA to Area 51 or by the Soviet Union to Kapustin Yar.

Neverthess, it filled him with some shred of hope that some aliens may be on their side. The Real Effing Deal
