I wonder if you researched the Dyatlov Pass incident? Happened back in the USSR days and there are multiple theories about what happened. I should warn you that there are dead people involved.

History not taught in school. I guess because there a no solid how’s and why’s? Thank you for this, and what a way to tell this mystery through the eyes of a wolf.

There's not a lot of certainty around this event, as you said, but it's really interesting. I really appreciate your words. Thanks so much, Charotte.

That's a fascinating moment in history. And that's a fantastic perspective to explore it from. It works really well... 😎

This is a great story! One of my colleagues, a fringe physicist, she always stated that the Tunguska event was caused by Nicola Tesla's energy transfer experiment gone awry...

There are many theories, and they are all fascinating. Even about aliens or a black hole. Many are improbable, but it is a fascinating topic. Thanks, buddy ;-)

I want to find the awesome article she gave me, but I don’t think it exists anymore.

My friend was a long time study of physics and she had abandoned Quantum for Hyperspace physics when I met her. Her teacher said "Publish nothing. We don't exist because we want to live."

Wolves are the most beautiful wild animals! Do you know the Sci-Fi novel "Roadside Picnic", by the Russian authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky? It might have been inspired by the Tunguska event, and it's a great book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Picnic.
