So that meteor that blew up above Russia...

Dont you find it odd that this is at least the second time that this has happened in Russia that a Meteor explodes above and causes damage to the land below? And the time before, the Tunguska Event, it seems that these Meteors share a common trait, power. They both explode with immense power. But why? If the scientists believe that detonating a Nuke on an incoming Meteor cant destroy it, than why do they believe that the atmosphere causes them to explode so violently? I have a feeling that the Cauldrons will be found soon. In the hunt for expensive space debris, I have a feeling that the hunt will lead to the finding of the elusive Cauldrons that I believe are causing the Meteors to explode. I have done several papers about these cauldrons in college and dont really feel like explaining them, but you should definitely look them up. Its an interesting story, and I feel that the pieces are putting themselves together. tldr or the Cauldron story. mysteriously radioactive forest in Russia. NO living creatures in forest because of said radiation, barely any trees either. Old stories tell of "cauldrons" or domes rise from perfectly circular lakes within said forest. inside of them is said to be as hot as the summer (siberia is cold bruh) and the rim as sharp as razor. The outside is said to be a copper colore. They are said to appear from time to time, being inside the cauldrons cause radiation sickness. They are said to summon "the fiery one". I believe that the fiery one is the projectile launched by these cauldrons as a form of defense for something buried beneath the radioactive forest.

  • They explode because when they enter the atmosphere, the friction from air generates a massive amount of heat (as they're going hundreds of miles an hour), as they near the surface and hit the lower pressures, the pressure and sudden temperature change make them explode. It's no different than putting thermite on ice.
