TUNGUSKA GENETIC ANOMALY AND 
ELECTROPHONIC METEORS

(Received December 27, 2004) 
One of great mysteries of the Tunguska event is its genetic impact. Some 
genetic anomalies were reported in the plants, insects and people of the 
Tunguska region. Remarkably, the increased rate of biological mutations 
was found not only within the epicenter area, but also along the tra jectory 
of the Tunguska Space Body (TSB). At that no traces of radioactivity 
were found, which could be reliably associated with the Tunguska event. 
The main hypotheses about the nature of the TSB, a stony asteroid, a 
comet nucleus or a carbonaceous chondrite, readily explain the absence of 
radioactivity but give no clues how to deal with the genetic anomaly. A 
choice between these hypotheses, as far as the genetic anomaly is concerned, 
is like to the choice between “blue devil, green devil and speckled devil”, 
to quote late Academician N.V. Vasilyev. However, if another mysterious 
phenomenon, electrophonic meteors, is evoked, the origin of the Tunguska 
genetic anomaly becomes less obscure. . . .
