The Tungasku Event was obviously a small pipe like body intruding into the Siberian platform. There is ample evidence of this at the site. Eyewitness accounts describe the event as a very bright light in the form of a pipe or cylinder. Such shapes are not typical of meteorites.

The "Carswell Gastrobleme" in the Athabasca Basin until very recently was also thought to be an impact structure. At Carswell 50,000 cubic kilometres of sand was ejected out of the conduit. It has never been explained geologically.
