#3 There was some speculation years ago, that it might have actually been something akin to a very high speed but tiny black hole, that actually passed through the Earth, exiting on the far side. This was based on some reports of a contemporary sighting of an immense "water spout" seen elsewhere.

But for their part, the Russians have obsessed over it for so long, doing countless studies of meteorite, asteroid, comet, and other impacts and airbursts, that that theory really faded into the background.

#7 James, the picture posted in BBC article is deceptive. The lake is actually rather more than less elliptic (2.2:1), it's longer side is oriented 90 degrees towards the reported object trajectory and is probably older than the event. There is a mentioning of a lake that fits the coordinates from 1879 in a surveyor's report that is located in Bratsk archives. There is another, smaller lake that is almost round, lying almost spot on the trajectory, about 8 miles NE from the event epicenter.
