Tunguska/Terma
Source: Wikipedia
One of the part of the major episode of the “mytharc”, Tunguska was based on actual events that took place in Russia in 1908. A massive explosion occurred in a forest near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Siberia. The explosion continues to perplex scientists because the source of the explosion appeared to be something very large and extraterrestrial that had crashed into the Earth.
Eyewitnesses report seeing an object careering through the sky that morning, but once it hit the ground, there was no trace evidence of anything making impact. Many have termed Tunguska “The Russian Roswell”, believing that it was the country’s most notable extraterrestrial encounter.

The “ancient astronaut” theory played quite heavily into this story arc that started off the series’ sixth season. The theory postulates that aliens have visited Earth and made contact with humans many times in the very distant past of human history, implying that the concept of God was brought to Earth by extraterrestrials. The hypothesis supposes that humans perceived the advanced technology of these ancient aliens as divinity.
