Weeks After Starshield Was Caught Beaming Signals at Earth, Elon Musk and Joe Rogan Discuss Link Between 3I/ATLAS and The Tunguska Event
Joe Rogan: “There was one that… one that hit Siberia and destroyed, I think, a few hundred square miles.”
Elon Musk: “Oh, that’s the Tunguska.”
Joe Rogan: “Yeah. That’s the one from the 1920s, right?”
Elon Musk: “Yeah.”
Joe Rogan: “Yeah. That’s the one that coincides with that meteor that uh comet storm that we go through every June and every November that they think is responsible for that younger dryas.”
Elon Musk: “Yeah.”
Joe Rogan: “Yeah, all that s*#t’s crazy.”
The conversation ended there, but it left lingering questions about possible connections between 3I/ATLAS, the Tunguska event, and the recurring meteor storms that occur every June and November.
Despite Joe Rogan’s effort to spark a deeper discussion, Musk offered little beyond brief acknowledgments.
The June event, known as the Arietids, peaks in mid-June and is famous for its bright, high-activity meteors. The November event, the Leonids, reaches its peak around November 17–18 and is capable of producing dazzling meteor storms with hundreds of visible streaks per hour.
