At 7:17 AM on the morning of June 30, 1908, a mysterious explosion occurred 
in the skies over Siberia.  It was caused by the impact and breakup of a 
large meteorite, at an altitude roughly six kilometers in the atmosphere.   
Realistic pictures of the event are unavailable.   
However, Russian scientists collected eyewitness accounts of the event.   
I believe that we now know enough about large impacts to "decode" the 
subjective descriptions of the witnesses and create realistic views of this 
historic asteroid impact as seen from different distances.
