Tunguska (The X-Files)
"Tunguska" is the eighth episode of the fourth season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files. It premiered on the Fox network on November 24, 1996. It was directed by Kim Manners, and written by Frank Spotnitz and series creator Chris Carter. "Tunguska" featured guest appearances by John Neville, Nicholas Lea and Fritz Weaver. The episode helped explore the series' overarching mythology. "Tunguska" earned a Nielsen household rating of 12.2, being watched by 18.85 million people in its initial broadcast.
In the episode, FBI special agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) travels to Russia to investigate the source of a black oil contamination. His partner Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) and assistant director Walter Skinner (Mitch Pileggi) are summoned to attend a United States Senate hearing on Mulder's whereabouts. "Tunguska" is a two-part episode, with the plot continuing in the next episode, "Terma".
"Tunguska" was inspired by reports of evidence of extraterrestrial life possibly being found in the Allan Hills 84001 meteorite, while the gulag setting was inspired by the works of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. The story offered the writers a chance to expand the scale of the series' mythology globally, although production of the episode was described as troublesome and expensive.

Tunguska
by: Darkest HourOn the threshold of life as we know
in a chasm cascading to the core
where nothing seems real anymore
in between the obtuse and obscene
so let the rains come down and explore
the possibility that it all ended that day,
and like all you dark clouds you sceptics
denying your true nature look away
past the concrete and the steel
flowing down to the valley below
drawn out for 99 years
splitting the seas
this terrestrial being
so let the rains come down and explore
the possibility that it all ended that day,
and like all you dark clouds you sceptics
denying your true nature look away
dormant beneath us what was will be
dwelling within us what is will be no more
and maybe it's not all what we built it up to be
