It can also be found on research.nru.us, but it's in base64 there, so not really readable.

First guess: It looks like th Tunguz meteor in Siberia. It was on 30 jun. 1908.

IT IS the TUNGUZ METEOR:

It would be so helpful if the PMs would start including time zones! We did EST for a long time, but the last 2 appointments were in MST.

CfRG Article on the Tunguska Meteor

In keeping with the idea that infomration is sometimes posted on the CFRG site, something I forgot in my little summary, here is a link to an article on Tunguska. It didn't leade me anywhere, but it does have references to things we have seen in the story so far, including the idea that it was cause by a collapsing wormhole from time travel.

It also mentions Rasputin...
Odder still we have had a Rasputin42x23 showing up in the IRC #acheron room the last few days (could just be coincidence)

Heh, actually that would be me.

Methinks that their making reference to the original Rasputin, the infamous mystic in Russian history. Pretty much a co-inky-dink. Very Happy
