The absolute best freak occurance in history must be the Tunguska event, a mysterious 1908 explosion over Siberia that had nuclear bomb-like properties. No one is 100% sure what caused the blast, although it seems to be a haven for wacko theories (my fave is that it happened after a failed test of Tesla's broadcast power). It has shown up in fiction ranging from Ghostbusters to Warren Ellis' retelling of the Galacticus trilogy. Now, however, a bunch of scientists have released a new study of the crater. Very cool stuff.
