I don't know what all this stuff about "debris" is. Over the years, I was given the impression that scientists had pretty much established that the Tunguska impact was a comet chunk or other piece of frozen volatiles that entered the atmosphere and exploded some distance above the earth. The remains: evaporated volatiles and maybe some dust and sand. Not much.
