Tunguska 'spaceship' discovery -- Russian space debris??

They might have found some parts of the fifth Vostok test flight (Dec. 22,
1960) which made a suborbital flight due to failure of the 3rd stage.

See 'Challenge to Apollo'/Asif Siddiqi page 260 quote "the payload landed
about 3500 km downrange from the launch site in one of the most remote and
inaccessible areas of Siberia, in the region of the Podkamennaya Tunguska
River close to the impact point of the famed Tunguska meteorite".

As this area is more or less directly underneath the flightpath of Baykonour
launches, it can be expected that it is littered with rocket debris....

The Evenki provincial home page is at
http://www.evenkya.ru/eng/ and it has a map
that shows the reported recovery zone around
Poligus is well within the circle around the
Dec 22, 1960 landing location (s) described by
Sven Grahn's account (link below).

Details of the rescue of the capsule's dogs, and the location
of the spacecraft landing (with MAP):

However "The Moscow News" reports it slightly differently:

That explains it. In reality the fifth Vostok flight hit a temporal window
on its way up and when it re-appeared it was nearly 60 years previous!

My first thought was of the Bruce Stirling story "Storming the cosmos" in which the recovered space craft component reflects its discoverers expectations. I imagine that this would explain its extreme ugliness.

Wow, someone who remembers the IT'S ABOUT TIME sitcom (1966-1967).
