UPDATE:  SOLVED at 1221 CDT by Curt!

Today is the last chance to solve a riddle and be eligible to compete in the bonus riddle, Monday the 15th.  Today’s riddle is pretty tame, so get your guesses in quick.

Today’s riddle subject is an event.

It occurred in recent history.

While the event was occurring, it was not known what was happening.

What actually did happen is still debated in some circles.

This event has happened before.

It will happen again.

This event is well-represented in modern literature, TV shows, and songs.

Although there is significant scientific interest in modern times, at the time it occurred there was very little.

Okay, that should get it.  Today’s winner will be the last one eligible for the bonus riddle, so give it a SWAG even if you’re not sure of the answer.  Today’s winner will still pick the subject of my next post, but it will be up Tuesday instead of Monday.

Good luck!
