The Dyatlov Pass Incident: Nature, Man Or Aliens?

 

Dead men tell no tales. If they did, there would be no mysteries such as the Dyatlov Pass Incident. First, the facts:

In January 1955, a group of ten students and graduates of the Ural Polytechnical Institute set on a ski trek in the Northern Ural Mountains. All of them were experienced in mountain expeditions. In order to reach their destination, Otorten Mountain, they needed to cross the Dyatlov Pass, named after the leader of the group, Igor Dyatlov. The pass is located between Otorten Mountain and Kholat Syakhl — Dead Mountain in the native Mansi language.

The group unknowingly heading to their deaths.

On January 28, one of the ten students fell ill and remained behind. The remaining nine members arranged to notify their sports club via telegram once their ski trek ended, in about two weeks’ time.

By February 20, it became obvious that something went wrong and the students’ relatives demanded a search and rescue operation. On February 26, rescuers found the group’s abandoned and damaged tent, half covered by snow. Strangely enough, it had been cut from the inside and contained the group’s clothes and shoes. In the snow were at least eight sets of footprints, leading toward the edge of nearby woods. The footprints were left by people wearing only socks, one shoe or even barefoot. The discovery baffled the rescue team but more questions would soon be raised.

 

Footprints.

They followed the tracks and at the edge of the forest, under a large cedar tree, they found the remains of a fire and the bodies of two men, Krivonischenko and Doroshenko. The only piece of clothing they had on was their underwear. They had burns on their hands, legs and hair. The tree had snapped branches up to a height of 16 feet, suggesting that someone from the group had tried to climb it. Some of the high branches from nearby trees were burned.

The cedar tree then and now.

Between the campsite and the forest, the rescuers found another three bodies, those of Dyatlov, Slobodin and Kolmogorova. Their poses suggested they were returning to their camp. There was no evidence of a struggle and no other tracks were found in the snow.

As the search for the remaining four members of the group continued, a forensic investigation was performed on the five bodies already found. The cause of death was determined to be hypothermia.

The discovery of the other four bodies was made possible by the spring thawing. On May 4, the missing corpses were found in a ravine not far from the woods, buried under 12 feet of snow. Unlike their friends, they were clothed. Also, their cause of death was brutal internal injury. Their chests were crushed inward, they had shattered ribs and massive internal damage. There were no signs as to what might have caused their injuries and bizarrely, their corpses showed no signs of bruising. The medical examiner, Doctor Boris Vozrozhdeny said that the force capable of inflicting this kind of damage far exceeded that of a man and he likened the damage to that of a car crash. The body of Liudmila Dubinina had even more damage as she was missing her tongue, eyes, part of her lips and facial tissue. It was claimed that she had been found face-down in a stream and this was due to decomposition in a wet environment but photographs show her body kneeling against a large boulder, away from running water.

Three pieces of clothing showed higher than normal levels of radioactivity. Family members also pointed out that the young hikers’ skins had taken on a strange orange hue.

After recovering journals and film reels from the tent, investigators found out that the group had erected their tent on the slope of Kholat-Syakhl on February 2, sometime around 5:00 PM, in an attempt to dodge the bad weather. Two hours later, they had what would be their last meal and began settling for the night. The incident that led to their demises started somewhere between 9:30 and 11:30 PM. Something must have frightened the skiers so bad that they ripped the tent from the inside and ran into the frigid night mostly unclothed. The footprints suggested that the group dispersed but later regrouped near the cedar tree. There, the first two members died of hypothermia and the remaining scavenged their clothes. Dyatlov, Slobodin and Kolmogorova decided to overcome their fear and try to return to the tent but died on the way. The remaining four sustained their injuries closer to the forest and ended up in the ravine in which their bodies were found.

The baffling nature of this case rests with the many aspects that contradict conventional scenarios. The number one question was what could have caused nine seasoned mountaineers to leave their tent, fully knowing that the temperatures outside were around 20-30 degrees Celsius below freezing?

At first, investigators were inclined to point to the local Mansi people as responsible for the deaths of the nine people. However, there was no evidence to support this theory; the bodies had no bullet wounds, their provisions were left untouched and the injuries they had sustained couldn’t have been caused by humans.

It wasn’t long before someone suggested an alien attack. According to reports filed by Lev Ivanov, the lead investigator at the time, another group of hikers camped 30 miles south had seen strange orange spheres in the northern skies. In the following period, similar anomalies were reported by residents of the area around Dead Mountain. Supporters of the alien attack scenario point out to the unexplained increased level of radiation, the hikers’ skin turning orange and Dubinina missing her tongue.

Another theory in circulation is that the skiers had accidentally stumbled upon a secret soviet military experiment and had paid with their lives. One of the advocates of this theory is Yudin, the team member that had to remain behind. He was asked to help identify the objects found at the site and among them were a pair of glasses and skis that did not belong to his colleagues. He also testified to seeing documents that proved the investigation had started two weeks prior to the “official discovery”.

In the fifty-five years since the incident many explanations have been suggested. Some say that the group fell victim to an attack from vicious Almas, the Siberian yetis.

No tracks belonging to beasts were found, however.

A theory involving naturally produced infrasound was put forward. Others have proposed more sensible explanations, such as avalanches or freak lightning due to the friction caused by the snowstorm. A book even suggests that some of the skiers were in fact KGB officers on a mission to deliver radioactive samples to a CIA cell stationed on the mountain.

No theory has managed to offer a full or satisfying explanation to this day. The official report stated that the hikers fell victim to a “compelling unknown force”. In 1990, author Anatoly Guschin was granted special permission to study the original files and later reported that many pages were missing and an envelope mentioned in the evidence list was nowhere to be found.

As time went by, more and more layers have been added to a case that was bizarre from the very beginning and the secrecy of the official investigation contributed to the speculations even more.

To this day, the Dyatlov Incident remains one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the 20th Century.

      I have thought of the unfortunate and unexplained deaths of these students for some time and as Spock said in Star Trek – quoted from Sherlock Holmes “… when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the
      truth…”
      I originally thought that it may have been the Russian Army with concussion bombs that were dropped on them by accident.
      The Army had used this location for secret tests.
      Some mention that the Army secretly arrived at the crime scene 1 week before the rescuers found the bodies.
      This could answer a few of the mysteries but not all!
      Why their tent was on the side of the mountain and not logically down at the tree line for shelter and fire wood?
      The Army could have moved the tent up the mountain to change the crime scene.
      Why there was radioactive material on some of the clothing and why they were not wearing any protective clothes for the harsh climate?
      The Army could have changed their clothes and confiscated clothing which showed being radioactive.
      Though all good explanations, I do believe there is only one explanation that holds up to all the facets of this case!
      Yeti or Abominable Snow Man – Encounter!
      On research I found that the small tent used was not their main tent.
      They had left supplies at a base camp and were using this very small tent for an excursion.
      What was their purpose for climbing the Ural mountain range?
      I googled Russian news broadcast for the past year (1958) and found an interesting account of Yeti encounters on this range. That year a number of local Mansi tribe people disappeared.
      After an investigation, the Russian Government banned all further reporting on the Yeti with threats of incarceration.
      These students may have been acting as investigating reporters and photographers and needed a cover to conceal their true purpose.
      The one person they added to their close group was a guide familiar with the territory.
      A note on a printed paper in their possession was scribbled “From now on we know that the snow men exist”.
      Although they used guns to protect themselves in the wilderness for previous trips (pictures show), they did not carry any this time in case they were stopped and questioned.
      Whatever attacked them in their tent did not bite or claw but had extreme power to crush
      A similar attack at Yale BC in the 1800’s by some gold miners who claimed to have captured a baby Sasquatch and in Washington State 1920’s of an attack:
      In 1946 Cultus Lake BC a newlywed couple disappeared from their cabin with only large footprints found surrounding the cabin.
      Case Scenario
      The illogical pitching of their tent in the open rather than down at the tree line may have been due to a scare from the locals at the last settlement.
      Towns’ people warned them about reindeer having been found dead in this area.
      They may have felt more secure making camp in the open rather than down within the trees.
      After setting up camp they would have taken off their boots and put their heavy outer wear outside to dry.
      Due to the limited space within the tent they more than likely stored this gear along with their skies and pack sacks in the overhang where the chimney exits.
      They then entered the tent using their long johns and tent slippers inside and had supper.
      Shortly after supper, two of the men went outside to urinate (documented) with a flashlight, which they left on the roof of the tent (documented) and a lighter and cigarettes to have a smoke.
      It was written in their diary that the women did not want them smoking in the hotel rooms or tent.
      While outside they were attacked and forced to flee down to the forest for cover.
      There they built a fire for warmth, to notify the others and to keep any predators away.
      On hearing the commotion outside the tent, 3 of the students with a flashlight went to help and were also attacked.
      Unable to reach their outerwear at the back of the tent they too fled down the mountain.
      The Yeti then centered their attack on the 4 remaining students left in the tent.
      The Yeti being unable to open the tent door or cut through began to pound on the center of the tent while the students inside sliced their knives back through the tent in defense.
      It’s been reported that Yeti can use sticks and may have poked through the open slits of the tent with one of the ski poles as it was documented that numerous knife cuts were found on one of the ski poles.
      The Yeti attack temporarily stopped when they saw the fire down at the tree line and the 3 students heading towards it with the flashlight (documented and found on this trail still in the on position).
      It has been reported that the Yeti are not afraid of fire or light.
      The Yeti then caught the 3 students before they could reach the tree line.
      Yeti use their large powerful arms to club and then bear hug their quarry until subdued and unconscious, all similar injuries reported on the students.
      Forensic Investigators state that when a body is suffocated the blood does not pool back to the organs, but stays at the extremities. The discoloring of the skin seen on the students at their funeral could have been caused by this injury.
      Seeing that the fire was attracting the Yeti the 2 students at the tree tried to frantically put it out, it was reported that one of these student’s hands were burnt by this action.
      Next they proceeded to climb a tree.
      The report claimed they had climbed the tree to observe if their tent was still there to return to.
      The problem with this statement is that it was after sunset, in winter, in Russia.
      I googled if there was a full moon that night and it shows that there was no moon visible, so it would have been pitch dark.
      The only reason to climb a tree at night would be to try and elude a predator.
      Sasquatches have been reported with the ability to climb trees.
      One of the students was found a few hundred feet from the tree still clutching a branch, as though he had been dragged down from the tree.
      When the remaining 4 students of the group did arrive at the tree, they found their companions dead. They proceeded to remove what clothing they could to keep warm rather than return to their tent and what was back there.
      They then went to a ravine and dug a snow cave for shelter.
      Unfortunately the Yeti were waiting for them in the forest and pursued them, cornering them at the ravine some short distance away.
      Now one of the original investigators has presented that he saw a Yeti foot print.
      Foot prints of any kind would be hard to find in winter, in a valley known for wind.

      The Yeti/Sasquatch have a very large bipedal foot, much like a “Bear Paw Snow Shoe” which leaves a very flat shallow print.

      These prints could easily have disappeared with weather conditions.
      The final explanation may be the hardest to believe and that is – Why have no further sightings or findings been made of Yeti in this location?
      With all of our technologies, these mountains and the world in general have become a lot smaller, but the Universe is immense and unknown.
      There were unexplained lights in the sky seen by other observers.
      Strange creatures have been reported all over the world with similar globe light occurrences
      (Kentucky Goblin Encounter,Chupacabras, Ogopogo, Lochness Monster, and other such things).
      Many documented encounters with Sasquatch have been reported with similar globe lights seen around their vicinity.
      Could it be that there are time portals throughout the Universe and these creatures accidentally pass through them?
      One such strange occurrence happened in Manila in 1593 where a guard was suddenly transported to Mexico City

      Could UFO’s seen in the area be trying to relocate these Yetis back to their rightful locations?
      Could a nuclear blast such as the 1957-58 Russian accidental nuclear explosion at Kyshtym ( just a few miles south of Oblast Swerdlowsk where these students were) cause a rip in our universe?
      This accident reportedly killed 1000’s of people and contaminated a 100 square kilometer area with high level radiation.
      Could the radiation on their clothing have come from physical contact with these entities or the terrain itself?
      All in all strange and unexplained things happen and it is left up to us to ponder what the truth might be.
      Thanks for your ability to have your mind open to care for an explanation for these unfortunate beings.
