The author has probably already tired the readers with the topic of the Dyatlov Pass, and all the same, I would venture to return to this topic again, but I will first explain the reason why it fascinated me so much.
The author is not a stubborn truth-seeker delving into stories that no one needs for a long time, the reason for interest in this old story is completely different. There is reason to believe that the events that took place at the pass are still significant and relevant.
There were events about which we will still hear, and God forbid that we would only hear and not feel on "our own skin" …
I will not breed further horror stories, the author may be wrong, so draw your own conclusions.
Technogenic traces
As can be seen from the earlier reconstruction of the events near the fire and in the stream bed (you can read about this on Vkontakte here: https://vk.com/id184633937), the picture of what happened is reconstructed quite reliably by the sum of the available facts. The most important conclusion from the reconstruction is that a group murder was committed there with a weapon of an "unknown type". This is the standard forensic wording, it fits perfectly in our case.
Let's try to deal with this weapon.
The following signs of the use of this "weapon of an unknown type" emerge from the reconstruction:
- Instant and complete immobilization of the victim.
- Extensive internal injuries without external signs of damage.
- Stopping a mechanical watch at the same time as the death of a person.
It is possible to dispute these conclusions both individually and as a whole, but one thing is clear - a high-tech tool was used, a kind of unidentified "technogenic". So we will try to concretize the facts of the presence of man-made signs in the events near the height of 1079.
Radiation
From the very beginning, it was known that local spots with an increased background radiation were found on the clothes of tourists. The nature of this radiation is unknown, the devices with which they measured radiation in an ordinary district Sanitary and Epidemiological Station do not allow an accurate analysis. The only thing that is reliably known is that the radiation level dropped sharply when flushed with running water.
Therefore, it can be argued that radioactive stains on clothes appeared after the last wash of these things. Usually, things are washed before the hike, so there is a high probability that radioactive contamination got on the things already during the hike, possibly in the process of murder.
Breaks in the snow
Look at the photo:
This is a photograph from the materials of the investigation, from the caption to it, we know that the investigation considered these breaks to be traces left by tourists on the slope of mountain 1079. But these are not traces of people or animals.
The most characteristic group of breaks in the crust is highlighted. In principle, these group of breaks cannot be footprints of tourists for the following reasons:
- lengthening of breaks goes across the chain of traces "no one knows what" …
- there is no "checkerboard" order that occurs when moving the right and left legs
- a group of breaks begins and ends at random.
This is not the only snapshot of incomprehensible breaches, here is another of the materials of the investigation:
What it is is incomprehensible, it looks like a trace from some object that got into the crust at a very acute angle.
Break in the crown of a cedar
And here's another break, only it's not in the snow, but in the crown of a cedar:
This is a snapshot of a cedar from which tourists watched the summit of height 1079, two extreme branches are broken in the middle, the other two are broken at the very base. So the main blow to the trunk fell somewhere in the center of symmetry, between the branches broken off in the middle. If we evaluate the mechanism of such a break, then the first thing that comes to mind is a shock wave.
But the investigation considered that the branches were broken by tourists, this is the most naive assumption in order to somehow explain the nature of such a characteristic break. Not only did they not need it at all, it was also simply impossible for the extreme branches with a diameter of ten centimeters broken off in the middle.
Marks on the protected areas of the skin of the deceased
Very strange "strokes" were found on the skin of the bodies, one of them was described by the expert as an element of a tattoo, here it is:
This may and could be believed if it were not for the almost the same characteristic strokes on the legs of another body:
On one leg, they are clearly distinguishable, on the other, too, but they are poorly visible in the picture. For those who do not know, it looks like a "scribble", but anyone who has seen photographs of particle tracks on photographic plates and in Wilson's camera will say that it looks like tracks (tracks in professional language) from high-speed particles.
The bodies in these places were protected by clothing, scratches are excluded, which caused such subcutaneous "strokes", similar in texture to a tattoo, is not clear.
Damage in open areas of bodies
A very strange picture of superficial injuries on open areas of the body (hands and faces) among tourists who died on the slope of the mountain. Judging by the protocols of the examination of the bodies, the amount of injuries on the hands and face of the tourist is directly proportional to the distance he traveled to the top, this is the only pattern that is clearly visible in the circumstances of the death of three tourists on the slope.
Least of all superficial injuries on the body of Dyatlov, but he walked only 400 meters from the fire. More injuries on the face and hands of Slobodin, he walked 150 meters further than Dyatlov.
And on the face and hands of Kolmogorova, who had advanced to the top another 150 meters from Slobodin's body, there is no "living place", look what her face represented, continuous bruises:
These are not cadaveric spots, the expert defined them as "sedimentation" (bruises) and in the protocol of finding the bodies, they are described as "bruises". The face is clearly "cut" by some small objects. That it was not clear, but the closest analogy is similar in the pattern of damage, these are superficial wounds from secondary fragments formed during the explosion (from the scattering of small stones and soil). The same picture is on the bodies of Slobodin and Dyatlov, only to a lesser extent, which is directly proportional to the distance traveled along the slope of height 1079.
Complementary damage
Complementary (combined) injuries are clearly visible on the bodies of Dubinina and Slobodin. Here is the injury on the back of Dubinina's body:
It corresponds to the injury inflicted in the front in the chest area, where ten ribs are broken. The closest analogy is a through bullet wound, when a bullet pierces the chest, breaks nearby bones (a common thing with rifle wounds in the chest area) and at the end, already tumbling, forms an extensive wound at the exit from the body.
Taking into account the reconstruction carried out earlier, Dubinina was injured from the high right bank of the stream, from a very close distance. Accordingly, the bullet, entering the body at chest level and breaking ten ribs at the same time, should have come out much lower, in the lumbar region, which we can see in the photograph.
A similar picture with Slobodin's body, on the right temple clearly shows some damage around which snow has frozen:
On the opposite side of the skull, the forensic scientist recorded in the protocol a cerebral hemorrhage and a fracture of the skull, and he described the intravital, posthumous dehiscence of the sutures separately.
It also very much resembles a through bullet wound, when the opening of the wound channel at the entrance is practically indistinguishable (typical for high-speed small-caliber bullets) and at the exit, such a bullet forms an area of significant damage due to the loss of speed and "yaw".
And it is quite possible that we have a snapshot of what the entrance holes of these bullets looked like, here is the damage on the forehead of Krivonischenko's body:
The rounded shape of the injury does not imply occurrence from natural causes, it looks like a man-made, if this is true, then the bullet that formed this entrance hole was no more than 1-2 millimeters in diameter.
The medical examiner also recorded a hemorrhage in the occiput in the autopsy report:
So this is the third case of complementary damage, too many for coincidences, by the way, although anything can happen …
And what is even more intriguing, near this injury there is also a "zagigulina" on the skin, such as the track of a high-speed particle (hardly distinguishable in this picture), like on Zolotarev's arm, like on the legs of the same body of Krivonischenko.
Accordingly, it can be assumed that these are related phenomena arising from the use of weapons of an "unknown type".
What was it
This is the sum of facts available to us for analysis after more than 55 years since the events. It is clear that much has not reached us, being lost in time, much has not been interpreted correctly, something is generally not correct from the start, so we will highlight what is in common in the above.
In the sum of common signs, the true is always found, this method of logical reasoning is called the "method of intersecting probabilities", with its help we will reveal the signs of the use of weapons of an "unknown type".
Together with the facts established during the reconstruction of events near the cedar and in the stream bed, the following intersecting signs are obtained:
A shock wave, at least three scattered facts indicate this:
- the forensic expert's assumption made on the basis of the injury picture.
- breakage of a mechanical watch is also a very characteristic sign of the presence of a shock wave.
- a symmetrical break in the crown of a cedar.
Small size 1-2 millimeters and high impact rate of traumatic impact:
- visually inconspicuous wounds on three bodies in areas of extensive internal injuries
- the presence of "water hammer" expressed in body postures that do not involve agonal movements
The kinetic nature of the traumatic effect:
- input injuries have output injuries complementary to them.
- entry wounds are always less than the exit wounds due to inhibition in the victim's body
This is about signs that have more than one confirmation, but several, moreover, found in different places on the slope of height 1079.
But there are facts that do not have points of intersection with the rest, these are:
- breaks in the snow
- signs of falling bodies towards traumatic effects
- superficial damage to open and closed skin areas
While this is inexplicable, in addition, the radiation found on the things of tourists can also be directly related to the events at the pass.
The term "water hammer" requires a separate explanation; this term is used by military surgeons to describe injuries associated with a high velocity of a bullet in the victim's body. Then the damage to the body occurs not due to mechanical damage to the tissues of the body, but due to the passage of a shock wave inside the body, which leads to the destruction of the autonomic nervous system, which is expressed in instant death without agonal movements.
"Hydroblow" occurs when the victim is hit by a blunt bullet at a speed of at least 700 m / s and for sharp-pointed bullets at a speed of at least 900 m / s. It seems like a paradox, but pure physics works here, I will try to explain this fundamental point.
The shock wave in the victim's body arises when the "nose" of the bullet spreads the body tissues in the wound channel, and the spread is not along the axis of the bullet's movement, but perpendicular to the axis of movement.
The speed at which the body tissues move apart depends on the configuration of the "nose" of the bullet, if it is dull then the spreading of the body tissues occurs at a greater speed than in the case of a sharp "nose" of the bullet.
If the speed of expansion of body tissues becomes greater than the speed of propagation of sound inside the body, then a shock wave will inevitably arise, as in the movement of an airplane with a speed of greater than the speed of sound.
And this shock wave inside the victim's body destroys the nervous system, resulting in instant death without agonal movements. This same shock wave can break bones, especially in areas of sudden changes in body density, a phenomenon known for contusions and wounds to the chest and head.
Based on the sum of the facts, it follows that the tourists were injured by a bullet with a diameter of about a millimeter and a speed exceeding the speed of sound in the human body, this is about 1300-1500 m / s.
Such striking elements have been known since the 50s of the last century, they were used and are used in special rifles, which were at that time both in the USSR and the USA. But this weapon is what is called "special use", little is known about it, their cartridges have a special design and are called cartridges with a "arrow-shaped bullet", this is how they look:
The arrow-shaped bullet is about a millimeter in diameter and is made of heavy and durable metal such as tungsten or depleted uranium. The arrow in the barrel is accelerated as in artillery sub-caliber shots, with the help of calibrating tabs, which are reset after the bullet leaves the barrel, this is how it happens in reality:
Similar damaging elements are used in shrapnel shells, this is the so-called "arrow-shaped shrapnel". Such shrapnel is in service with army units, including in Russia, here is this projectile in the cut, it contains about 7 thousand "shooters":
Military trials of rifles with arrow-shaped bullets took place in 1956-1957 in the United States and in 1960 in the USSR, so theoretically this technology could be used at the Dyatlov Pass. But the "commandos" have a one hundred percent alibi, such arrow-shaped bullets cannot break ten ribs, corny the bullet does not have enough energy.
An arrow that looks more like a needle and weighs less than a gram, in order to have a destructive power equivalent to a heavy rifle bullet, you need to fly at a speed of at least 3000 m / s. Even modern powder technologies cannot provide such speeds. If it was an arrow-shaped bullet, then it was dispersed in some unknown way.
But even a speed of 3 kilometers per second cannot explain all the man-made traces found at the pass, the arrow speed should be an order of magnitude higher, in the region of 30 km / sec. Well, and most importantly, suppose that such a speed is provided for a bullet weighing less than a gram, this is, in general, realistic given the fact that multi-ton objects in space mankind has learned to accelerate to speeds of 15-20 km / s.
But a bullet at such a speed will necessarily burn out from friction even before it hits the target, just as multi-ton orbital objects burn out without a trace when falling from space to earth.
So the preservation of the integrity of the bullet flying at a speed of about 10-50 km / s in a dense atmosphere, and not the speed itself, this is fantastic …
Fantastic but real story nonetheless
If we are stuck in the presence of some fantastic technologies, then we will leave the topic of the pass for now. I will give an example of one such absolutely fantastic and nevertheless real technology, directly related to the topic under discussion.
It will be about torpedoes (more precisely about submarine missiles) "Shkval". By a strange coincidence, the beginning of work on this topic in the USSR began in 1960, exactly one year after the events at the pass.
The work began with absolutely zero theoretical and practical groundwork, no one could ever even imagine that it was possible to move under water at a speed of 500 km / h (and now it is more than 800 km / h). And nevertheless, at the end of the seventies of the last century, such an underwater torpedo was not only developed, but also put into service in the USSR.
Experts in the United States, even after intelligence provided photos and videos of this top-secret torpedo at that time, did not believe in its real existence. The speed of 500 km / h under water seemed to the experts an absolute fantasy.
At the Pentagon at the end of the 70s, as a result of the calculations carried out, scientists proved that such high speeds under water are technically impossible. Therefore, the United States military department treated the incoming information about the development in the Soviet Union of a high-speed torpedo from various intelligence sources as planned disinformation.
But here it is in reality, after declassification:
Pay attention to its nose, there is a "cavitator" that is exactly what, until recently, a secret device allows a rocket-torpedo to develop such fantastic speeds under water.
The torpedo is, of course, fantastic, no doubt, but no less fantastic is the very fact of the beginning of these works, so that serious guys-bureaucrats would allocate not small funds for the "crazy" idea, but this is what is called "fantasy". There must be a very convincing argument for government officials to start funding such a large-scale project.
And nevertheless, the creation of a rocket-torpedo begins with a decree of the USSR government under the number SV No. 111-463 dated April 1960. The main designer of the rocket-torpedo is Research Institute No. 24, today it is the State Research and Production Enterprise "Region". The sketch of the project was prepared by 1963, at the same time the project was approved for development. This is how the artist portrayed her "flight" in a cavitation "bubble":
So there is a place for fantastic technologies in our world …
And state secrets have been kept for decades, now this technology is used in maneuvering warheads of intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are capable of “diving” and maneuvering in dense layers of the atmosphere at speeds of 7-10 km / sec.
For movement in the atmosphere, this technology has the unofficial name "Plasma Shelter", but the idea is the same as in the rocket-torpedo "Shkval" - the creation of a discharged cavity in which a high-speed object moves. Under water, the cavitation cavity is created by a special device called a "cavitator", the principle of its operation is no longer a secret at the moment. In the atmosphere, the plasma layer between the body and the gaseous medium is created by a special "cold" plasma generator, how it works is unknown.
In fact, the technology has remained secret for more than 50 years, a partial leak of information occurred during perestroika, and only in terms of movement under water. The air component of the technology, which allows the development of hypersonic speeds in the atmosphere, remains a "secret behind seven seals."
At the moment, only Russia possesses this absolutely secret technology, and the roots of this technology may be directly related to the events at the Dyatlov Pass.
Closer to the subject
Oddly enough, friction reduction technology was originally applied in small arms, and precisely in arrow-shaped bullets. It is known about Shiryaev's cartridges of 13, 2mm caliber with arrow-shaped bullets (developed in the mid-60s), equipped with a pyrophoric substance that ignites in flight and forms a "cold" plasma with a temperature of about 4000 degrees. You can read about it here:
In fact, the "Plasma Shelter" technology was used to reduce the friction of the bullet against the air and, accordingly, increase the firing range.
For several decades after that nothing was known about the technology, but at the beginning of 2000 it was again "lit up". Shiryaev's large-caliber cartridge with an arrow-shaped bullet was used in the Ascoria sniper rifle, here is her only public photo with these cartridges:
The rifle is shrouded in myths, it seems to have been used in Chechnya, like an aiming range of almost 5 km, and other fantastic parameters in terms of armor-piercing and destructive power.
We will not fantasize, we state the obvious, at the very beginning of the 60s in the USSR, work began on the introduction of technology for reducing friction during high-speed movement in water and gas. This technology has been successfully applied in various areas of weapons and still has the status of absolute secrecy.
Considering that in the events at the Dyatlov pass there are signs of the use of high-speed small-diameter bullets in which this technology was used, and the incident itself occurred a year before the official start of work on this topic, it can be assumed that these events are related.
This is of course a hypothesis, we will try to substantiate it in the future, for this we will have to explain the still incomprehensible facts:
- breaks in the snow
- signs of falling bodies towards traumatic effects
- superficial damage to open and closed skin areas
- radioactive stains of contamination on the clothes of tourists
If this can be done, only then can this hypothesis be transferred to the category of a working version.
In the meantime, the obvious conclusion is that if the hypothesis is correct, then we have an example of the use of ANOTHER technology, such revolutionary technologies do not appear from “nowhere”, and they don’t just roll around in the Ural mountains ….
