UFOs/light spheres

Invariably, whenever a case involving strange deaths or disappearances in the open or wild is discussed, the question of unidentified flying objects and extraterrestrials arises. One item in particular is the mention of lights or light spheres in the night skies. One aspect of these lights is examined in much greater detail in Chapter 8 (the Yury Yakimov theory).

This unusual phenomenon of light spheres was observed in the skies in 1959 (and also later) in different parts of the northern Urals and also in Ivdel. The movement of light spheres across the sky, their shape and time of appearance are described similarly by Mansi hunters, tourists (i.e. hikers/skiers), meteorologists, the military and occasional observers. There are three possible explanations for these lights: they were tests of missiles, they were UFOs (or alien craft), or they were afterburners from Soviet fighter aircraft. Theorists in connection with the Dyatlov incident have focused on the presence of large lights in the night sky on 1 February. These lights were described as bright orbs and were seen by another group of ski hikers/tourists about 30 miles (48km) south of the Dyatlov group’s location. The UFO theorists claim the brightly lit orbs were responsible in some way for what happened to the Dyatlov group. Yet there is nothing to support the theory other than the fact that some members of the group suffered massive injuries that appeared to have no immediate rational explanation. There were no unexplained tracks or traces around the tent, along the route the party took, or around the areas where the bodies were found to suggest there was anyone or anything else there.

One further item that the UFO theorists have alighted on is the last photograph in one of the cameras that was found in the tent by the search parties. When it was developed, this photograph appeared to have been overexposed and showed what appeared to be bright lights against a black background, which gives some credence to the UFO theory, or at least to the theory that the bright orbs that had been observed in the sky had something to do with what happened to the group. However, it is also possible that the photo was genuinely an overexposure. It has also been suggested that the overexposure of that particular photo was caused by a member of the search party, who may have picked up the camera and accidentally caused the camera to take a picture that was badly exposed.

If the orbs had come close to the tent, one would have expected the members of the group to observe them in puzzlement at first, as presumably no noise was made by them. The evacuation of the tent in a complete panic does not support this view and, if a picture had been taken of the orbs, it would seem to suggest that whoever took the picture had left the camera behind whilst running for his or her life. Whatever had happened strongly suggests that it happened in a
