HANG ON, LEMME GET MAH SCEPTIC HAT ON.
Okay, so weird disappearance/deaths of a bunch of Russian skiers in the late 1950's. Here's a few facts about the accident that conspiracy nuts will inevitably portray in a sinister light in order to make it seem like the gov'mint/UFOs/Bigfoot/mole people/David Icke were responsible:
- The victims' tent was "cut from the inside".
- Five in the group exited the tent wearing little or no clothing. Four others were dressed normally.
- There were many internal injuries and broken bones, but little or no external damage was found.
- One person was missing her tongue.
- The victims had a "strange orange tan" and grey hair at their funeral.
- There were "strange orange spheres" in the sky during the time of the Dyatlov pass accident.
Okay, so the tent was cut from the inside. How can they tell? The material the tents were made from look flimsy as shit going by the photos; how could they possibly figure where the material was cut from?
As for the clothing thing, that doesn't seem too incredible. Suppose something dangerous was occurring nearby, like say an avalanche or an animal attack; it seems quite likely that they would have grabbed whatever they could find to wear or even just run outside to escape whatever it was with the intention of returning later once the danger was gone. There's also a proven connection between victims of hypothermia being found in various states of undress.
They say that there were internal injuries and broken bones but no external damage. Yet of the investigators how many of them were medical professionals who knew how to recognise the signs of injuries properly (bruising and what-not)? Not many I would wager, and apart from anything else several days of exposure to hostile elements will no doubt have made it hard to spot signs on the bodies; it's entirely possible the investigators missed something.
The missing tongue is slightly odd, I will grant you, but it could well have been taken by a scavenging animal or bitten off in a panic/death throes.
Moving on to the "strange orange tan and grey hair" that was reported. There's plenty of explanations for this; the bodies were displayed open-casket a long time after death, so the strange appearance could well have just been the coroner doing their best to make them look as human as possible given the circumstances. The dark skin isn't that weird either; skiers often return from trips extremely sunburnt or tanned, and that seems like a plausible explanation for this. I would also stress that the source of this "weird looking corpses" thing was a 12 year-old boy; not exactly what you'd call the most reliable source.
And finally for the weird glowing spheres thing, well isn't that just fucking convenient? Strange blinky lights in the sky aren't exactly a supernatural phenomenon; it could have been anything from meteors to a passing aircraft. Let's not make a big deal out of nothing.
So yes, in summary it sounds like a pretty horrific accident and we're probably never going to get to the bottom of it. At a stretch I'll admit that the skiers could have found themselves unwittingly in an area being used for weapons-testing; that's as reasonable an explanation as any. I'd also go with animal attack of some kind. But for god's sake guys, just because it's a bit weird doesn't mean to need to start screaming "OH MAH GAWD ALIENS!"
That's just fucking silly.
