Found a very interesting archive of photos. The greedy and greedy hand of various, unscrupulous, enthusiasts has not yet reached him. However, this is even good. If they knew about this archive, they would have tidied everything up for themselves long ago. And no one has ever seen these hundreds of megabytes of unique information.
In black and white photographs, search season in March 1959. By the way, one photo just shocked me. I have never seen anything like her. Search engines go along the elephant of the mountain. A burning lethal apparatus falls over their heads. It is evident that this is rocket fire. An anti-aircraft missile of the S-125 (Neva) missile system shot down a target aircraft. Let me remind you that the tests of this complex began in May 1958. Now it is no longer a secret, but I know where the missile regiment was located that carried out these tests. A secret air defense regiment was stationed near Severouralsk. I was born there and lived until I was 12 years old. Therefore, I remember how fighters flew over the city, what exercises were conducted there with the participation of air defense. Once I saw the fall of a shot down fighter. The MIG-21 plane crashed outside the city, and the pilot died in the crash. Therefore, there was no special secrecy in such exercises. Another thing is that in 1959 it was still an infrequent sight. But, as you can see, search engines quickly got used to it. Even in the picture, they are not looking at the plane shot down by a rocket, burning and falling.
The second photograph apparently shows a UFO flight. This is most likely the same target. The form, however, is unusual. Flying wing. But within the framework of all kinds of projects of the late 50s, this form is not mysterious.
Photo of a cedar from which the bodies of Dyatlov's group were found. There is a large piece of cloth on the branches of the tree. This is how the Mansi always did when they wanted to mark their sacred place. So, all the assurances of the Mansi that there are no sacred places on the mountain, apparently, were false. Otherwise, the appearance of scraps of fabric on the branches of a huge tree will not be logical to explain. The place is not just sacred. Perhaps it was here that they appeased with offerings of the spirits of the forest. I have never seen the analysis given, of the photograph of the cedar. I hope that this time, it only caught my eye.
Output. Not one version can be thrown out of the case. Each of them has a place to be in demand. On the pass, rocketry tests were obviously carried out. Rocket fire at target aircraft. Well, the huge cedar was a very scary cult place. So, the death of the unfortunate tourists, next to him, was not arranged by chance. However, this is all just another guess. Based on the unique photographs I found.
