There are many places on Earth that have a reputation among local residents as "unclean", "prodigal", and even damned, demonic.
Now they are called “scientifically” - anomalous areas, geoactive or geopathogenic zones. With a positive impact on a person, these are sacred places, with a negative impact - geopathogenic zones. But from the scientific nature of the names, they did not become less mysterious.
Breath of the Sleeping Lion
The Razvalka mountain, located in the North Caucasus near the city of Zheleznovodsk, can be attributed to a number of sacred ones. At its modest height - 720 meters above sea level - it is often referred to simply as a "hill". And for the disorder of elevation, for the similarity in configuration with the resting king of animals, it is sometimes called the Sleeping Lion.
In summer on the slopes of Razvalka it is pleasant to take a break from the stuffiness and heat. Even when the heat reaches over 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature on the mountain surface is measured at 5-6 degrees. The fact is that the depth of the permafrost layer here reaches 9 meters. On a plot of about a hectare, the soil never thaws even in the hottest season.
This is partly due to the cold air that comes from the bowels of the mountain. In severe winter frosts, the wind blows from the cracks, the temperature of which is above zero, about 8 degrees. Therefore, the Razvalka slope in this place turns green with grass in winter, and some fruits ripen on it, cherry plum bushes bear fruit.
Researchers tried to figure out the reason for this phenomenon. There are many voids in the bowels of the Breakup, and for some reason they are filled with cold air. In the summer, it leaves through the cracks, and warm air enters its place. There is a gradual circulation. But until the end, the secret of the breathing of the Sleeping Lion remains unsolved. There are similar natural refrigerators, islands of permafrost, and in other southern regions: in Romania, in Italian Lombardy, in the Pamir Gorno Badakhshan, in the Chinese province of Liaoning.
There are plenty of remarkable places in the North Caucasus besides Razvalka. But in the last two decades of the 20th century, new messages have often come from here about mysterious and unknown phenomena. Not only over the giant Elbrus, but also over the smaller mountains - Beshtau, Mashuk, Razvalka, these UFOs, which seem to have already set the teeth on edge, and nevertheless mysterious and intriguing, are increasingly observed.
The path to the base
In February 1989, a large number of people observed many luminous objects of various shapes. The flight routes started from Elbrus. Although thousands of people have visited the peaks of the two-headed giant for half a century, according to the testimony of the local mountaineers, there are still many places where no man has stepped foot. "It may not be possible to find a base of space aliens," they say, "but you need to look closely …"
In August, in the area of Mount Beshtau, two identical circular flat objects were observed. One of them glowed with a blue light and appeared from the west, and the second with a green glow - from the south. Both slowly, silently moved towards each other at an altitude of about 4 km. And then something happened …
Both objects, approaching each other at a distance of about five kilometers, stopped. A red ball separated from one and flew towards the second object. But when he approached, not having reached about a quarter of the distance, a thin white beam was directed at him from this second object. Under the influence of the beam, the ball began to increase in size and change its color - from red to white. Then there was a sound like a slap, and the beam disappeared, and the ball fell not far from the eyewitness. Both objects slowly retreated in the same directions they came from.
On December 16, 2003, a resident of Lermontov and his friends were resting at a hot hydrogen sulphide spring, not far from the male Second-Athos monastery. Suddenly they noticed three figures standing 400 meters higher along the mountainside. The figures were about two meters tall in yellow, silver and blue colors. They stood motionless, and a faint radiance emanated from them. The observers did not feel either surprise or fear at that moment. Mysterious creatures looked at people from above, as if watching them. Then they did not leave, did not fly away, but simply disappeared into the air …
The company witnessed a phenomenon of clearly extraterrestrial origin, Stanislav Donets, Pyatigorsk enthusiast of UFO research, is sure. Aliens are reality; they visit Earth; and one of the permanent "bases" of space guests in the region of the Caucasian Mineral Waters is Mount Beshtau. And it is not by chance that the aliens appeared near the monastery: these objects were built in places "open to space and saturated with positive energy."
But the abbot of the Second Athos Monastery on Mount Beshtau is of the opposite opinion. In the doctrine of the Russian Orthodox Church, there is no place for aliens from other galaxies. The head of the Department of Physics of the Pyatigorsk Technological University, Professor Andrei Chernobabov, also approached the event with doubt. As a scientist, he trusts only the facts established by scientific research. But as a person, as an eyewitness, he suddenly confesses that he himself once saw something similar to a UFO in the sky!
Fear and awe
The list of mysterious anomalous zones and places, by the way, often associated with mountain regions and individual heights, is extensive. In a section of the Bukantau mountain range in the Central Kyzyl Kum mountains in Uzbekistan, rumors of crashed UFOs spread. The expedition that left at the end of the 80s of the last century did not find any traces of the disaster.
But in the Sarmysh gorge, ancient rock paintings of people in strange clothes were discovered, which can be interpreted as images of space aliens. Similar rock paintings are known to have been found in caves in Spain, China, France and elsewhere. Some of them were made 10-15 thousand years BC.
There has long been an unusual rumor about one of the high points of lowland Russia in the Volgograd region - Mount Blue. Either she attracted thunderclouds and lightning discharges to her, then they noticed light phenomena above her. In its zone, the behavior of animals changed. Cars passing by were stalling. Helicopters also fell under anomalous impact.
Krasnoyarsk Red Comb with a different shade. But he received fame not for his colors, but for the manifestation of gravitational influences. There were cases of people being lifted off the ground not by somersaults or falling from a slope, but by lifting them in the air by the mysterious force of natural levitation.
