I'd never heard of this incident, either. Great horror movie material.

Not unexplained, but would be a good horror movie:

Howdy all, doing fine, but I am still in Connecticut (unfortunately?).
SJS: the whole LDS movement and Brigham Young history would make for an intense movie. The more I read about it, the more screwed up and crazy it sounds. You Mormons have one hell of a history, no pun intended. Twila: You know about it? Ever been? The whole article seems innocent enough until you see the orange skin, high radiation and...missing tongue? WTF?!?! OMG...just discovered The Bloop so much for sleep tonight.

More on The Bloop:
The sound, traced to somewhere around 50° S 100° W (South American southwest coast), was detected repeatedly by the Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array, which uses U.S. Navy equipment originally designed to detect Soviet submarines. According to the NOAA description, it "rises rapidly in frequency over about one minute and was of sufficient amplitude to be heard on multiple sensors, at a range of over 5,000 km." According to scientists who have studied the phenomenonit matches the audio profile of a living creature but there is no known animal that could have produced the sound. If it is an animal, it would have to be, reportedly, much larger than even a Blue Whale, the largest known animal on the earth....*GONK*... It's the Cloverfield Monster, no doubt about it.

I listened to the Bloop sound on wiki. I just love it. Then I went to the "Slow Down" page and listened to that. That one really creeped me out. I
have no idea what would make that noise in the middle of the ocean.
The Dyatlov incident reminded me of the tragedy of Everest on May 11, 1996. I have Jon Krakauer's book, "Into Thin Air." I also have Beck Weathers' book, "Left For Dead." Krakauer mentions his own bout of hypoxia on the way down to camp. He thought he was wearing English walking tweeds and realized he was losing his grip on reality due to lack of oxygen. Weathers tells of going back home and having his frostbitten toes fall off walking down the hall. No mysteries but it's just an incredible story. |

I read about that incident not to long ago, there are some rational ideas as to what happened:
The big fact that gets lost in the re-telling of this story is that the bodies weren't found until weeks later. It's not like somebody turned their back, then five minutes later all their friends were dead and half naked. That makes the missing tongue a lot easier to explain. As disturbing as it may be, the first thing a scavenging animal is going to go for is probably the soft tissue of an open mouth, especially if it still smelled like the burrito the hiker just ate. Laying out in the sun surrounded by white snow for days also accounts for the weird tan. The trauma and the destroyed tent points to an avalanche. Their state of undress can be explained by paradoxical undressing, a known behavior of hypothermia victims when their brains start to freeze and malfunction. In other words, it's the kind of behavior you'd expect from a group of injured avalanche victims wandering around in the middle of the night in the freezing cold. What about the radioactivity? Or stranger details that turn up in some accounts, like orange lights in the sky? Well, there's the fact that none of that stuff turns up in the original documents from the incident, and appears to have been added later by people who just can't resist making things spookier than they are. It's those later accounts that have stuck in the public memory, because so many of the original reports were destroyed (this
was the Cold War-era Soviet Union, which treated casserole recipes as state secrets).

Yeah, from that font of rational ideas, Cracked.com.
Looks more like the usual superficial dismissive noise you get from the self-styled "skeptic" rags. "Nothing other than a tragic hiking accident" is a non-starter. "What went wrong was everything."

I'm betting the Glorious Soviet Army blowed them up.

What is the weird counting radio stations? Number relays or something? I know someone here remembers, that'll keep CrayZ awake.

You mean: Number Stations? Those creep me right the fuck
out.
Try this one on for size: The Ourang Medan Or, if you ever watched Incident At Hanging Rock, check out the case of the Beaumont Children.

I do not like creepy things when I have a cat who loves to jump on my head in the middle of the night!

It always bugs me when I see words like "realize" on Wikipedia, but spelled with an "s"
