Dyatlov Pass incident

Background Info

Back in 1959 7 men and 2 women went on a ski trip in the North Ural mountains of the Soviet Union. After a while nobody has seen he group and they began to worry since a large snowstorm went through that area during the time they were supposed to be there. It was found that they pitched a tent on one of the slopes the night they all died. After a while of not hearing from the group a search party was organized and they found the bodies of the group naked and frozen to death. The weird part about this case is that the tent was sliced open with a knife from the inside, all of the party’s belongings were still inside the tent except for the skis. Another weird thing worth mentioning is that some but not all of them had signs of internal trauma, and there were traces of radiation on the clothes some of them had on. Nobody knows what happened, why it happened, or even how any of this happened but some people came up with some crazy theorizes. Some of the crazy theories I have come across where yetis and aliens, while some more realistic ones could be an avalanche.

My Thoughts

Personally I am going to take the more reasonable approach to what I think happened. The avalanche theory makes the most sense to me however that does not explain the half of it. We analyze this case and there are just way to many outliers and weird occurrences to even come close to finding out what happened. If the military and authorities cant figure out what happened all these years later I do not think anyone ever will.
