Title: That "Killer Yeti" frame #17 photo
Post by: Tracker on January 08, 2019, 04:56:11 PM
At first I was thinking it's definitely not a photo of a Menk. Here's the odd thing about it. The subject does not appear to be wearing a baggy jacket. You can see separation of arm's and a portly torso outline. Were any of the group that size in the torso? What about 38 yr old Zolotaryov?

They all look small frame and lean in the pictures even with layered clothes. I know the height of that figure is hard to determine. With that said I use to climb mountains and hike for days and the figure in the frame #17 does not look like a trim cross country skier/hiker.

 I also add a picture of a print from the scene that looks kinda big for a person.

What are the typical body proportions for a yeti or big foot? Arm length to body length?  Could base calculations on the pattinson footage maybe assuming that is supposed to be credible ?  Can then compare body and arm length ratio for shot 17. Probably worth a try.  It’s what I would do. Obviously if the ratio is significantly different to average human then there might be something in it?

From what I gather of the multitude of sightings of Big Foot type creatures over the years it seems that between 7 and 9  feet in height is about right.  And long arms. And no neck to speak of. So the figure in the photo could be at least 7 feet tall and it does have long arms and no neck to speak of.

Its called a hooded coat. 

The knee area that tapers to leggings is the giveaway there.

In order

Their jackets don't seem to be tight fitting. So unless the guys wearing 6 wooly sweaters, he is very stocky. Did any of the 9 have a heavy build? They all seem very trim in the pictures. Which is what you would expect for long distance skier/hikers.

Also you can't use the 57-60% arm length to body proportions rule because the figures both arms are bent.

Not a match. The figure is not wearing that jacket other wise it would be tapered at waist, neck and flared out at hip as illustrated. And is much heavier built or wearing extra clothes.

Am I expected to believe 'anything' can be discerned for an extremely fuzzy/grainy/blurry black/white photo from 1959? 

Again....   why is Yeti wearing leggings?

First of all I never said it was a Yeti. I mentioned a few times the figure seems heavy built for a skier. And asked a few times if any of the 9 were stocky built. And  if the fuzzy/griany/blurry/black/white photo from 1959 is so bad then you can't confirm its wearing leggings either. From the lower knees down the figure is standing in snow.

Again... "that figure" is Not wearing a 3/4 length baggy army style jacket and appears too heavy built for a lean skier/hiker.
Perhaps some think they know the case so well that there's no other possibilities. Could be why the case remains unsolved?

Its called keeping it real.  Dont patronize the staff. 

On the contrary, I know all too well the possibilities are abundant. Perhaps thats why I also know this photo is nothing new.  I would also be a rich man if I had a dollar for every time someone newly 'discovers' this photo as Yeti OR any other individual not part of the Dyatlov group.

Believers don't need any evidence or reason, they will just desperately hold to any "evidence" they see, no matter how little probable it is. Blurry photo of a guy in obviously two coloured clothes? "Yeti". Humorous mention in a satirical "newspaper" written by tourists? "Another proof of yeti". Hell, they can even have magical powers of mind speak (seriously, this is what Tracker wrote in another post).
Well, if I was one of the students who thought he had seen, and even photographed, a yeti, I sure as hell would be running with the tail between my legs all the way back to Sverdlovsk  grin1
They just continued they journey, brave bastards. Or maybe they had been some proto-Greenpeace activits who believed in good intentions of yetis  lol1 "Don't hurt us, oh noble beast, for we come in peace"!

You clearly started this fiasco as quoted above.

Point taken point made. Not a fiasco, an attempt to have an open discussion in an open forum of that infamous picture evidence.

The main issue is, there was several days between when this picture was taken and the night they died. Being stalked by a giant hairy animal would have resulted in many pages of panicked diary entries.   But nooooo.....  not a peep.

The figure is not a Yeti but is heavier than what one might expect for a cross country skier. They might not of understood what was occurring related to Yeti watching them.

Its winter.  In winter people (including the DP group) usually dress appropriately.

So your saying the picture is not of Yeti because Yeti may have not been present or otherwise hiding. Therefore this image is of someone else stalking them. 

Ill state it again but word it correctly this time.

I don't think it's this guy, because the jacket is tighter at the waist.

I'm thinking more about Thibeaux-Brignolle, his jacket is different, and the overall shape is very similar to the guy in frame 17:

Indeed, this photo of "yeti" suggests that the colour of trousers was slightly different than this of jacket.

If they had concerns in this direction why would they leave so much food in a labaz?

Thats true we would expect to see plenty of references in the diary's or notes made if they had have been stalked by some creature / person, but thats assuming of course that they knew that they were being stalked. And also we have to assume that no notes or diary entries went missing.

A good question but lets not forget that most expeditions tend to have food and provisions at depots en route.

Post by: Nordlander on March 28, 2019, 11:30:28 AM
I know the photo is generally thought to be Tibo taking a pee, but I'm not entirely convinced. Reasons:

--doesn't look like a hood in the picture. Looks like a ski mask
--as already noted, Tibo wasn't as stocky or short-waisted as this guy
--the Dyatlov crew are excellent photographers. This picture is out of focus, as though someone snapped it quickly to catch someone unexpected.
--the figure itself looks startled, as though he didn't want to be captured on film.

I don't believe in Menk/Bigfoot: where I am from, sightings are almost always bear. Bear can walk on their hind legs for a short time and also use their paws as arms in certain circumstances.

It's true that there are no mentions of being followed in the diary. But I thought this picture was at the end of a roll, and maybe if they DID see this person and initially thought he was a Menk, that's where the "snowman" comment comes from in "The Evening Otorten." They just laughed it off.

There are those who are so obsessed with Menk, Bigfoot or Alien scenarios- and nothing you will say will change their minds - however- I do believe there is a possibility that the hikers were being followed by someone outside of their group- this photo was taken on a rushed spur of the moment and that is why it is so out of focus. It does make you wonder- I still think this was murder - that is listening to my heart of hearts -a genuine  gut feeling- too many unexplained  injuries- Someone helped them die that night - not Bigfoot or aliens though - like someone on here once said - we need to keep it real - cheers

Well Iam keeping it real. This is a real Investigation. And this Topic is Investigating an unknown photograph. Many people have witnessed unknown and unusual figures in remote areas that they cant explain. Different parts of the World have their sightings and different names ascribed to those unknown figures. In the area of Russia [ former USSR ] where the Dyatlov Group travelled, those figures are called MENK by the local Mansi Tribes.

Hi, sarape,

I heard about these and mapped the location some years back. Stories about large upside down cauldrons and I will leave it at that. There was an actual expedition aa few years back and some of the members got very sick. They are northwest of Yakutsk which is on the Lena River.

I hope you can look at these, they seem to be what you talk about. May I ask where in England you saw a crop circle being made? Just curious.

Interesting. I havnt heard this before about Cauldrons. The one drawing reminds me of ICE HOUSES. Popular in olden times to keep food fresh during summertime. Any way The Crop Circle phenomenom that I witnessed was in Herefordshire, England.  Herefordshire is one of the most rural and sparsely populated counties in England. I used to go there a lot.

That is what is known as a "BLOBSQUATCH"

The picture is taken with a "potato camera" and ONLY used for pics of UFO's, the Loch Ness Monster, Elvis and of course Squatches. There are no other uses for those cameras. Even Flip Phones are good for that mess.
