Perception vs. Reality

MDGross:
At the heart of the theories involving naturally-occurring phenomena is the question of perception versus reality. What did a member or members of the Dyatlov group THINK was happening? Did a sudden hurricane-force wind sound like an avalanche? Could an avalanche several miles away sound like it was much closer (the sound carried on the wind and intensified by the mountains)? Could a small movement of snow seem like a much larger one? Could a sudden wind blow snow so violently that it looked like an avalanche? What did they BELIVE was happening on that fatal night when they fled the tent in fear of their lives? Of course, the maddening thing is we'll never know for certain. We can only speculate, and we'll always have more questions than answers.
For those theories that involve exploding missiles, military exercises, or murder by the KBG or Soviet military, the problem I think is in finding documentation, which after nearly 61 years is nearly impossible.

Nigel Evans:
I've camped in the UK in winter during a storm and can understand the idea of the wind sounding like an avalanche. Didn't get a lot of sleep that night.

However a good answer might be that Nicolai and Semyon were well dressed for the cold  and Semyon seems to have been photographing something so it's commonly believed they were outside at the time of the "event" as the observed  footsteps supported this view. Also whatever made them flee the tent lightly dressed seems to have encouraged them to stay in the forest and not return? So a weather phenomena theory seems to be an outlier. The Russian government doesn't seem to agree of course.  kewl1

narvikk:
I don’t think it was something you mentioned. They would realize soon it’s not a real threat and they would return soon. It was something different in my opinion.

Star man:
It is possible that perception may have been a component of what happened.  This is similar in principal to the infra sound theory, where such sound can induce dead or fear. 

However I think that some very real threat is more likely to be involved.

After the fall of the USSR there has been a fairly steady flow of INFORMATION coming out of Russia to do with this Dyatlov Mystery. And much of this information reduces the perception that you are referring to. And there is likely to be more information to come out of Russia.
