"Known Medveditskaya ridge and terrible deaths. In 1990, a shepherd allegedly died there. The man flashed up like a match on a flat spot, and burnt to the ground in a matter of minutes. And in August 1993, the amateur-ufologist from Krasnodar Territory disappeared here. He went on scouting, and when they rushed to look for him, then on the spot where they saw the man for the last time, they found a giant funnel. "
.n.b. funnel=crater
Tempalov thought he saw craters at the foot of the west side of Kholat.

If he thought he saw craters I wonder why he didnt investigate them ! ?
--- End quote ---
He was taken off the investigation after a few days?

Plenty of time to Investigate them though.

Lightning strike aided and abetted by a Fuel Tank
--- End quote ---
A near empty diesel tank (diesel doesn't ignite with sparks?). An exploding fuel tank would bulge the concrete, here there's just a crater.

But it could explode under pressure. Any way it does show the power of Lightning.

Do we know for certain he didn't?

Thats true. He may well have Investigated them along with other things and then been told to shut up by his superiors. As Nigel reminds us he was soon taken off the Dyatlov Case.

Declassified CIA document of a reported "bright source of light" that sounds like it occurred in the region of the Kursk magnetic anomaly (east of the Urals but similar ferrous soils, similar sightings of "fire orbs" and UFO's for the area.)
If you poke around some of the other documents compiled here, there are several of interest in various ways; I'd never heard of "Sverdlovsk Sickness" or "Ural Sickness" but the Russian government listed "working conditions, weakened immune systems and *weather conditions*" as the top factors.

If true it seems that the Soviet Authorities told the Pilots to not ask questions about what they were seeing. Sounds a bit strange.

A couple thoughts come to mind.
-the authorities knew what it was and wanted no one to speak of it
-the authorities feared it was something developed by another country and didn't want the other country to think it was successful
-the author it is had no clue what it was and didn't want the pilots asking questions they couldn't answer
-the authorities thought the crew was nuts but didn't want them losing their jobs because they were good pilots

Hard to say. Sometimes 'Commercial Pilots' report UFO's and it gets into the 'Public Domain', other times it gets hushed up quickly.
