Thanks KathleenDSmith1.
I've been having a watch of some old videos and getting some new/old thoughts, ideas.
Everything ties in for me, at least in a enough detail for it to happen as reported. The diary, the combat sheet, the photos , cutting the tent , the injuries, footprints etc.
Whether it's ball lightning, infrasound, avalanche or wolverine, I have to admit I dance around a bit. As if horses in a race, they keep overtaking each other. The avalanche is in the lead for me, I don't know enough about the other theories but don't rule them out.
I would be flabbergasted if it could be staged, mainly because of the snow and weather. I can't see how no trail or trace wouldn't be left behind for searcher's to see. An important part of that , are objects left in the snow at different levels , that would reveal themselves as the snow melted( which lead the Mansi to the den) . Plus just don't think anyone would leave undeveloped film in a camera.
A lot of the case files don't make sense because that's just how people write case files.
I can testify to you that from personal experience , when people write documents, most of it , is inoccent errors, people just don't care , they are thinking of what's for supper, don't get paid enough, seeing their lover the next day.
People saw lights in the sky all the time,rockets, missiles, meteor's but they only get recorded in people's memories when they can link it to something or an event for example, like the deaths of the hikers.
Technically, the dates of the expected return of the Dyatlov group and the start date of the search , are not that delayed, all things
considered . Perhaps our minds have been infected by too much media hype?.
When we are first introduced to information of the mystery, the date the 6th of February and the 27th of February are used as the base measures . The 6th is the start of the alleged faked criminal case, then the tent is not found untill the 26th, first bodies on the 27th. We can work out in our minds that's nearly 3 weeks! Lazy ,Stalinist soviet good for nothing people ,might spring to mind.
However , this is not the case. Dyatlov was not due back until the 12th-15th of February, add two days of bumbling communication, weather and then organising people etc, we are now at the 17th .I believe there is an air search and ground searcher's are on their way by the 21st of February starting from the last known sighting . So the delay ,if any ,is only 3 days in an official timeline.
It is logical to search from the last known sighting and the furthest point of the known route and this is what's done.
Are our minds being twisted that there was a deliberate delay ? It seems unlikely to me at least .
So this picture of them pitching the tent fits the timeline and the hike. I was reading another person's thoughts on the skis left standing at the tent. He thinks that they were placed there as the marker to find the tent on return, that it may have been buried by snow from them cutting the slope. This is in relation to two separate pair of foot prints eventually joining up with the other 6-7 prints.
We can definitely see 5 indaviduals in the picture and obviously the photographer is number 6 but if you compare the skis moving in the background , they are moved between the two frames suggesting others are using them to dig.
