Table 3. Check sample measurements (tissues of a person killed in a street accident, provided for comparison by forensic medical expert Dr Vozrozhdenny)

The investigation results shown in Tables 2 and 3 show no excess over average content of radioactive materials in human tissues.

Conclusions:

The content of radioactive materials in analyzed solid biosubstartes is within the natural level (and is due to the presence of isotope K-40).

The analyzed samples of clothing carry slightly excessive amounts of radioactive substances being the source of Beta-emission.

The detected radioactive materials or radioactive substance show a tendency to washing-off in the course of clothing samples washing, i.e., they are not due to a neutron flux or induced radiation, but rather to radioactive contamination with Beta-particles.

Observations by Yury Yakimov (in his own words) on the operations of the ‘light set’ he encountered and believes responsible for the Dyatlov group deaths (see Chapter 8).

Based on the observations made by V. Rudkovsky (forest ranger) and myself, some conclusions may be made:

  1.  The ‘light set’ makes its appearance after dark, in complete silence, emits light for four to four and a half hours and leaves with a noise resembling strong electric discharge (snapping). After the light is gone, a strong wind blows for two to three minutes.

  2.  The light emitted by the ‘set’ resembles that of a projector, like from halogen or neon lamps.

  3.  The light from the ‘set’ may oscillate vertically, go in different directions and change direction.

  4.  The source of the light may be located on or above the ground surface.

  5.  The ‘light set’ responds to human glance (or maybe to animal glance as well). From the source of light, torches separate and quickly move towards a person as if catching a human glance.

  6.  The light of the torches dazzles a person, like headlights or strong spotlight.

  7.  The light casts no shade from trees.

  8.  Torches may pass through the forest, dividing and swinging. Their number increases from two to eight.

  9.  The ‘set’ does not respond to turned-on electric lamp KC-2000.

10.  The ‘set’ does not respond to fire or a glowing cigarette.

11.  The ‘set’ does not respond to a human voice.

12.  The ‘set’ does not respond to sound of a car.

13.  The ‘set’ may appear at any time of the year and in any weather.

14.  The ‘set’ does not respond to human thermal energy, only to a glance.

If we adopt the version that the Dyatlov group met with a similar phenomenon on that tragic night, one more conclusion may be made:

15.  The ‘set’ displays aggression against man.

The ‘set’ is tuned to protect information from man. In case of a long glance on this phenomenon, a beam of light is sent from the source, it lights a person. Torches separate from the light source, they try to locate the human glance with their beams. They approach and getting closer than 50m they may send some narrow-focused shock wave aiming at a human glance, which may inflict severe injuries. It may be not just a shock wave, but a high-power infrasonic wave at 7–8Hz frequency, which may cause the feeling of panic in humans.

Probably there are other people who had seen such a phenomenon and can give more information about the ‘light set’. It leaves some negative psychological after-effect in a person who has watched it.
