Dyatlov Pass — Mansi Lights and Military Correlation 1959

◎Dyatlov Pass, Ural Mountains, USSR

On the night nine Soviet hiking students died at Dyatlov Pass in the Ural Mountains, multiple witnesses at separate locations observed luminous orbs over the Ural range. Soviet meteorological station records and Mansi tribal hunters' accounts described glowing spheres in the direction of the pass. The KGB investigation file, partially declassified, references 'fireballs' observed on the night of the deaths. The combination of unexplained deaths and simultaneous UAP observations made Dyatlov one of the most debated Cold War mystery events.
