@Very-Rusty

That's a very interesting case. Apparently, there are other witnesses. I think this is one case that needs to be investigated.
But it looks good.

45 years later, may be a bit late.

In 1959, something caused nine hikers to tear themselves from their tent in a snowstorm. What could the "unknowing compelling force" attributed to their deaths have been?

There was a time when husbands would take their wives to market, shouting their virtues to encourage a taker. It wasn't as long ago as you might imagine.

By far and away, one of the most compelling mysteries of the 20th century. I have read books on it, and engaged in multiple debates in forums, and it amazes me to this day that people refuse to look at reality,,, when it is scary. This is from the text in the link:
On the night of the incident, another group of hikers who were about 50 kilometres south, reported seeing strange orange spheres in the sky to their north.
From February to March of 1959, various witnesses reported these sightings, none of which were noted in the 1959 investigation.

In 1990, former police officer Lev Ivanov – who led the official inquest in 1959 – published an article in which he admitted the investigation team had no rational explanation for the incident.

He went on further to say that when his team had reported their own sightings of flying spheres, direct orders had been received from high-ranking officials demanding the claims be dismissed.

----------------------

Amazing, isn't it? and the last photo taken by the group was... you guessed it, the orange sphere hovering near them.

and nobody, and I mean nobody wants to even discuss it, hmmmm


EDIT to add - last photo

When horses were still a crucial part of fire fighting, it became necessary to install spiral staircases in fire stations. Can you guess why?
