This sounds like the plot for the next ‘X Files’ movie.

it also sounds similar to the plot in kafka on the shore.
especially the bright flying object. -

the friend who was left behind said their faces were more tan than usual… could it be because they were surrounded by snow and it is common to get burned by the reflection of the sun off of the snow? they never said anything about that…

It’s hard to believe that more than a week after the incident probably happened ‘investigators’ were able to come up with so much footprint evidence.

I just read about this in the San Francisco Chronicle homepage a few days ago. Creepy in the spirit of that Japanese manga about the human figured holes in the mountain side.

Just sounds like the Russians were experimenting with a dirty bomb and it blew up in their face.

Woah! Alex, are you a fan of the podcast show “Mysterious Universe”? If not than I think you really should listen to it. All about aliens, conspiracies, and general x-files stuff. Plus, the host is a great Australian fella with a killer accent. And his name is awesome. Benjamin Grundy!

I vote for the missle theory.
There were probably some missiles launched that went off course. Hit the mountain above the camp and caused a landslide. Thus causing the skiers to panic and leave camp with whatever they had on at the time. The injuries probably came from the landslide. And if there was radiation levels in their clothes it may have come from the snow where the missiles impacted and slid down covering the skiers with the radiation particles. -

OK, but what about the one with the missing tongue? Everything else can be explained with an avalanche, but why was the one missing her tongue?

I dunno about the tongue. Tongue sandwiches like granpa used to make?

She could’ve bit off her tongue during a traumatic shaking from a landslide hit. People say “missing tongue” when even half an inch is missing.
Really interesting story!

Wow…this is weird. Thanks for posting.
But if you click on the link it takes you to that article, right? Well in the first picture it shows the four skiers. The one on the ground in it, Zina Kolmogorova, looks a lot like Kiera Knightley. Did anyone else notice that? -

Nine skiers “was” trapped?

scavenger animals often eat the tongue first — it’s soft, accessible and pure protein. people find dead deer and other animals in the woods with no tongues…little field mice can eat those very easily down to a clean nub.

Ah, fixed - thanks for pointing out the error, ted.

It would be interesting to know if there were conspicuous military demotions near the time this occurred. Could anyone else but military have killed these people in such a manner? So they had to try and cover it up with UFO speculation. It was a sloppy murder, I imagine there were some very displeased military commanders as a result.
