Such was the finding of other incidents. These incidents involved human beings, however.
In the Ural Mountains of Russia is a mountain called Kholat Syakhl by the local tribes. It means Mountain of the dead and in February of 1959 many reported seeing orange lights in the sky over the area. Today the area is called Dyatlov Pass after the leader of the group, 23 year old Igor Dyatlov.

The records were sealed up and labelled top secret . The mountain area itself was restricted for several years after ward.

Yudin hugs Dubinina goodbye |
Despite the -18°F temperatures and the dangerous route, this trip was not unusual for people with their level of experience.
Their tent was found smashed with all their clothing and shoes still inside and the bodies were all found at varying sites and distances from the tent.

Dyatlov ski poles twisted by unknown force |
Some died of hypothermia, all seemed to have been struck blind. Their skin had turned a orange-tan and their hair had turned gray. Several had their ribs completely crushed but with no outside trauma visible.The force necessary for such crushing was like that of a major car crash.
Two had skulls crushed in the same way and in the case of Lyudmila Dubinina, who had major chest injuries , her tongue and much of the oral cavity was gone.
Georgy Krivonischenko and Yury Doroshenko were found in underwear by a makeshift fire, made from branches of the pine above them, their hands charred and burnt. Slobodin, who was found 180 meters closer to the tent also had badly burnt hands.He and Zina Kolmogorova who was 150 meters from him, seem to have been trying to crawl back to the tent.
According to one article, "Nicolas Thibeaux-Brignollel, Ludmila Dubinina, Alexander Kolevatov and Alexander Zolotaryov appeared to have suffered traumatic deaths. Thibeaux-Brignollel’s skull had been crushed, and Dubunina and Zolotarev had numerous broken ribs. Dubinina also had no tongue. The bodies, however, showed no external wounds." But, two of the party had radioactivity in their clothing.
Almost a decade later in the mountains of the Caucasus,another group of hikers was found thrown around like rag dolls. Circumstances were similar and when autopsies were complete it was found that none of the bodies had any bones left in their bodies. The bones had been liquified. Their blood streams contained abonormal amounts of calcium.They seemed to have been thrown a great distance. There were no outwards signs of trauma on the bodies.
Russians also sealed these reports and no more is available.
June 30th, 1908: Tunguska forests nearby residents had seen strange orange lights in the sky over the forest and these lights continued in the northern skies until July 3rd of that year.Silvery masses of clouds were seen by scientists in many countries . One scientist described it as an "undulating mass" and said it seemed more like the very sky itself was quivering. The orange lights that appeared had no movement, no scintillation such as auroras have. It was concluded this was not an Aurora but something very strange.
Tesla has spoken of being able to light the ocean with a soft silvery steady light. In an interview with the American news he said "The lighting of the ocean ... is only one of the less important results to be achieved by the use of this invention . I have planned many of the details of a plant which might be erected at the Azores and which would be amply sufficient to illuminate the entire ocean so that such a disaster as that of the Titanic would not be repeated. The light would be soft and of very small intensity, but quite adequate to the purpose." He was, of course speaking of his magnified wireless transmission of electrical power.

Tunguska then and now |
There was no crater, and when the site was drilled, the ground was found denuded of all nickel, iron and stone down to a depth of 118 feet.
Tesla stated, "It is perfectly practical to transmit electrical energy without wires and produce destructive effects at a distance. I have already constructed a wireless transmitter which makes this possible. ... But when unavoidable may be used to destroy property and life. The art is already so far developed that the great destructive effects can be produced at any point on the globe, defined beforehand with great accuracy"
Tesla's machine was more than capable of such destruction and the result of Tunguska were consistent with the release of high power such as his "death ray" would produce.
Was someone experimenting with Tesla like power in the Urals and Caucasus mountains?
The power can vary. It does not have to be Tunguska- like. But something , some tremendously powerful force killed the hikers.
Something is killing birds and fish. Something percussive, or as the Soviet scientists who investigated the Ural incident put it they are dying due to "a compelling unknown force".
Is it related to experiments using Tesla's science? We don't know. We might never know.
Yuri Yudin, who became ill and left the expedition,said, "If I had a chance to ask God just one question, it would be, 'What really happened to my friends that night?'"
