The mystery of the accident Yakut UFO Ket-KAP

Yakut taiga conceals many mysteries. And one of them still not revealed what the unidentified flying object crashed in the early XX century on a distant mountain Ket-KAP, which translated into Russian means very strange: "the Ship fell." That in Yakutia, a UFO has crashed, it became known in 1928. According to one legend, this place was opened to the General public pilot Nikolay Oleynikov, who once suffered in the mountains of Yakutia accident, but managed to survive. Escaping the forest, he allegedly found the remains of a local hunter, and next to his body — an unusual knife: he was strong, sharp and very light.

Taking the knife, the pilot allegedly even specially came to Moscow and met with the aircraft designer Andrei Tupolev to find out some of the metal forged find. However, the Moscow engineers have been unable to determine what material is made the blade. Supposedly the knife at the pilot's gone, and all that was associated with it, classified. In principle, this turn of events was logical. Before the war, Soviet aircraft designers developed made of anodized aluminum, and any findings of lightweight and durable materials were of interest to them.

"The ship caught"

But in Yakutia the famous mountains of Ket-KAP is associated primarily with geologist M. Carpenter, who in the prewar years was looking at the Aldan gold for the Country Councils. In the scientific work of 1934, "Geology and gold Uchur-of Gulbinsko district of the Yakut ASSR" in the description of the Ket-KAP range, he cited the story of the local Tungus (the even) Dmitry Martynov, who told the scientist that the mountain range was named after one of the eponymous mountain. Martynov said that the word "cat", "kete" is abbreviated Yakut word "Keter", which means "catch", "fall", and the word "cap" means "ship". The mountain is called so because many years ago for its brook trout caught, fell and crashed celestial ship.

The wreckage of his metal plating for a long time willingly collected AIMSCAE Tungus: they are forged from an unusual strong iron knives and palm trees — the kind of knives on a long pole. Carpenter reported that on top of the mountain Ket-KAP, which is located in the upper reaches of the brook Char of cahana, he personally visited in 1932, but to find the wreckage of a crashed ship, geologists had no time. The expedition was very hard, scientists at the deer walked almost 700 miles from the mines Invisible (now Aldan) to the mountain ranges of the Uchur. And the tasks before them were quite different. But in honor of the event geologists call one of the pinnacles of the mountains of the Airplane.

Japanese? Or the Americans?

This story could disappear forever, if after 40 years geologist VSEGEI Alexey Shpagin not reminded of her. The scientist felt that the story requires further investigation and confirmation. His submission of information interested in the well-known Russian ufologist, head of the UFO Commission of the Russian geographical society Michael Gerstein. Unfortunately, after many years difficult to determine the exact time of the incident. Tungus Martynov in 1932 said that the ship crashed "many years ago", likely referring back to pre-revolutionary time. Versions of what happened on the mountain Ket-KAP, there were several.

Local ethnographer, historian Tugolukov, Vladilen suggested that the language in the legend may not go on air, and on a regular ship. He felt that in the mountains of Ket-Capa, the Cossacks would break the river the ship — Koch, who was dragged out of the river Mai in the river Uchur or in Aim, and so it is left half way. However, this version does not explain the presence of the Tungus and Yakuts of light durable knives made of an unknown metal. If the Cossacks and would in the forest river ship, most likely, would be removed from it everything that was a value. And iron on the Aldan highly appreciated.

It could be a dirigible for the study of Russian territories could start with a Japanese military vessel and which is brought inland from the coast of the Okhotsk sea, where he crashed into the rocks. Indeed, the airships in Japan in the early twentieth century were — they were produced created in 1894, the firm of Isaburo of Amado. This firm now produces balloons and balloons.

There was a theory that the airship could belong to the Americans, who in the early twentieth century had a major types of the far East: they were interested in furs and gold. It is possible that such an airship could actually be sent if not in search of gold, then, for example, as a rescue expedition to distress in the taiga geologists. Incidentally, it was this turn of events described in the novel of Alexey Tolstoy "the Hyperboloid of engineer Garin" in which wealthy engineer Garin from America sends for his teacher — a geologist by Maltsevym, which opened in Kamchatka Golden olivine zone, and rescue the airship. However, the accident of the airship could not explain the Tunguska hunter unusual knife.

Couldn't explain it and the version that in the mountains of Aldan in the early twentieth century, the plane crashed. First, the aircraft in these parts appeared just before the war, and secondly, none of the pilots of the old-timers interviewed by enthusiasts, such a case could not remember. And thirdly, the skin of the aircraft in those years, often made of wood and fabric than iron. And the iron in this case it would be the most common. No wonder the pilot Oleynikov consulted with Tupolev: the iron was the designers of aircraft unfamiliar! So maybe Yakut taiga had a visitor from distant worlds — alien ship?

UFO over Siberia

UFO Gerstein've been digging through newspaper archives and found a lot of evidence that in the past and in the nineteenth century the far East did visit the different aircraft. For example, in 1913 the Governor of Kamchatka has received a report from residents Giigi (now Magadan oblast), who wrote that the Koryaks of the camps Opika and Hatta at the end of January on Pampeliska Dale day, in clear weather, is seen flying to the East of the airship with 12 passengers. In the same year of Okhotsk reported that on 19 January at five o'clock above the horizon saw three moving dots. One of them broke off and hovered over the city, and looked like a "plane of unknown design," and then flew away toward the mountains.

Interesting post Gerstein found in the newspaper "the Transbaikalian regional statements" for the year 1897. The inhabitants of a distant village Kyakhta reported that they saw a strange flying machine, which is not like a meteor. The device was wings, the body was the size of "a hut", and the speed was great. And the witnesses — the father and the son Igumnova — saw the "extending wings" and coinciding with this change the speed of the aircraft. Moreover, the witness described that the wings were rounded, integral and certain parts located below the other. The sky was absolutely clear, an unidentified object witnesses saw about a quarter of an hour. It flew from North to South and disappeared in the sky over the village Kudarinskaya.

Who will solve the mystery Cat-Capa

Of course, the origin of light and durable knives in Yakut hunters and the evens have tried to explain the fall of the meteorite, and even assumption about the crash of the alien spacecraft. Paradoxically, but these two versions of the most plausible explain where the hunters of extraterrestrial metal. But, to confirm or refute a particular version, you need a long and expensive expedition in the area of the mountains of Ket-KAP, which is literally in the middle of nowhere on the border of Yakutia and Khabarovsk territory, and from which to the nearest town — Aldan — 400 kilometers, and to Yakutsk — 500 kilometers. Willing to come all the way little. Difficult getting, taiga, mountains, wild animals and hordes of mosquitoes — that's what awaits those wishing to unravel the mystery of the distant Yakut mountains.

The first mention of a huge copper kettle, "sunk in the ground" in the upper reaches of the river, belongs to the second half of the XIX century. From 1853 to 1855, the expedition of the Siberian Department of Russian geographical society under the leadership of geographer, naturalist and ethnographer Richard Karlovich Maak conducted research in the basins of the rivers Vilyui, Olekma, and Chona. Maak studied topography, Geology, and acquainted with the people of this region.

The story of the boiler is represented as a local tale in his book "Vilyui district of the Yakut region".

They say that one of these strange objects have been found, and "buried" in the middle of the twentieth century during the construction of the dam at the Vilyui hydroelectric power station.

Mention if there are any stories of local hunters:

As a hunter, wandering in the dry period in the forest, tried to get ice from bulgunnyakh — ice lens, top is usually covered with soil. Starting to dig under the thin layer of soil found no ice, and reddish metal surface is very large, of the permafrost of the dome. He was not himself, and he hurried off.

Another similar case: it was found whether edge or a ledge ten centimeters in thickness; this time the hunter just did not continue digging, he needed ice. Bulgunnyakh, he said, was a meter tall and about 5-6 m in diameter.

Near the river Olguydah seen plunged into the ground with a smooth metal hemisphere reddish color and with such a smooth edge that "cuts a nail." The thickness of its walls is about 2 see it Akranes, so that it can enter riding on reindeer. It was discovered in 1936 a geologist, but in the postwar period traces were lost. In 1979 she tried to find a small archaeological expedition from Yakutsk. Explorer — old hunter, in his youth repeatedly seen the structure is not able to remember anything, because, according to him, the area has changed dramatically. So they are left with nothing.

From the story of the employee Udachninskiy GOK Alexander Pavlovtsev:

I'm an atheist and always have been. In UFOs do not believe it. But when saw — I was stunned! We fished on Alguide — I, son Sasha and Vasily Ivanovich is my friend and old hunter. Stopped for the night near death Valley. And suddenly on the opposite Bank of the river saw the explosion of a yellow-orange globe, 200 mm in diameter! And from him, as from lamps, strip light 30 meters in length. In a few minutes — the second the ball exploded, the third...

We began to quietly move away to the river and quickly jumped in the boat. Don't have time to go through the river 400 metres and in the blink of an eye, like magic, over the taiga rose the huge dome with a height of 150-200 meters, with a diameter of one kilometer and a half. It was palpable: no fog, and material substance, because the shade was a steel silver. And inside the dome — a lot of moving luminous balls.
