The Perm Territory is known not only for its natural resources, but also for being one of the ten anomalous zones of the planet. The dangerous natural phenomena of the Perm region attract scientists and tourists in completely different directions - from those who believe in hobbits to those who study UFO issues on a professional level.
The most surprising thing in this area is that here everyone can collect either stories or facts, or personally verify the veracity of information on a subject of interest to him. Therefore, scientific symposia are held here, and there is no end to tourists.
Prayer Triangle
The village of Molebka of the Kishert district was the first to fall into the category of dangerous natural phenomena in the Perm Territory. This happened in the early 80s of the last century, when for the first time traces of the presence of extraterrestrial civilization objects in this region were found. A certain object left behind a trail with a diameter of 62 meters, which was discovered by Perm geologist Emil Bachurin.
Since UFOs did not exist in the USSR, all of its manifestations were designated as “dangerous natural phenomena of the Perm Territory”. However, this did not stop tourists and ufologists, and they began to massively fill the Perm Territory in search of an extraterrestrial civilization.
Once the Prayer was a place of worship for the Mansi people and was a prayer stone on which sacrifices and rituals were performed. Later there arose a village with the same name, the heyday of which fell during the development of the Demidov foundries.
Prayer of natural hazards (Perm Territory) consisted in the appearance of strange objects of a round, spherical or plate-like shape. They were seen both day and night, which was recorded not only visually, but also with the help of equipment.
Unfortunately, a huge number of people rushing to these lands in search of extraterrestrial intelligence interfered with the serious work of scientists, and the appearance of strange objects gradually came to naught. Today, the M-sky anomalous zone, although it is included in the top 10 “strange” zones of the planet, has ceased to enter the dangerous natural phenomena of the Perm Territory.
Nevertheless, scientists and tourists come to the Molebsky Triangle annually to study biolocation abnormal manifestations in this region, such as strange behavior of compasses and chronometers, changes in pressure and body temperature in people, manifestation of disorientation and severe headaches.
For the village of Molebki, this is a new heyday, because, thanks to tourism, a hotel, shops and even cellular communications have appeared here.
Hyperborean Border
For archaeologists, historians and geologists, the designation "Perm" is associated with the 6th period of the Paleozoic era. It is believed that it was at this time (approximately 285 million years ago) that the Hyperborean (Ural) mountains began to form.
The people living in Hyperborea, that is, in a place located on the other side of the North Wind, were also written by philosophers of Ancient Greece. In their view, they were tall, strong people, and they knew how to fly.
In different countries there are legends about northern people who have wings and move through the air. Whether it is true or not, has not yet been proved, but many researchers are sure that the Northern Uvali are the border of Hyperborea.
Although the Northern Uvaly does not belong to such a category as “dangerous natural phenomena in the Perm Territory, ” nevertheless they are mysterious. Scientists still have not fully figured out how exactly the sub-latitudinal elevation was formed in this region.
Mountain Village
The definition of “dangerous natural phenomena in the Perm Territory” (this photo shows) includes unidentified circles in the fields of wheat and oats. It is not known whether they are actually dangerous or not, but they are definitely strange and inexplicable. So lovers of mysterious phenomena - a direct road to the village of Gorny, where these events occurred.
Just as in similar cases in other countries, the ears of corn in the fields were strangely intertwined, which could not be done by hand or by any technique. No traces of the presence of people or objects were found. What is strange: neither wheat nor oats were affected, but continued to spike in a broken and interlaced form.
Such "dangerous" natural phenomena Perm Territory provides lovers of the unknown in abundance. The same circles appeared near the settlement of Verkhne-Chusovskie Gorodoks, where ears of wheat “curled” into bizarre runic signs and large geometric figures up to 30 m in diameter on a wheat field.
All these phenomena are not only eyewitnesses, but also captured on video and photo equipment. Ufologists, as always, shrug their heads in bewilderment, not having versions of who or what could have done this with ears of corn.
Divya Cave
The category “hazardous natural phenomena of the Perm Territory” includes the famous Divya karst cave, which consists of two tiers of underground passages with a length of 10 km. It can be dangerous for inexperienced cavers, since it has only 60 studied grottoes, the most famous of which are Virgo, Vetlan, and the grotto of the Sun. In the latter is a beautiful lake, which occupies 180 m 2 of the grotto.
Even with a map of the cave, beginners can get lost, as evidenced by numerous "horror stories" and legends. In fact, Divya Cave is open to cavers and anyone who wants to join the beauty of the underground "kingdom."
In the grottoes and lakes of the cave there is something to see - here calcites have such diverse shapes that they give them names. For example, Lace, Pillar, Crystal or Indian grottoes owe their names to bizarre stalagmites.
A distinctive feature of the Divya cave is the formation of a unique cave pearl, which is not characteristic of the Ural caves.
Point and Gut
If you ask yourself what dangerous natural phenomena in the Perm Territory may surprise local residents, the memories of many of them about UFO air combat in 1989 will be perhaps the most vivid.
Eyewitnesses of the events that took place in the port district of Zaostrovka outside the outskirts of Perm saw the most “real” battle between flying “plates”. As a result of this phenomenon, one object was shot down and disappeared in the swamps on the territory of the military base.
What it really was is unknown. Objects in a classic form similar to pairs of stacked plates, numbering 6 pieces, attacked the same object, firing it from the laser. Everything happened before the eyes of numerous witnesses, and whether it was really an air battle of unknown objects, or falsification, is not known for certain.
In the village of Kishert, namely, near Mount Lopata, unidentified objects were repeatedly observed.
The peak of their “arrivals” occurred in the late 80s - early 90s. The last time UFOs were mentioned in this area was in 2003.
Ice cave
Natural hazards of the Perm Territory and their characteristics do not end with UFO arrivals and interweaving of wheat ears. What is created by nature itself is much more interesting and accessible. The famous Kurgun cave is a favorite place for tourists to visit.
- Firstly, it is available to everyone, both cavers and just curious.
- Secondly, its small length - only 5.6 km - makes it safe and easy to learn.
- Thirdly, numerous grottoes and small lakes surrounded by columns of ice are so beautiful that they seem of unearthly origin.
According to legend, it was here that Yermak was once hiding from the royal persecution with his associates, and today the cave is visited annually by thousands of tourists attracted by the beauty of stalactites and stalagmites from ice.
Orda cave
This cave has such an ancient origin that the history of the formation of its walls from gypsum and anhydrite goes back to the time of the Permian period of the formation of the Ural Mountains.
It is located on the outskirts of the village of Orda and is divided into surface and underwater parts. The land occupies only 300 meters of the cave, while the underwater part stretches for 4.6 thousand meters. This is great news for divers. Thrill-seekers travel from all over the country and abroad to plunge into the dark waters of the Orda cave.
Unfortunately, this cave is still little studied, therefore it can be dangerous for inexperienced divers.
