May 15, 1987 at about 14:08 crashed military helicopter MI-8 crew E.N. Taropolko and A.N. Arseniev and A.P. Klimenkov.
May 15, 1987 at 16:04 in the direction of the alleged accident, 2 Mi-17 helicopters were sent, but deteriorated weather conditions prevented a full-scale search.
On May 17, 1987 at 18:12 the Mi-17 pilot reported that he sees a column of smoke just south of the alleged site of the MI-8 accident, later the pilot said he would monitor the pilots of the helicopter that crashed.
From the report pilot, who picked up E.N. Taropolko and A.N. Arsenyev follows that both pilots were in an inadequate condition, they could not indicate the place where the helicopter crashed, and nothing could be ascertained about the fate of the third pilot.
From the story of E.N. Toropolko and A.N. Arsenyev followed that the helicopter hit a fog and a sudden wind of hurricane force, which was blowing inside the Zone. After less than a minute they saw the outlines of the missing objects PO Box 59. I could not contact the command because of strong radio interference. It was decided to make a flight at an altitude of 100 meters in order to determine the situation.
It was impossible to pass through the Zone. As they approached the center, the onboard systems began to fail, the crew's physical and mental condition deteriorated sharply. At the bottom there was a continuous fog with lightning strikes in different directions, spots of bright red and greenish glow. The last thing that clearly could remember AN. Arsenye is a building with antennas on the roof. After that, everyone felt very dizzy. The engines had lost more than a fifth of the power by that time, turbulence was growing. The crew sent the helicopter to the border of the misty dome.
When approaching, the oncoming wind increased to a hurricane, turbulence exceeded all reasonable limits. The helicopter began to lose altitude. E.N. Toropolko and A.N. Arseniev lost consciousness.
Two hours later (the time was determined by AN Arseniev based on the testimony of his wristwatches), both pilots came to their senses. There are no traces of the helicopter accident, just like A.P. Klimenkov they could not find. Realizing that they will be looking for a fire.
From the medical examination.
Both patients have histological changes similar to pathologies that occur with caisson disease. There is also a rash all over the body and swelling of the extremities. Patients complain of sleep disturbances, attacks of severe dizziness, joint and back pain. Also, patients have a disruption in the activity of the vestibular apparatus. "
May 18, 1987. The materials of the case fall into the hands of Colonel FSB Nikodimov AD, who identifies the drawings attached to the conclusion of the Commission of Inquiry. Arseniev's building of the research institute "Gran".
May 24, 1987, an attempt was made to locate the PO Box 59, but in 6 km from the prospective location of the Oktyabrsky settlement, communication began to disappear. The pilots reported a malfunction of the navigation systems.
On June 13, 1987, an attempt was made to ground detection, but it was also unsuccessful due to sharply worsening weather conditions. The area was wrapped up in a thick layer of fog, which prevented the group from moving despite the presence of fog lamps.
On July 20, 1987, a second attempt was made. This time the strong electromagnetic is fixed already at a distance of 15 km from the village. The fog is still dense, it is not scattered by the wind or the sun's rays. Any attempts to approach the location of the former settlement of October, lead to a deterioration in the well-being of the members of the expedition. People experience joint pain, nausea and loss of coordination.
From the report of the expedition it follows that at some point everyone was seized with an unreasonable panic fear. The group often wandered and at the end came to the place where the pilots of the missing MI-8 were found.
