The night visit of the "orange orange" to the tent of a group of climbers in the mountains of the North Caucasus ended sadly.

It was in the summer of 1978. The master of sports of international class in mountaineering V. Kavunenko woke up and saw that a bright yellow ball the size of a tennis ball was hanging in a multi-bed tent at a height of 1 m from the floor. He flew to the sleeping bag of one climber, penetrated it and immediately heard a wild scream.

"Orange" jumped out, rushed to another sleeper, screams of pain again. Then the "guest" burned through the narrator's sleeping bag – he was pierced by a hellish pain, from which he lost consciousness.

I woke up from the desperate, inhuman screams of my comrades. It seemed that the "visitor" deliberately, viciously, like a sadist, tortured people, burned their bodies. Then he disappeared. The victims, including Karpov, Shichin, Bashkirov, were taken by helicopter to the hospital in serious condition. Oleg Korovin was killed by a balloon.

Eyewitnesses note that after such meetings, people experience paralysis, mental shifts. Therefore, you should be very careful, in no case do not brush off, do not threaten, do not make sudden movements.

Since this phenomenon was introduced into the scientific sphere by the English physician and researcher of electrical engineering William Snow Harris in 1843, and a scientist of the French Academy Francois Arago in 1855, many hypotheses were put forward. Here are selectively some of them:
