In early September, members of the research team Murom-Cosmopoisk began an experiment to study trees, growing in the anomalous zone near the village of Tarnovo (Ryazan region). Locals call the trees there “drunk”, since they are all tilted north and have a curved form.

The expedition to study the “drunk forest” in the Ryazan region was carried out by the Murom-Cosmopoisk group members at the beginning august. It was found that an unusual forest occupies a significant area – up to 150 meters wide and 500-600 meters in length, and the number trees in this territory can exceed a thousand.

Almost all of them have curved trunks, and this the phenomenon affects trees of different species. In this case, the boundary between abnormal area and ordinary forest is quite clear. Having examined several sawn trees, researchers found that the core of their trunk is noticeably shifted relative to its center. Measurements of the electromagnetic background did not show any deviations from the norm.

According to Dmitry Savva, a member of the Murom-Cosmopoisk group, there are many versions that offer some kind of explanation of this phenomenon. The reason for the curvature of tree trunks can not be seen only in the influence of the area where they grow (for example, in the presence of a geomagnetic anomaly), but also in the trees themselves (it has been suggested that their unusual shape is manifestation of a certain genetic disease).
One of the local residents told the participants that the trees were bent by a hurricane several decades ago, but against this version says the fact that young trees also look curved. Not It is excluded that the anomaly arose as a result of simultaneous exposure to several factors.

Researchers dug up an abnormal site several seedlings and planted them in the Kovarditsky forest near Murom. These young trees are not yet as much curved as large trees, however, near the roots of the deviation of the shape of the trunk from normal already noticeable.
It is important to note that seedlings were selected for the experiment. various tree species – aspen, birch, pine. Watching that how will seedlings planted outside the anomalous zone grow, will allow, if not establish finally the cause of occurrence “drunk” trees, then significantly narrow down the range of possible versions.
