There has been much speculation, but so far no proof, about what caused 30 towns to disappear from the USSR in 1958. All we know is that map-makers quit putting the towns on maps in an area of about 460 square miles. Some people have proposed that a natural disaster, such as a meteor strike could have done it, others say a military experiment went haywire.
