приведу цитату - слова практически те же что и у Нарышкина copilot Jordan was trying to use the radio compass. He picked up a strong, steady beam that did not broadcast any identifying information. Arnett suggested that they follow the beam and then bail out when they hit the “cone of silence” directly over the station broadcasting the beam. As they were currently flying above an undercast with no idea of the terrain below it, Jordan told Arnett he’d rather stay with the plane.
It was later discovered that the Soviets had been sending radio signals over the Arctic to lure U.S. planes into Russian airspace.
