The ratios of heavy nuclei from sulfur (Z=16) to chromium (Z=24) fluxes to the flux of iron nuclei were measured recently in the ATIC-2 experiment. These ratios were the decreasing functions of energy from 5 GeV/n to approximately 50 GeV/n as expected. However, an unexpected sharp upturn in the ratios was observed at energy 50 GeV/n. In this paper, we revise the data and show that the statistical confidence of the observed upturn in the ATIC data is 99.7% and some additional argumets supporting the phenomenon are presented. A possible cause of the upturn is discussed and it is demonstrated that it can be partially understood within a model of ‘Closed Galaxy with Bubbles’ (CGB). Some features and problems of the CGB model are discussed.
