Unsolved secrets and mysteries of our world and all humanity. Great world mysteries
Sculpture of Kryptos
It is located in Langley, Virginia. IN this moment The sculpture adorns the central office of the CIA. Its peculiarity is that no one can decipher the message written on the sculpture itself, and yet twenty years have passed since the sculpture was installed. The world's best specialists, knowledgeable in symbols and hieroglyphs, are working on deciphering it. And in all this time they only deciphered three sections. But in total number there are a hundred of them.
Phaistos disc
It was found by scientists and is somewhat reminiscent of a fascinating story about the adventures of Indiana Jones. The disk was discovered in Phaistos (where its name comes from) in the ruins of a Minoan palace. The disk is believed to depict an unknown form of hieroglyphs dating back to the second millennium BC. The disc is made of baked clay and the symbols are reminiscent of hieroglyphs that were used in ancient Crete.
The riddle of a simple shepherd
In England, in the county of Staffordshire, there is the most common monument to a shepherd dating back to the eighteenth century. But the inscription on it is not so common, at least for scientists who cannot decipher it. It looks like this: DOUOSVAVVM. For two hundred and fifty years now, this symbol has been an incomprehensible mystery, as well as its author. Scholars believe the symbol may be a clue to the location of the Holy Grail, and that it was made especially for the Knights Templar. Be that as it may, even Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens could not comprehend the secrets of this symbol.
Mysterious death and the Taman Shud case
This misterious story occurred in Australia, where the body of an unknown person was actually found. It happened in nineteen forty-eight in Adelaide. A key was found in the victim’s pocket, and with it a note with the words “Taman Shud.” As it turned out later, these are the last lines of “Rubaiyat” by Omar Khayyam. Shortly after this, scientists found a copy of his collection, which contained a mysterious code. It is believed that this was someone’s message, but no one was able to decipher it, nor could they unravel the circumstances of the mysterious death.
"Big Ear"
On August 15, 1977, Dr. Jerry Eyman recorded the "WOW" signal. The signal was captured in Ohio by a radio telescope called Big Ear. Jerry worked on a program to search for extraterrestrial civilizations. The interesting thing is that it was not possible to unravel the signal.
What do you know about the Zodiac?
It turns out that this is a serial killer from San Francisco, who was considered one of the most dangerous at that time. His letters were found. There are four of them in total. One of them was deciphered, but the other three do not have a clear decoding, and to this day, scientists are puzzling over this riddle. It is also interesting that Zodiac could not be found, and his identity was not established.
Monument to an unknown author in the USA, Georgia, Elbert city
This is a granite monument with inscriptions on it different languages world, there are only eight of them. On its top there are inscriptions in four ancient languages: Ancient Egyptian, Sanskrit, Akkadian and Greek. There are no encryptions, unknown hieroglyphs or other symbols on it, but the identity of the author who built this monument is still unknown. However, the origin and purpose of the monument also remain a mystery.
Go ahead and search for treasure!
Three encrypted Bale cryptograms are found. It is believed that they contain information about the treasure, or more precisely about its location. One day, a company of gold miners led by Thomas Bale left this cryptogram. The treasure that is hidden must contain gold, silver and various other valuables. The total value of the entire treasure is approximately thirty million dollars. There is an incentive to solve the encrypted code.
Do you know what secrets trouble the minds of millions of people around the world? Today you will learn about the most famous unsolved mysteries ah peace. 
No. 10. Rongo-rongo
Rongo-rongo is a system of mysterious records that were discovered on Easter Island in the 19th century. Rongorongo is believed to represent a lost writing system or proto-writing.
The first mention of Rongorongo was found in a letter from monk Eugene Eyraud, who arrived on Easter Island on January 2, 1864. Numerous attempts to decipher Rongorongo have been unsuccessful. Perhaps their decoding would provide an answer to the main mystery The islands are the destination of the giant Easter Island statues.
Several dozen wooden objects with Rongo-rongo inscriptions were found on Easter Island. Now they are exhibited in museums around the world, some of them are in private collections.
No. 9. Georgia Tablets
The Georgia Tablets are a granite monument that is sometimes called the “American Stonehenge” (which leads to confusion with the Indian construction of the same name).
The height of the monument is more than 6 meters, it consists of six granite slabs total mass about 100 tons. One slab is located in the center, four around it. The final slab sits on top of these five slabs, aligned according to astronomical events.
Erected in Elbert County, Georgia in 1979. The stones are engraved with inscriptions in 8 languages: English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese and Russian. Each inscription contains one of the 10 "new" commandments of the "Age of Reason".
1. Let the earth's population never exceed 500 million, being in constant balance with nature.
2. Regulate fertility wisely, enhancing the value of life preparation and the diversity of humanity.
3. Find a new living language that can unite humanity.
4. Show tolerance in matters of feelings, faith, traditions and the like.
5. Let fair laws and an impartial court stand up for the protection of peoples and nations.
6. Let each nation decide its own internal affairs, bringing only national problems to the world court.
7. Avoid petty things litigation and useless officials.
8. Maintain a balance between personal rights and public responsibilities.
9. Above all, value truth, beauty, love, striving for harmony with infinity.
10. Don’t be a cancer for the earth, leave room for nature too!
Although the monument itself does not contain encrypted messages, its purpose and origin are shrouded in mystery. The monument was erected by a man who is known only under the pseudonym “R.K. Christian.”
Among the 10 commandments there are some very controversial ones. For example: “Maintain a human population of 500,000,000 in constant balance with nature.” Some conspiracy theorists even believe that the commandments were developed by someone secret society to create a new world order.
No. 8. Letters of the Zodiac
Zodiac is a serial killer active in Northern California and San Francisco (USA) in the late 1960s. The identity of the perpetrator has not yet been established.
Zodiac was the alias the killer used. He sent sarcastic and impudent letters to the editors of local newspapers. In letters, he sent cryptograms in which he allegedly encrypted information about himself. Three of the four cryptograms still remain undeciphered.
Zodiac committed the murders between December 1968 and October 1969. According to Zodiac's own statements, the number of his victims reaches 37, but investigators are only sure of seven cases.
During the investigation, many suspects were named, but no convincing evidence was provided to link any of them to the murders. The California Department of Justice has kept the Zodiac case open since 1969 to this day.
No. 7. Signal "Wow!"
Signal "Wow!" ("Whoa!" signal) was recorded by Dr. Jerry Eyman on August 15, 1977. At the time, the doctor was working on the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University. When Eyman heard the signal, he was so amazed that he wrote “Wow!” on the side of the fixed symbols. (“Wow!”). This signature gave the signal its name. All characteristics of the received signal corresponded to the parameters of extraterrestrial signals. The radio signal observation time was 72 seconds.
Astronomers from the United States suggest that a possible source of the signal could be hydrogen around the nuclei of comets discovered after 2005 and not taken into account as possible sources of the signal in earlier works.
No. 6. Taman Shud case
The Taman Shud case is a criminal case initiated following the discovery of the body of an unknown man on December 1, 1948 on Somerton Beach in the Australian city of Adelaide. The incident also became known as the “case of mysterious man from Somerton."
The case is considered one of the most mysterious mysteries in Australian history. There are many versions about the identity of the deceased and the causes of his death.
Public interest in this incident remains very significant for a number of reasons: for example, during the investigation, some facts emerged indicating the possible involvement of special services in the incident. In addition, for more than half a century, the investigation was unable to either establish the identity of the deceased or accurately determine the method of his death. The biggest resonance was caused by a piece of paper discovered with the deceased, torn from a copy of a very rare edition of Omar Khayyam, on which only two words were written - Tamam Shud (“Tamam Shud”).
After a thorough search, the police managed to find one of the copies of the book with Khayyam’s poems and with the last page torn out. On the back of the book, several words were written in pencil that looked like a code.
No. 5. Monument in Shugborough
At Shugborough in Staffordshire, on the grounds of an old manor house that once belonged to the Earl of Lichfield, there is a memorial monument from the mid-18th century. The bas-relief depicts a copy of the 2nd version of Poussin’s painting “The Arcadian Shepherds” in mirror reflection and with the classic inscription “ET IN ARCADIA EGO” in the correct reflection. Below the bas-relief are carved the letters O U O S V A V V - framed by two more letters D and M. DM may mean Diis Manibus, but the central abbreviation remains unclear. The set of letters is a kind of code, the deciphering of which has been going on for more than 250 years.
Some enthusiasts, including some of the world's greatest minds (Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin), suggested that the code could be the key to the information left by the Templars about the location of the Holy Grail.
No. 4. Phaistos Disc
The Phaistos Disc is a unique monument of writing, presumably of the Minoan culture of the Middle or Late Bronze Age, found in the city of Phaistos on the island of Crete. Its exact purpose, as well as the place and time of manufacture are not known with certainty.
Many works have been devoted to the study of the Phaistos Disc, and the latter have repeatedly made statements about the decipherment of the inscription on its surface. However, none of the proposed readings has become generally accepted in scientific community.
Work on the study of the Phaistos Disc is progressing slowly, which is primarily due to the brevity of the message and the isolation of the writing system used in it. According to most experts, to successfully decipher the Phaistos Disc it is necessary to find other monuments of the same writing. There are a number of hypotheses about the non-linguistic nature of the images of the Phaistos Disc.
Currently, the Phaistos Disc is on display in the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion (Crete, Greece). Today, the disc remains one of the most famous puzzles in archaeology.
No. 3. Bale cryptograms
Bale's cryptograms are three encrypted texts supposedly containing information about the location of the treasure: thousands of pounds of gold, silver and precious stones. The treasure was allegedly buried in Virginia near Lynchburg by a party of gold prospectors led by Thomas Jefferson Bale in 1818.
It is known that the first information about the “Bale Treasure” appeared in 1865 along with the publication of a pamphlet by an unknown author, the full title of which read as follows: “The Bale Papers or Book Containing the True Facts Concerning the Treasure Buried in the Years 1819 and 1821 near Bufords, Bedford County, Virginia, and has not been found to date." The publisher was James Beverly Ward, who provided the manuscript to the Library of Congress, where it remains to this day.
The author chose to remain anonymous, explaining this with a desire to protect himself from the persistent attention of the press and potential treasure hunters. The brochure was published by Virginian Book in Lynchburg, Virginia, and was priced at 50 cents.
The author of the brochure managed to decipher cryptograms 1 and 2. Cryptogram No. 1 described the exact location of the cache, and cryptogram No. 2 was a listing of its contents.
The third cryptogram, which supposedly contained the addresses and names of potential heirs, has still not been read. The mystery of the cryptograms has not yet been solved; in particular, the question of the real existence of the treasure remains controversial.
No. 2. Kryptos
Kryptos is a sculpture with encrypted inscriptions created by artist Jim Sanborn. The sculpture is installed in front of the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
November 3, 1990 is the date of installation of the sculpture. From this moment on, attempts to decipher the mysterious message have not stopped. The contents of three of the four tables have already been revealed, but the remaining last table, containing 96 characters, remains an unsolved world mystery...
No. 1. Voynich book
The Voynich Manuscript, or Voynich Manuscript, is an illustrated codex written in the 15th century by an unknown author in an unknown language using an unknown alphabet. The pages of the manuscript contain many colorful drawings of strange diagrams, descriptions of events, drawings of plants that do not correspond to any of the known species.
Based on the results of radiocarbon dating of four fragments of the manuscript, University of Arizona chemist and archaeometrist Greg Hodgins determined that the parchment for the manuscript was made between 1404 and 1438 during the early Renaissance.
The manuscript was intensively studied by cryptography enthusiasts and cryptanalysis professionals. Neither the entire manuscript nor even part of it could be deciphered. A series of failures turned the manuscript into a famous piece of cryptology.
In the world today there are many theories about the nature of the origin of the manuscript. Some believe that this is a pharmacology textbook. Other researchers believe that the plant drawings indicate an alchemy textbook. The fact that many of the diagrams have astronomical content, coupled with unidentifiable drawings biological forms life, push to the idea of the alien origin of the unusual manuscript. None of the assumptions has received unambiguous confirmation or recognition in the scientific community.
The book bears the name of the antiquarian Wilfried Voynich, who acquired it in 1912. In 1959, second-hand bookseller Hans Kraus bought the manuscript from heiress Ethel Voynich for $24,500 and donated it to the library in 1969 rare books Beinecke University of Yale.
P.S. One of the most famous mysterious incidents that happened on the territory of Russia is the mystery of the fall of the Tunguska meteorite in 1908. Several Italian scientists have hypothesized that the crater of the Tunguska meteorite may be Lake Cheko on the Kimchu River, which is located 8 km northwest of the epicenter of the explosion.
Human civilization has existed on Earth for a very long time, and the Earth has existed for millions of years. So it is not surprising that there are secrets left by ancient civilizations that modern man unable to understand or explain.
Here are 12 mysterious and strange discoveries made in the field of archaeology. Science still cannot fully explain them.
1) Anomaly in the Baltic Sea: A crew of Swedish divers discovered a large, disc-shaped object at the bottom Baltic Sea. No one is sure of the origin of this object.
2) Baghdad Batteries: These terracotta pots were created in Mesopotamia and are regarded as ancient voltaic cells, created 2000 years before the birth of their inventor Alessandro Volta.
3) Crystal Skulls: These are artifacts of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica (Aztec or Mayan civilization) created from clear or white quartz.
4) Ancients aircrafts: These are small models of flying airplanes. However, man first took to the air only in 1780, and even then hot-air balloon. So how did ancient civilizations learn enough about flight to make models and sketches of flying machines?
5) Co-existing Dinosaur-Human Footprints: While many of the fossils have been proven to be fakes, there are some examples of human-dinosaur fossil footprints in ancient rock formations that remain a mystery. If they are indeed real, it would violate the theory of evolution.
6) Radioactive remains found in ancient cities: In the ruins of the ancient cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro, the level of radiation is so high that it is believed that the population of these cities was killed by an atomic bomb around 1500 BC
7) Stonework of the Puma Punku complex: In Bolivia there is a large megalithic complex built from huge stone blocks connected together like Legos.
8) Voynich Manuscript: This has been proven to be an authentic copy of the manuscript from the Middle Ages, but no one has yet been able to decipher it. This is the most famous case in the history of cryptography.
9) Antikythera Mechanism: This is a mechanism from the Hellenistic period, it is the ancient equivalent of the modern computer that was developed to predict astronomical events and eclipses. The most big mystery The fact is that nothing like this has been created in two thousand years. What happened to technology?
10) Residues of cocaine and tobacco on the mummies: Residues from these drugs were found on Egyptian mummies. How they obtained the drugs remains a mystery.
11) Pipes in Mount Baigong: These pipes are evidence of the presence of plumbing services in Ancient China. Many people believe that these technological advances are traces of an extraterrestrial civilization visiting our planet.
12) Stone Spheres in Costa Rica: Their diameter reaches 2 meters and their weight is 16 tons. There are many myths surrounding these stones. Some claim that they came from Atlantis itself.
The most unpleasant thing is that no matter how much scientific research done, we will never solve these mysteries.
Incredible facts
These mysteries still raise questions among scientists and researchers.
1. Holes in the ground in Yamal in Siberia
In July 2015, a 100-meter sinkhole appeared on the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia. Although a team of researchers was sent there in November 2015, the cause remained unknown. Since then, two more craters have opened in the Tazovsky region and on the Taimyr Peninsula.
There is an assumption that the formation of holes in the ground is associated with a gas explosion or an eruption from within the permafrost.
2. Walrus at St Pancras Burying Ground
The walrus at St Pancras was discovered by archaeologists in old church St Pancras in 2003. The site was used for mass burial due to a series of epidemics in the early 19th century.

Scientists have never been able to find an explanation for how the walrus' remains got there.
3. D.B. Cooper
In 1971, a man known only by his first name, D.B. Cooper boarded the Boeing 727-100 at International airport Portland. The flight, which took place on Thanksgiving Day, was headed to Seattle. During the flight, Cooper passed a note to the flight attendant and said he had a bomb, demanding $200,000 and four parachutes.
The flight was delayed two hours to give the FBI time to collect the ransom and parachutes.
The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, and once all of Cooper's demands were met, the passengers were released, except for one flight attendant. Cooper ordered the pilots to take off again and head towards Mexico City. On the way, he jumped out and disappeared.
4. Max Headroom Invasion
During the broadcast of an episode of the television series Doctor Who, the signal from the television station was interrupted and a man wearing a Max Headroom mask appeared on the screen, making inarticulate sounds.

He was known to call victims beforehand, and sometimes afterwards, to abuse them.
The perpetrator of these crimes is believed to still be alive, and the FBI recently launched a campaign in hopes of finding the man who managed to evade justice for so long.
9. Rumble
We truly appreciate silence when it disappears, especially if it concerns some incomprehensible sounds.
A hum is a constant, low-frequency noise that people have heard in different parts light from the UK to New Zealand. However, the source of the sound cannot be explained.

Twins June and Jennifer Gibbons were born in Wales in the 60s and did not interact with other people, speaking only to each other and sometimes in a way that was incomprehensible to everyone else.
The story got even stranger when the twins grew up and ended up in mental asylum. They had an agreement that if one of them died, the other should start talking to other people. Jennifer died suddenly a short time later from acute myocarditis, but doctors could find no evidence of poison or drugs in her system, and her death remains a mystery.
After June's death, as agreed, she began to communicate with others.
14. Tunguska meteorite
On June 30, 1908, a major explosion occurred in the Podkamennaya Tunguska region. The nearest city was 60 km away, but still felt the effects. The explosion produced 85 times more energy than atomic bomb, dropped on Hiroshima, and leveled about 80 million trees.
Although the destruction is believed to have been the result of a meteorite, no impact crater was found, prompting many hypotheses.
15. Cicada 3301
Every year since 2012, a secret organization has baffled the Internet by anonymously publishing difficult puzzles online. Whether this is some kind of tactic of intelligence services or hackers, or the tricks of some kind of cult, is still not known.

18. Taman Shud case
The Taman Shud case involves the discovery dead man on the coast of Australia. He did not have a passport and his identity could not be established. An autopsy showed that he was poisoned, but there were no traces of poison.
The case became even more confusing when an expert examined the man's body 4 months after his death. In his pocket he found a small piece of paper with the inscription "Taman Shud".
These were last words in the collection of poems "Rubaiyat" by Omar Khayyam, which translates as "completed". A piece of paper was torn from a book that was in a car near the beach. The book contained the nurse's phone numbers and a coded message that the police were unable to decipher.
The nurse reported that she gave the book to a man named Albert Boxall. However, after some time, Boxall appeared alive, and he had the same book with the last words.
19. Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
One of the unsolved mysteries remains Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8, 2014. On board international flight from Malaysia to Beijing there were 277 passengers and 12 crew members. The last contact with ground services took place less than an hour after takeoff, and the plane itself disappeared from radar screens a few minutes later.
Military radar tracked the plane for an hour after the incident, watching it veer off course until it disappeared into the Andaman Sea.
There were no distress signals, warnings about bad weather conditions, or messages about technical problems. It is believed that the plane crashed in Indian Ocean, but the wreckage was never found. Theories regarding the disappearance range from black holes to alien abduction.
20. Serial Killer Zodiac
The Zodiac is one of the most famous unsolved murders in history. In 1969, he killed at least five people in San Francisco.
Zodiac himself sent coded letters to newspapers and confessed to several murders, but he was never found. Several suspects have been interviewed, but the crime remains unsolved.
We live in an era when everything that seems strange at first glance can be easily explained. Many diseases have become curable, history in general has already been studied, and technological progress is growing rapidly. But there are still some quirky moments that are still worth thinking about.
But still, there are many secrets and riddles that humans cannot solve. Many books have been written about these phenomena, there are fierce debates between scientists and research, but the truth still lurks somewhere in the shadows. And their explanation can be seriously scary!
In this collection you will learn about the 25 greatest unsolved mysteries that have haunted humanity throughout its history.
Taos noise
IN small town Taos, New Mexico, there is a certain hum often heard on the horizon that can be compared to the sound of a distant diesel engine. Although it can be heard by the human ear, various audio detection devices are unable to recognize it. This is known from research into the Taos Noise, and to this day no one still knows how this sound is created.
Voynich manuscript
The Voynich manuscript was written in a language that researchers spent centuries trying to decipher, but in vain. The only thing that can be recognized are the drawings found on some of the pages.
Jack the Ripper
The name Jack the Ripper has been mentioned in many shows and films related to serial killer, who killed 11 women in the East End of London in the late 1800s but was never found. Most of his victims were prostitutes, whose bodies were mutilated beyond recognition and their throats were cut. Until now, absolutely nothing is known about this man; he seemed to dissolve and disappear as unexpectedly as he appeared. Nevertheless, his story excites the minds of mankind to this day.
Bermuda Triangle
Known as the Bermuda Triangle, this legendary expanse of ocean can be found between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Pilots often talk about their instruments failing and the numerous ships that have been lost at sea. With explanations and clues to the Bermuda Triangle mysteries ranging from gas bubbles to aliens, no one is sure what is really behind such strange phenomena.
Kryptos
Not far from the CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, you can contemplate a statue that has encoded encryption on its surface. This charming sculpture was created by Jim Sanborn to show that everything can be solved and deciphered using ciphers. Of the four parts of the inscription on the sculpture, only the first three have been deciphered. But even the brilliant minds at the CIA couldn't get to the bottom of the fourth installment.
Monument to the Shepherd
In Staffordshire, England, there is a sculpture that has amazed the wit and intelligence of many intellectuals in an attempt to decipher the inscription on the Shepherd Monument - DOUOSVAVVM. Although the Monument was built in the 18th century, the inscriptions found here have never been deciphered, even 250 years after it was completed.
Tamam Shud
In December 1948, an unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach, located in Adelaide, Australia. In one of his pockets they found a piece of paper with the words “Tamam Shud”. The words have been translated as "finished" or "finished" based on excerpts found in the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. Although governments around the world attempted to identify the man, his identity remained a mystery.
Letters of the Zodiac
During the 1960s and 1970s, the San Francisco Bay Area was haunted by a criminal who was identified as the Zodiac Killer because of the stunning letters he sent to police and the press. Although one of these four letters was decrypted and contained a very disturbing message, the other three were never decrypted, until now.
Georgia Tablets
Also identified as the American version of Stonehenge, the Georgia Tablets are located in Elbert County. The stone blocks are shrouded in mystery, although they were only installed in 1979. Written on the walls are the 10 “new commandments”, translated into English, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Spanish, although no one is sure why or who they were intended for.
Rongo-Rongo
On the mysterious Easter Island, where the Moai statues stand, a series of glyphs called Rongo-Rongo were discovered. These glyphs have never been deciphered, although they may contain clues regarding the enormous heads found scattered around the island. Be that as it may, these places are shrouded in mystery, which they have been trying to unravel for decades.
Loch Ness monster
For ages, people have heard stories about the Loch Ness Monster that have baffled even advanced scientists. There have been many sightings over the years and photographs and video of the actual footage has been verified and reviewed over and over again. People tried to figure out whether it could be a sea snake, or a descendant of dinosaurs. Even today, some claim that the Loch Ness Monster still exists and swims beneath the waters of Loch Ness.
Yeti
Also known as Big Foot, the yeti, is believed to be a creature that lives in the snowy mountainous regions of the United States and Canada. Mysterious creature can be identified as a gorilla, but its gait is more reminiscent of a human.
Murder of the Black Dahlia
22-year-old Elizabeth Short was very active and successfully moving into show business at the time the Black Dahlia Murder (that was her nickname) occurred. However, no one ever learned anything about the murder and its reasons. There are still many rumors circulating, but the truth has not been revealed.
Stonehenge
While Stonehenge is a very spectacular structure due to the large blocks of stones that stand on top of each other, the most big secret not how the structure was created, but why it was created.
Shroud of Turin
Atlantis
The city of Atlantis was considered the abode and capital of Neptune, where mermaids and mermen lived. Atlantis became known thanks to the records of Plato, who heard a conversation about the mysterious continent during his travels. Now that Atlantis is deep underwater, many still wonder if it really existed, knowing that there are certain objects under the sea that could be the remains of this once beautiful city.
Extraterrestrial intelligence
From the mysteries found on Easter Island, to the Bermuda Triangle, and even the Roswell Incident during World War II, people have always wondered that we are not alone in the universe. Some claim that they were abducted by aliens, while others believe that it is all nonsense. But there is still no consensus on this issue.
Beach of floating feet
It's common for people to rinse their feet in the sea at beaches, but for one beach in British Columbia, the appearance of detached, floating legs in the water has become commonplace. Dismembered legs have washed ashore over the past few years, giving rise to numerous theories, none of which have ever been real.
Wow signal
When Jerry R. Ehman worked on the SETI Project at Perkins Observatory in Ohio, he did not expect to be able to receive radio frequency supposedly coming from outer space. He was able to receive a 72-second signal from the constellation Sagittarius, which was not repeated. To this day, no one is sure of the origin of the signal. The signal got its name "Wow" because that's what Jerry wrote on the edge of the printout.
D.B. Cooper
When the criminal, who called himself D.B. Cooper, who stole a Boeing 727 along with $200,000, jumped out of the plane with a parachute. He was never found and remains the only unsolved case in American history aviation.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
He died an unexplained death, while being absolutely healthy. Many claimed that he died from heart attack, but doctors and other specialists who tested him, including his wife, confirmed that he was fine. His wife also made the claim that he was poisoned while signing the Tashkent Treaty. This was never proven as there was no post-mortem diagnosis.
Nazca geoglyphs
The Nazca civilization created some of the most spectacular geoglyphs on the face of the Earth. They include everything from spiders, monkeys, sharks, killer whales and flowers, the accuracy of which is incredible considering Nazca had no way of examining their work from above.

Orang Medan
What happened to the cargo ship Orang Medan, or “Man of Medan,” in Malaysia is perhaps one of the most fascinating and mind-boggling mysteries to ever exist in maritime history. It all started with an SOS message in 1947, which reported that the captain, along with the rest of the crew, was dead. To make matters worse, even the telegraph operator died while transmitting the message. When Silver Star was able to receive the distress call and went to inspect the ship, they confirmed the deaths of everyone on board. The possibilities of ghosts, dangerous chemicals, and even aliens have arisen, but there is still no conclusion as to what actually happened to the ghost ship.
Ayuda aluminum wedge
In 1974, a group of workers in Romania discovered three different objects in a trench of sand 10 meters deep. Two of them were prehistoric elephant bones that were dated to 2.5 million years ago. The third object, however, was an aluminum wedge that was found along with ancient bones. This discovery stunned most researchers, since aluminum was difficult to create even by 19th century standards. While some consider this evidence of the existence of aliens, others call the aluminum wedge a hoax. Regardless of what it is, there is no definite confirmation yet.
Poltergeist Mackenzie
Greyfriars Cemetery in Edinburgh is famous for the Mackenzie poltergeist, one of the best documented poltergeists in the world. There are excursions here, calling them a tour to world of the dead. People are especially frightened by the atmosphere of the Black Mausoleum, where Sir George Mackenzie lies. Is this all just a show? Perhaps, but there is only one way to find out - to go here yourself and explore everything.
