00:00But the house came with a sinister threat, a watcher, who sent the family several menacing letters alluding to imminent danger.
00:08Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most peculiar discoveries and events that still puzzle people to this day.
00:15Fortunately, the rescue UFO crashed over the harsh tiger landscape.
00:21The dropper still hope one day their people will make an earth-proof spacecraft.
00:25Number 50. The Roman Dodecahedrons. Various locations.
00:31Normally, archaeological discoveries help us understand those who came before us.
00:35However, there are some that create more questions than answers.
00:39For centuries, bizarre 12-sided metallic objects have been uncovered throughout Europe.
00:44Roman Dodecahedrons have been found all over Europe, and nobody knows for sure how they were made.
00:50Experts have dated them back to ancient times.
00:53Beyond that, little about them has been confirmed.
00:56With no distinctive markings or signs of use, their purpose and apparent widespread popularity is still debated.
01:02And it's still quite a puzzle and a mystery to historians what function they actually served.
01:08Some have theorized they were used in battle, while others have suggested they were made for regular work, like knitting and farming.
01:14Some even speculate they were another version of the cup-and-ball game.
01:17With the most recent being found in 2023, there's no telling how many more are waiting to be revealed, or when their secrets will finally be unlocked.
01:26They remain a fascinating enigma.
01:29Number 49. The Antikythera Mechanism. Antikythera, Greece.
01:33It may seem that advanced technology is limited to modern times, yet a revelation made in 1901 could disprove that entirely.
01:41This corroded bronze object is a machine that can look into the future.
01:44The Antikythera Mechanism dates back to the Hellenistic period, and has intricate components that suggest it could be the oldest surviving computer in history.
01:54What exactly it computed is still unknown.
01:56Much later, the Antikythera Mechanism, to the amazement of scientists, would be revealed as the world's first computer.
02:06Some have surmised that it was used in astronomical tracking.
02:09Yet there are others who've pointed out its potential utility in counting days between athletic competitions.
02:14Besides its function, many are stumped as to how something so complex was built.
02:19It implies that those living in ancient Greece understood technology far more than we once thought.
02:24Should that be true, it could unravel everything we once understood about mechanics and the past itself.
02:30It's a bit frightening to know that just before the fall of their great civilization, the ancient Greeks had come so close to our own age.
02:40Number 48. Spontaneous human combustion. Various locations.
02:45It's a fate so extreme that it seems it could only occur in movies.
02:49Yet there have been several real, tragic cases of supposed spontaneous human combustion that suggest it may not be so fictitious after all.
02:56All of a sudden...
02:57It's an unexplainable phenomenon where a person catches flame seemingly out of nowhere, only leaving behind partial remains.
03:04Despite hundreds of cases, it's unclear how it occurs, or if it exists at all.
03:10Some believe the fire started internally and were exacerbated by factors like stress and blood alcohol levels,
03:15while others attribute them to paranormal activity.
03:18All the mysteries surrounding Helen Conway's death seem to lead us back to one question.
03:24How did the fire start?
03:26Many scientists disagree entirely and claim they were caused by unidentified outside sources.
03:31Though it seems improbable, the known cases are so bizarre that it can't be ruled out entirely.
03:37This burned from the inside out, and he said, I've never, ever seen anything like this.
03:42Number 47. The Utah Monolith. Utah. The United States of America.
03:46Not every unexplained discovery is ancient in nature.
03:50The heck is that?
03:52This is wild.
03:53There are some that were made more recently, and have created just as many questions as their older counterparts.
03:59In 2020, a prism made entirely of metal was found within a sandstone canyon in Utah.
04:05Despite being nearly 10 feet tall, it had gone unnoticed for four years.
04:09They eventually figure out that it has been there for four to five years.
04:13To this day, no one knows who built it or why.
04:17It was automatically assumed to be an art piece, but no one has ever come forward to claim the work.
04:23Just after it had been revealed, it was removed by an environmentalist group worried about its impact on the area.
04:29They've since gifted it to the Bureau of Land Management, where the mystery may finally be solved.
04:33But the biggest mystery is still unknown.
04:36Who put it up in the first place?
04:39Number 46. The Yonaguni Monument. Okinawa, Japan.
04:43Many have heard tales of cities that sank underwater, such as Atlantis.
04:47Though those are fictional, there's a real deep-sea structure that some believe could prove their existence.
04:53Since its discovery in 1986, the Yonaguni Monument has been the source of heated debate.
04:58The main structure is over 500 feet long, almost the length of two football fields.
05:03With immense rock formations that appear to take on the shape of buildings and stairs, it's easy to see how one could think they're human-made.
05:15Marine geologist Masaki Kimura insists upon this, even stating that he identified specific buildings.
05:21Other experts disagree and instead posit that it had formed naturally and been moved into position by underwater earthquakes.
05:28Though the cards are stacked against Kimura, no hard proof has been presented by either side, meaning there is a chance he could be right.
05:36If these stone structures were, in fact, created by humans, then they would have had to have been carved when the monument was above water.
05:43Number 45. The Nazca Lines. The Nazca Desert, Peru.
05:47They lie neglected for more than a thousand years and aren't rediscovered until the era of the airplane.
05:54There have been several discoveries to reveal the complexities of ancient cultures, but some add to their mystique.
06:01From the ground, the Nazca Lines don't seem like much.
06:04See them from above, however, and you see the intricate linework taking on the shape of everything from plants to mammals.
06:10There are spirals, zigzags. There are drawings of birds, spiders, monkeys, immense in scale.
06:16It's unclear why they were created to be viewed in such a way.
06:20One of the most infamous theories is that they were landing spots for alien spacecraft.
06:24Some even claim they were made by extraterrestrial visitors themselves.
06:28Historians have suggested that they were marked irrigation sites.
06:31Others still have posited that they relate to cosmology, whether it was to observe or recreate constellations.
06:37The ideas are unending, and to this day, none has been confirmed.
06:42The lines and shapes cover an area that stretches for hundreds of square miles.
06:46Number 44. The Isdal Woman. Isdal in Norway.
06:48On a seemingly normal, chilly day in 1970, a family made a discovery that has continued to perplex people for decades.
06:57They'd come across the charred remains of a woman.
06:59Any identifying features had been burned away, and the possessions she had left behind left no clues.
07:05The mystery of the Isdal Woman doesn't end with her body being found.
07:14Days later, they came across her luggage.
07:16Among the items was currency from various countries, and eight passports with fake names.
07:21These findings have led to a prevailing theory that she was a spy whose work may have gone awry.
07:26More details have been uncovered in recent years, but none that have confirmed who she was or why she suffered such a tragic fate.
07:3346 years later, the Isdal Woman is still a good one.
07:38Number 43. The Death of Elisa Lam. California. The United States of America.
07:44When she traveled to California in 2013, no one could have suspected that she would never return.
07:49In February of that year, Elisa Lam's body was found in a water tank at the hotel she'd been staying at.
07:55This alone created questions, including how she accessed the tanks.
07:59A video published days later ignited new interest.
08:0230 seconds later, the door closes, and she's never seen again.
08:06It showed Lam standing in the elevator and appearing to look for someone or something in the hallway outside, even stepping outside to do so.
08:14Do you believe she's interacting with another person?
08:17I don't know.
08:18Several theories were brought to light, from her being pursued to her suffering an episode of psychosis.
08:23The clip, being edited prior to release, only added to the speculation.
08:27Both it and whether her death was self-inflicted or not are still discussed today.
08:31It says, if guests stay, quote, you do so at your own risk and peril.
08:37Number 42. The MV Hoyita. The South Pacific Ocean.
08:40There have been many mysterious shipwrecks throughout history.
08:44Few are as peculiar as the fate of the MV Hoyita.
08:47It was relined with cork in 1948, leaving it unsinkable.
08:51In 1955, it set sail on its final voyage.
08:55A doctor, a pharmacist, and a new district officer were among those making the two-day voyage to the Tokilaos.
09:03What was supposed to be a short trip ended with the ship and everyone aboard going missing.
09:07Five weeks later, it was found drifting 600 miles from its route.
09:11No one was aboard, but everything had been removed, suggesting they had departed despite the hull being intact.
09:17Historians still don't understand why.
09:20Their theories range from mutiny to insurance fraud, but none has been proven.
09:25As of 2012, they're still considered missing, and both they and their reasons seem to have been lost to the depths for good.
09:32The ghost ship Joyita, her disappearance, and subsequent events continue to disturb and baffle.
09:40Number 41. The Lost Colony of Greenland.
09:42Greenland. History has proven that few things are truly constant, even communities that appear to be thriving.
09:49After establishing themselves in Greenland in 986, the arriving Norse citizens formed a successful colony that remained intact for half a millennia.
09:58About a thousand years ago, the Vikings, Norsemen from Scandinavia, established a colony in Greenland.
10:04It was then that those living in the area seemingly vanished, leaving those who discovered it afterwards to speculate they had been slain by a conqueror.
10:11Centuries later, little is still understood about their sudden disappearance from the area.
10:16The colony in Greenland disappears from history in about the year 1500.
10:20Nobody knows exactly why or exactly when this happened.
10:23It's one of the great unsolved mysteries of the Middle Ages.
10:26Various theories have been presented, ranging from strife with the indigenous population to natural factors like the Little Ice Age and the Black Plague forcing them to leave for their own safety.
10:35Nothing has been confirmed as the ultimate cause, leaving their fate a question that remains unsolved.
10:41What happened to the last ones? And the clear answer to this question is we don't know.
10:46Number 40. The Watcher of Westfield, New Jersey.
10:50New Jersey, the United States of America.
10:52A suburban neighborhood is the last place you might expect a mystery.
10:56Yet in 2014, the Broaddus family was subjected to unwanted attention from an anonymous person simply known as the Watcher of Westfield, New Jersey.
11:04They received several letters once they bought it, warning them that their family had been watching the house for generations and mentioning details about the buyer's children.
11:12Whoever it was claimed that they were not only watching the house, but there was a lineage in their family.
11:19The messages became more unhinged, leaving the Broadduses too terrified to complete their move there.
11:24There was really no way the Broadduses were going to move into this house without figuring out what was going on.
11:30It eventually became so threatening that they resold the house without ever having lived a day inside of it.
11:35To this day, the Watcher has never been identified despite an investigation being conducted.
11:40But the people who moved in afterwards have seemingly escaped the same fate.
11:44Now, five years later, the family's selling the property that they've never lived in, that has haunted them for years, taking a loss, selling it for $400,000 less than they paid for it.
11:54Number 39. The Disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa
11:57Michigan, the United States of America
11:59Throughout the mid-20th century, he rose through the ranks of the Teamsters Union and became one of its most influential figures.
12:06That power resulted in him making powerful enemies, resulting in his sudden disappearance in 1975.
12:12He was often called the most powerful man in America, and his disappearance remains one of this century's greatest unsolved mysteries.
12:20An investigation was carried out, but he was never seen again.
12:23The details, including who did it and where his body was disposed of, remain unsolved decades later.
12:29Many have been accused or taken credit for the crime, but nothing has been confirmed.
12:34Hoffa is now sailing on a beautiful vessel off the Greek Isles, laughing at us all.
12:39As for his final resting place, there are rumors of it being everywhere from Giant Stadium in New Jersey to beneath a driveway in suburban Detroit.
12:47What happened has become one of America's best-kept secrets, and it seems it may never be revealed.
12:53They are hoping to find the remains of Jimmy Hoffa out here.
12:56Number 38. The Hinterkaifeck Murders, Bavaria, Germany
12:59Taking another person's life is awful enough.
13:02Living beside them afterwards is even more unsettling.
13:05That was the fate suffered by the Gruber family in 1922, in an event now referred to as Hinterkaifeck.
13:12Days beforehand, tracks from the woods to the farm had appeared, and the family had heard sounds coming from their attic.
13:18By then, it was already too late.
13:21On March 31st, they were all slain by an intruder.
13:25Their bodies were found days later, along with evidence that their murderer had lived there for some time before fleeing.
13:30Suspects were named, but with no motive and a shaky timeline, no one was convicted.
13:36The farm was raised shortly afterward, and with it went any potential clues that may have solved it.
13:42Number 37. The Voynich Manuscript, Unknown
13:45There are several historical texts that still haven't been fully translated.
13:50Few are as bizarre and unreadable as the Voynich Manuscript.
13:54In this tangle of text and images, an expert's eye can easily get lost.
14:00It consists of eye-catching illustrations and text written in both Latin and an unidentified language.
14:06The latter in particular has made it impossible to parse, leaving the exact contents up to interpretation.
14:12Why it was created and who wrote it is still debated.
14:15It's the world's most mysterious book, written by an unknown author.
14:20However, the true mystery lies within its pages, with some theorizing it was written in code,
14:25and some guessing it was written in a tongue invented by the author themselves.
14:29Though several people have claimed to decipher it, they were found to be fraudulent,
14:34meaning the secrets held by it still aren't understood today.
14:38For the time being, the Voynich Manuscript remains what it has been for the last 600 years.
14:43It's a hole of mirrors reflecting each researcher's own imagination.
14:47Number 36. The Roswell Incident.
14:50New Mexico. The United States of America.
14:52Could one of the most infamous American incidents have some truth to it?
14:56Depending who you ask about the Roswell Incident, that answer would be yes.
15:00In 1947, New Mexico was rocked when an unidentified flying object crashed to the ground and was destroyed on impact.
15:08The Roswell Army Airfield puts out a press release saying that they have found pieces of a flying saucer.
15:15It was initially reported to be a flying disc, which was quickly redacted by the military and re-identified as a weather balloon.
15:22It was all a mistake. It was all a overreaction. It's nothing more than a very standard weather balloon with a radar reflector kite.
15:31The conspiracy theories skyrocketed immediately afterward, and they only became worse decades later after former officer Jesse Marcel claimed it had been of extraterrestrial origin.
15:41That cemented the slim theory in some people's minds.
15:45Many of the documents pertaining to the case are still classified, but the legacy it has created still lives on today.
15:51We have credible witnesses who have seen things that are difficult to explain and make it hard for the theory of the weather balloon to really hold up.
16:01Number 35. The Disappearance of Frederick Valentich, the Bass Strait
16:06Black box recordings don't get much more unsettling than this.
16:09In 1978, an aspiring pilot who had taken an unauthorized flight went missing without a trace.
16:16Frederick Valentich had reportedly been an ardent believer in alien life,
16:19making his disappearance all the more chilling.
16:22He'd been flying over the Bass Strait when he reported a faulty engine and another aircraft flying above him.
16:27He asked the Millbourne Tower if there were any aircraft in his vicinity
16:31because he had said there was another object about a thousand feet higher than him.
16:38It sounded normal, until he added that the other craft wasn't a plane.
16:42That was the last thing he said before a horrifying noise was heard, cutting him off permanently.
16:47Frederick Valentich has been missing now for 46 years, and yet we are still talking about him.
16:54Some assumed he had been abducted, while detractors claim he had become disoriented and even flew upside down before crashing.
17:01His body and craft have never been discovered, leaving his fate up to the imagination.
17:06What was the strange metallic object Frederick Valentich reported in real time?
17:11We may never know for sure.
17:13Number 34. The Disappearance of Flight 19, The Bermuda Triangle
17:18Solo pilots aren't the only ones in danger of going missing mid-flight.
17:22Even those flying in a group are left to the whims of the world around them, sometimes resulting in tragedy.
17:27Their disappearance became the linchpin of a modern legend of the supernatural.
17:31During a standard training flight in 1945,
17:35Lieutenant Charles C. Taylor and the trainees he'd been with got lost while traveling over Florida.
17:39He remained in sparse contact with air control, reporting that if one of them lost enough fuel,
17:44they would all go down with it.
17:45By 8 p.m., the other four planes had disappeared beneath the waves.
17:50The legend of Flight 19 had begun.
17:53Afterwards, communication was lost for good, and a search was immediately launched.
17:58They found evidence of an explosion, but no bodies or aircraft were nearby.
18:02Since that fateful night, their final resting place remains a mystery that no one has been able to solve.
18:08No matter what the explanation, the 14 men of Flight 19 deserve to be honored.
18:13Not as victims of the supernatural, but as brave men who died in the service of their country.
18:19Number 33. Escape from Alcatraz, San Francisco, the United States of America
18:24You'd think a prison placed on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean would be enough to deter escape attempts.
18:30However, the call for freedom was too tempting for Frank Morris and brothers John and Clarence Anglin,
18:35leading them to flee Alcatraz in 1962.
18:37All three prisoners have vanished from their cells, with three lifelike papier-mâché heads left behind.
18:44Once they cleared the walls of the prison and the fences surrounding it,
18:47they used a hastily built raft and sailed away.
18:50What happened to them afterwards remains legend.
18:53Sometime around 10 p.m., Frank Morris, John Anglin, and his brother Clarence
18:58launched their makeshift raft into the treacherous waters of the San Francisco Bay,
19:05never to be seen again.
19:06Some believe they drowned immediately, while those more optimistic think they successfully reached an island nearby.
19:12Neither they nor their remains have been found,
19:15though a letter reportedly written by John Anglin claimed they all survived the escape.
19:19The source isn't certain, however, leaving their fates up to interpretation.
19:23It's still one of the great mysteries of the 20th century, and everybody gloms onto it because they love when an underdog wins.
19:31Number 32.
19:32The Disappearance of the Sodder Children
19:34West Virginia, the United States of America
19:37The resilience of a grieving family cannot be understated.
19:40Kids are celebrating Christmas Eve.
19:42They're allowed to stay up well past their bedtime.
19:44Unbeknownst to them, all of their lives are going to change within a matter of hours.
19:49When a fire claimed the home of the Sodder family in 1945, they had no idea that their troubles were only just beginning.
19:56That night, only the parents and four children had survived, and authorities determined the others had perished.
20:02Within minutes, George, Jenny, and four of their children run outside.
20:06However, Jenny Sauter questioned that theory, and soon began to speculate that they had simply disappeared.
20:12They publicized their search, putting up billboards and offering rewards in exchange for helpful information.
20:18By the 1960s, no answers had been found, but they did receive a letter with a photo of a man claiming to be their son.
20:25Their efforts have continued into the 21st century, but not even the internet has been powerful enough to find them.
20:31They didn't find any traces of these bodies.
20:34No bones, not even a piece of a tooth.
20:36Number 31.
20:37The Tunguska Event.
20:38Yenisysk Governorate, Russia.
20:40One morning in June of 1908, anyone living near Yenisysk Governorate was awoken not by the sound of birds, but with a massive explosion.
20:49The immediate effects were harsh, with several trees toppling over and three people reportedly passing away.
20:55In one hour, the explosion and the great fire that followed destroy a region of forest the size of Greater London.
21:01Despite how large it was, there was no impact site upon investigation.
21:06This was later credited to a smaller asteroid that had combusted while in the air.
21:10Though it may seem resolved, there are still some who have opposing ideas.
21:14The Tunguska disaster changed our view of the world and our place in the cosmos.
21:22One suggests that the blast came from within the Earth rather than above it, which would also explain the lack of a crater.
21:28With there being no way to know the exact events leading up to the blast, the exact cause may never be found.
21:34Of course, my favorite theory is the one about a spaceship from another planet.
21:39They wanted to visit us and have a picnic here.
21:42Then there was an accident and the spacecraft exploded.
21:45Number 30.
21:46The Overton Bridge.
21:47West Dumbartonshire, Scotland.
21:49Dog lovers may want to brace themselves.
21:51Upon first glance, there isn't anything outwardly unsettling about Overton Bridge.
21:55Yet, the Scottish structure has been the cause of several beloved pets' demise.
21:59So tell me about what happened when you walked Hendrix over the bridge.
22:04In the 1950s, dogs began leaping off the side for seemingly no reason.
22:08One moment, they would be walking obediently with their owners, and the next, they would be gone.
22:13This would even occur in well-behaved canines.
22:16Was Hendrix prone to jumping?
22:18No.
22:19No?
22:19No.
22:20It's completely random.
22:21Aye.
22:22One dog specialist theorized that the scent of mink urine in the area could be driving them to jump.
22:27However, the presence of mink in the area is questioned.
22:31To this day, the phenomenon remains unsolved.
22:34So if you have to take your pooch across, we recommend keeping them on a tighter leash than usual.
22:40Number 29.
22:41The Crooked Forest.
22:42West Pomerania, Poland.
22:44Trees are fairly standard beings, with most growing from roots below ground.
22:49Yet, the crooked forest in Poland appears to deviate from that norm entirely.
22:53Around 1930, a new grove of pines was added.
22:56Rather than stand up straight, they curved at the base, appearing to sit atop the dirt.
23:01The trees are all the same age, and they all bend north.
23:06Researchers are fairly certain human interaction was the cause.
23:09But why this shape was desired or how it was achieved still evades them.
23:14One of the leading theories is that they were grown that way to make carpentry easier.
23:18But even that has remained unproven.
23:20That particular theory maintains that the trees were shaped before 1930,
23:23but were abandoned before they could be harvested with the outbreak of World War II.
23:27The forest is available to visit, giving people from all over the world a chance to puzzle over the anomaly for themselves.
23:33Number 28.
23:34The Paracas Candelabra.
23:36Paracas Peninsula, Peru.
23:37Archaeologists are used to having to come up with explanations for the things they find.
23:42But not everything comes with a set background.
23:44Some finds are simply too bizarre to understand easily, such as the Paracas candelabra in Peru.
23:50Coming in at over 600 feet tall, the odd candelabra-shaped geoglyph has no established meaning or explanation for its existence.
23:58The only clue offering any sort of information was a collection of pottery found nearby,
24:03allowing experts to date the landmark as far back as 200 BCE.
24:07How or why the civilization at the time went about constructing it has remained elusive,
24:12making this one of the longest unsolved mysteries in human history.
24:16Number 27.
24:17The Potomansky Crater.
24:19Patom Highlands, Russia.
24:20Despite the huge size of the Potomansky Crater,
24:23how it came to be has eluded even the brightest experts.
24:26Though now it's more famous as the Potomansky Crater.
24:29Locals had dubbed it Fire Eagle Nest,
24:32probably because it looks like a giant bird nest sitting on a hill.
24:35Located in the thickest of dense forestation,
24:38the formation stands at well over 500 feet tall,
24:41causing it to stick out like a sore thumb among the trees.
24:44Many of the current estimates are based on some level of scientific reasoning,
24:48from past volcanic activity to the landing spot of a fallen meteorite.
24:51They believed that the space rock entered the Earth's atmosphere at incredible speeds,
24:56but had been slowed down quite a bit by the time it struck the surface.
25:00A conference was even held in 2010 in order to find out the truth.
25:03And even that collection of impressive thinkers couldn't come to a definitive conclusion.
25:07Now it serves as verification that some answers may just always be outside our reach.
25:13Number 26.
25:14The Oak Island Money Pit.
25:16Nova Scotia, Canada.
25:17An island in Nova Scotia offers adventurers the chance to go on a real-life treasure hunt themselves,
25:22if they dare.
25:23So the hope is that once we get down 50, 60 feet,
25:27we'll be able to drill horizontally, vertically.
25:30Yep.
25:30For centuries, people have tried locating the supposed riches buried on Oak Island.
25:35What they're looking for has never been confirmed,
25:37with rumors ranging from the Holy Grail to Pirate's Gold.
25:40Since the team has already obtained evidence of both silver and gold in this area,
25:45could they be close to finally locating the so-called chapel vault?
25:50Those who've attempted to find it have never succeeded,
25:52thanks to things like sinkholes and a deadly curse,
25:55that is claimed to have taken the lives of several men.
25:58With no verifiable evidence,
26:00some have wondered if the treasure even exists,
26:03or if it's simply just a hole.
26:04If you try to do a probability window, say,
26:09about the various theories,
26:10they all fit.
26:11They pretty much do.
26:12If it's the latter, it'll have been the biggest goose chase in history.
26:17But for now, the mystery lives on.
26:19Number 25.
26:21The Lost Colony of Roanoke,
26:22North Carolina, United States of America.
26:25There are some occurrences we've only begun to question recently,
26:29but some have been puzzled over for centuries.
26:32Today, the Outer Banks of North Carolina are an inviting tourist destination.
26:37But 400 years ago, they were quite the opposite.
26:41The establishment of Roanoke was meant to be a symbol of new life in America.
26:45When John White returned to the colony from a supply run in 1590,
26:48he could have never anticipated what would await him.
26:51Nothing.
26:52His daughter and granddaughter are missing.
26:54In fact, there are no people and no houses.
26:59What remains is the wooden palisade that they built,
27:02and of course, the CRO carving that was found.
27:06What could this cryptic message possibly mean?
27:10Over 100 people disappeared,
27:12leaving behind no sign of life other than a cryptic message.
27:16There have been countless theories, both optimistic and pessimistic.
27:20Some believe the colonists were able to start anew among neighboring tribes,
27:23while others are adamant they were killed.
27:26There's even speculation that they left in order to make the founder look bad.
27:29With no answer in sight,
27:31it remains one of the country's oldest enigmas.
27:38Reports of strange lights are nothing new.
27:41For years, people have used them as evidence of the existence of aliens,
27:45as is the case with these which have appeared in Norway.
27:48I was standing out in the mountain together with some friends,
27:53and we saw this huge light in the mountainside,
27:57and then I knew there was a real phenomenon.
28:01They were first observed during the 1930s,
28:04and have varied in both color and speed.
28:07This has made their origin hard to pin down,
28:09leading to observers creating ideas of their own.
28:11When you have studied so much,
28:14and you haven't found any answer
28:16which lies inside ordinary noun physics,
28:20it must be something new.
28:23Besides the usual claims of extraterrestrial beings,
28:26some scientists have posited more logical explanations,
28:29such as the explosion of airborne particles
28:31or the result of electricity coming from quartz in the nearby valley.
28:35Despite decades of research,
28:37no definitive conclusions have been made,
28:39meaning there is a chance they could be proof
28:42of other intelligent life beyond our atmosphere.
28:44We don't know yet,
28:47and that makes it pretty exciting.
28:49Number 23.
28:50Plane of Jars.
28:51Xionghuang Plateau, Laos.
28:53Some phenomena are unexplainable due to human activities.
28:57The Plane of Jars is one of the planet's most elusive areas,
29:00but not for a lack of interest.
29:02You're taking in this vista, this view of these megalithic jars.
29:05You knew that ancient man had built them.
29:07It consists of thousands of stone receptacles,
29:10with some dating back to 660 BCE.
29:13Originally, it was believed that a lost civilization of giants placed them there.
29:17More recently, it's believed that they were used in ancient burials.
29:20Now, another one that's out there is that giants once roamed the Earth,
29:25and these were vessels that the giants constructed.
29:29Unfortunately, it's impossible to truly verify,
29:32as it was targeted by United States forces during the Laotian Civil War.
29:35Over 250 million bombs were dropped,
29:39but 80 million never went off and remain active today.
29:42This makes it difficult to examine many areas of the Plane of Jars to find answers.
29:47You know, I really don't know why they were there,
29:49but I'm in awe, and as I said, it was a spiritual experience.
29:53Number 22.
29:54Lead Masks Case.
29:55Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
29:57Even the most dedicated true crime fans will be stumped by this event,
30:00with no known killer, motive, or even a cause of death.
30:03It's no wonder why the 1966 Lead Mask Case immediately went cold.
30:08But after decades, experts are still baffled by the cause of Miguel Jose Viana
30:13and Manuel Pereira de Cruz's deaths.
30:16The two victims were discovered side by side,
30:19clad in suits and lead eye masks,
30:21alongside a set of bizarre instructions.
30:23It didn't help that authorities waited weeks to perform an autopsy,
30:38leaving the organs too decomposed to properly study.
30:41While murder was the immediate assumption,
30:43the lack of struggle has led to more unique hypotheses,
30:46such as the pair attempting to communicate with aliens and accidentally dying.
30:50Whether it was by their own hand or someone else's,
30:53the details of their fate remain sought after to this day.
30:56Number 21.
30:57The Mary Celeste, Nova Scotia.
31:00Ships going missing or even being destroyed at sea is nothing new.
31:04However, the vessel being discovered with no sign of the crew is another story entirely.
31:08You may have a ship called the Mary Celeste.
31:11The Mary Celeste was last seen leaving a port in November of 1872,
31:16with nothing appearing to be amiss.
31:18Just a month later, another ship came upon it,
31:21and found that everyone aboard had vanished.
31:24Nothing.
31:26No passengers.
31:27No crew.
31:28No captain.
31:30No sign of distress.
31:32There were signs of previous struggles,
31:34including ripped sails and a missing lifeboat,
31:37but no signs of current life.
31:39There were several personal items left alone,
31:41indicating they hadn't been targeted by thieves.
31:44The remaining guesses range from insurance fraud to attacks from a giant squid.
31:49Unfortunately, false evidence has been published over the years,
31:52making the truth all the more unreachable.
31:55Trying to understand why an experienced captain would do the one thing
31:58that really is unthinkable, which is to leave your vessel.
32:01Number 20.
32:02The Hector Cloud.
32:03The Northern Territory of Australia experiences a very bizarre phenomenon
32:07every year between September and March.
32:09Around three every afternoon, a huge thundercloud forms near the Tiwi Islands.
32:15The cloud has been named Hector by the locals,
32:17or more colloquially, Hector the Convector.
32:20This cloud was once used by pilots and sailors,
32:23and it's now the subject of intense meteorological study.
32:26We understand that it's caused by sea breezes interacting with the topography of the islands,
32:30but much about the cloud is still unknown.
32:33Perhaps future research will unveil more details about all Hector the Convector.
32:37Number 19.
32:39The Green Children of Woolpit, Suffolk, England.
32:42With no hard proof, some events end up sounding more like fiction.
32:45One year, during the harvest in the village of Woolpit in Suffolk, England,
32:49about 10 miles from Bury St. Edmunds,
32:51reapers working near old wolf pits discovered two young children, a girl and a boy.
32:57The mysterious case of two green-skinned children arriving in a small English town
33:00sounds like pure fantasy, but according to some records,
33:03it was an actual occurrence that stumped people even back then.
33:06The children were eventually taken to the local bigwig, Sir Richard de Calne,
33:11who was equally baffled by them, though he took them into his household.
33:14They'd arrived randomly, spoke another language, and ate nothing but raw beans.
33:19They slowly lost their vibrant pigment, and one even learned English.
33:23However, even that wasn't enough to learn the truth of their origins.
33:26While the most accepted explanation is that they were sick Flemish citizens,
33:30there isn't enough evidence, leading to fringe theories that they came from an unknown civilization.
33:35Proponents assert that the children could have been English,
33:38but, like many at the time, only spoke their villagers' unique dialect,
33:42some of which were unintelligible to outsiders.
33:44Regardless, it remains one of the most bizarre instances in history,
33:49if it ever even happened at all.
33:51Number 18.
33:52The Kentucky Meat Shower
33:54This sounds disgusting, and trust us, it is.
33:58Around 11 a.m. on March 3rd, 1876,
34:02small pieces of grisly meat began raining over Bath County, Kentucky.
34:06You may have seen a meteor shower, but you've never seen a shower meatier than this.
34:11Some people believed that it was divine intervention.
34:14Other people actually tasted it to see what kind of meat it was.
34:17Samples of the meat were sent to the Newark Scientific Association,
34:20which concluded that it was lung tissue.
34:22The people who didn't blame God attributed the event to vultures,
34:26who are prone to vomit their food when escaping from predators.
34:30It's likely that a kettle of vultures got spooked,
34:32took flight, and puked partially-chewed meat all over the county.
34:35But no one really knows for sure.
34:39Number 17.
34:40The Flannan Isles Lighthouse Mystery
34:42I think it's reasonable to assume that they must have seen something floating in the water
34:47and went to salvage it and got caught in the process.
34:51Found off the west coast of Scotland is the Flannan Isles Lighthouse,
34:55which saw a very creepy disappearance in December of 1900.
34:59A passing steamer called Arcter noticed that the light wasn't on,
35:02and they reported this to the Northern Lighthouse Board.
35:05A relief vessel went to the island and found the three lighthouse keepers missing.
35:09They also saw extensive damage,
35:11indicating that a strong storm had passed through the area.
35:14The initial investigation revealed that the men had been swept off the island by a giant swell.
35:18The Flannan Isles Light had just been established a few months before the disappearance of the three keepers.
35:26And it may be that the keepers were not entirely familiar with the local conditions.
35:31This has remained the primary explanation,
35:33but the case is still being extensively researched,
35:36and different theories are continuously put forward.
35:39In 1968, diggers were working in the Chinese city of Chengshe
35:53when they stumbled upon the tomb of Xinshui.
35:55She was a noblewoman who died in either 169 or 168 BCE.
36:00What makes this find so startling is the remarkable condition of Xinshui's mummy.
36:05Her muscles, skin, hair, and organs were very well-preserved.
36:09And she even had a small amount of blood still in her veins.
36:122,000-year-old woman, so well-preserved,
36:16Peng and his colleagues could dissect her like a modern corpse.
36:20Experts believe that the deep underground setting and coffin type ensured the preservation of the body.
36:25But some questions still remain.
36:27For example, they don't know why this particular body was so well-preserved
36:31when not many others have been found under similar circumstances.
36:36Number 15.
36:37The Pollock sisters.
36:38If there's one convincing case of reincarnation, it's the Pollock sisters.
36:43The Pollocks were walking to church when they were struck by a car and killed in May of 1957.
36:4917 months later, their mother, Florence Pollock, gave birth to identical twin girls.
36:54The parents immediately noticed similarities to their deceased daughters,
36:57like identical scars and birthmarks.
37:00The girls also shared eerily similar personality traits and interests.
37:04And despite moving away from the area at nine months old,
37:07they both knew their way around when they returned for a visit four years later.
37:11Some see this as a genuine case of reincarnation.
37:14Others believe it's mere coincidence inflated by grieving parents desperate to make connections.
37:19What about you?
37:21Number 14.
37:22The Disappearance of Amelia Earhart.
37:24She was one of the most famous people in the world.
37:26People hung on her every word and followed her activities.
37:30There's a very good chance that Amelia Earhart crashed into the ocean.
37:34However, no one can make a definitive claim, as nothing has been proven either way.
37:39Earhart was an incredibly famous pilot in her day,
37:42being the first female to cross the Atlantic and writing numerous books.
37:46Earhart was attempting to fly around the globe in 1937,
37:50when she disappeared near Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean.
37:53They know from the signal strength that she is coming,
37:56but they can't see her, and she can't find the island.
38:02It was a headline story for quite a while, and then gradually it died down.
38:08Most people believe that she simply ran out of fuel and crashed,
38:11but no evidence of her plane has ever been found.
38:14Another popular theory suggests that Earhart crashed near,
38:18or landed on Gardner Island in Kiribati.
38:20But again, there's no hard evidence to suggest this.
38:23All we have is speculation.
38:27Number 13. The Circleville Letters
38:29In 1977, residents of Circleville, Ohio,
38:33began receiving threatening and harassing anonymous letters.
38:36We're not talking about a couple or hundreds, but thousands of letters.
38:40They all had the same block lettering,
38:42and they would target politicians and leaders,
38:44but also just plain folks who had nothing to do with the running of Circleville at all.
38:49The letters had very distinctive handwriting,
38:51and contained accusations of embezzlement, affairs, and even murders.
38:56Ron Gillespie died under mysterious circumstances after receiving a phone call
39:00and announcing that he was going to confront the writer.
39:03Was Ron Gillespie's death an accident?
39:05Was he really drunk that night?
39:08And why had one bullet been fired from his handgun?
39:11His wife was nearly killed by a gun in a booby trap attached to a sign.
39:15It turned out that Paul Freshour, Ron's brother-in-law, bought the gun,
39:19and his handwriting was deemed to match the letters.
39:23You know, I can't blame the jury, because the jury didn't hear all the evidence.
39:28But I was just, I just couldn't believe it. I was really in shock.
39:32Yet during his time in prison, people in town continued receiving them,
39:36even while Freshour was in solitary confinement.
39:39If Freshour was the writer, he wasn't working alone.
39:43We are writing this off as an unsolved mystery.
39:46Four decades later, the debate over the writer's identity continues.
39:51Number 12. Havana Syndrome.
39:54Doctors said that diplomats' brain matter had actually changed.
39:58What started out as a mysterious nuisance
40:00became a suspected instrument of attack.
40:04Since 2016, U.S. officials and military personnel
40:08have been experiencing strange symptoms.
40:11These include pain, ringing in the ears,
40:13as well as difficulty with cognitive processes.
40:16A source says starting last December,
40:18the U.S. officials were exposed to a sonic device,
40:22which experts suggest could produce sound waves
40:24below and above human hearing,
40:27which could cause these symptoms.
40:29Named for the location it was initially reported,
40:31the embassy in Havana, Cuba.
40:33Havana Syndrome has since been reported
40:35at U.S. bases and embassies in various countries.
40:39While some of those suffering from it
40:40have existing head injuries that could explain the symptoms,
40:43not all of them do.
40:47The recording is just one of the many sounds taken in Cuba
40:50that led investigators to initially believe it was a sonic weapon.
40:55Proposed explanations have included a psychogenic illness,
40:58the sound of crickets, or even a microwave weapon.
41:01While the CIA has concluded that most cases
41:04were probably not caused by a foreign power,
41:07two dozen cases remain unexplained.
41:10Accidental or targeted,
41:11Havana Syndrome is yet to be fully understood.
41:14Who or what caused it?
41:16A mystery.
41:17The United States government is still not sure
41:20who or what is responsible for those health attacks.
41:23Number 11.
41:24The Max Headroom hijackings.
41:26On November 22nd in 1987,
41:29the broadcast of two Chicago TV stations was interrupted.
41:33Both interruptions featured an unidentified man
41:36dressed as the British AI character Max Headroom.
41:38The masked man disparaged the local station he was interrupting,
41:48made several pop culture references,
41:50and got spanked by a flyswatter.
41:53The heavily distorted audio,
41:55rotating background,
41:56and masked man gave the hijackings
41:58an eerie, almost David Lynchian feel.
42:01The hijackers couldn't be identified,
42:13nor did they come forward
42:14after the statute of limitations on their crime expired.
42:17These broadcasts seem destined to remain
42:20as mystifying as their contents.
42:22It takes some pretty significant equipment,
42:25technical equipment,
42:26and some knowledge of broadcast frequencies,
42:29microwave frequencies.
42:30Number 10.
42:31Salish Sea Feet.
42:33Since 2007,
42:35residents of Washington, USA,
42:36and British Columbia, Canada
42:38have found some rather morbid jetsam
42:40washed up on their beaches.
42:41Detached human feet.
42:43Most of them were found still inside shoes.
42:46Now you also have to consider
42:48whether or not this could be
42:50a serial killer,
42:52somebody who right now
42:53is underneath the radar.
42:55But physical anthropologists cautioned
42:57that while the spate of discoveries
42:58was new and startling,
43:00public awareness could have prompted people
43:01to pay attention to stray running shoes.
43:04Foul play has been ruled out,
43:06as most of the identified victims
43:08were involved in accidents
43:09or took their own lives.
43:11It's been speculated
43:12that the feet detached
43:13as the bodies decayed,
43:14and that the air pockets
43:15and buoyant foam and sneakers
43:17floated them to the surface.
43:18Too many unanswered questions
43:20remain.
43:21Who do the feet belong to?
43:23Why are they always in running shoes?
43:26Could something truly insidious
43:29be at play in the region?
43:31But it still seems extremely odd
43:33that there have been so many,
43:35and all around the same area.
43:37There are still far more questions
43:39and answers.
43:39Are these cases connected?
43:41How did the people die?
43:42And how many more feet are out there
43:44still to be found?
43:46Number 9.
43:48The Hum
43:48It's an unsolved mystery
43:50keeping this neighborhood awake at night.
43:52Sounds like 50 trucks
43:54starting up
43:55when it's very loud.
43:57This is kind of like
43:58the Havana Syndrome,
43:59only far more widespread
44:00and involving people
44:01not related to the American government.
44:04Reports of a general humming
44:05or rumbling noise
44:06have been made all across the world,
44:08including Windsor, Ontario, Canada
44:10and Taos, New Mexico,
44:12both of which have their own
44:13specially named hums.
44:14It's like a very low,
44:17almost like a vibration.
44:19You think you hear it,
44:20but it could be your mind
44:21playing tricks on you.
44:22While this sounds
44:23enormously irritating,
44:25help has been rare
44:26to non-existent.
44:27No one knows
44:28what's causing the humming,
44:29with different areas
44:30reporting their own
44:31possible causes.
44:32For example,
44:33the Windsor hum
44:34reportedly ended in 2020
44:35when the blast furnaces
44:37of a local plant
44:38were deactivated.
44:39Others have blamed
44:40the likes of tinnitus,
44:41animals,
44:42and jet streams.
44:43Number 8.
44:44The Dancing Plague
44:45The medieval period
44:47was a scary time,
44:48full of misery and poverty.
44:50These issues
44:51may have led
44:52to the Dancing Plague.
44:53The curious mania
44:54affected Europe
44:55throughout much of this period,
44:56spanning from the 14th
44:58to the 17th century.
44:59People would take
45:00to the streets
45:01and dance
45:01until they hurt themselves
45:02or collapsed from exhaustion.
45:04Some sources claim that,
45:05for at least
45:06some portion
45:06of the outbreak,
45:07as many as 15 people
45:09were dying a day.
45:10And if it's not already obvious,
45:11the dancers
45:12weren't having fun.
45:13Sometimes,
45:14good-intentioned musicians
45:15would accompany the dancers,
45:17believing that their sounds
45:18would cure the affliction.
45:19The plan was a disaster.
45:22Rather than tire out
45:22the dancers,
45:23the music and the stage
45:24only encouraged
45:25more people to join in.
45:26It was the best
45:27that anyone could do,
45:28because no one
45:29knew how to treat it.
45:31Even to this day,
45:32the incident
45:32is poorly understood.
45:34Some attribute it
45:34to the general stress
45:35of living in medieval Europe,
45:37others to ergot poisoning
45:38and religious cults.
45:40Number seven,
45:41The Black Dahlia,
45:42Los Angeles,
45:43California,
45:44United States of America.
45:45The solutions
45:46to some crimes
45:47that have been investigated
45:48for decades,
45:49such as the murder
45:50of Elizabeth Short,
45:51are still just as elusive
45:52as they were
45:53when they first began.
45:54This is Los Angeles'
45:55most notorious unsolved murder.
45:57The aspiring actress
45:58who became known
45:59as The Black Dahlia
46:00met her brutal fate
46:01in 1947.
46:03And since then,
46:04authorities have not come
46:05any closer
46:05to finding the killer.
46:07Besides the untrue details
46:08about Short herself
46:09that circulated
46:10throughout the media,
46:11over 500 people
46:13have confessed,
46:13some of whom
46:14were born
46:14after the crime took place.
46:16The killer
46:16even wrote letters
46:17taunting the police
46:19and also sent
46:20Elizabeth Short's
46:21personal address book
46:23to a local newspaper.
46:25Celebrities
46:25and normal people alike
46:26have been named
46:27as potential perpetrators,
46:28with each lead
46:29eventually ending
46:30in a dead end.
46:31Despite the lack
46:32of results,
46:33many still are interested
46:34in finally giving her justice.
46:36This case,
46:37this investigation
46:37has been described
46:38as a riddle
46:39wrapped in a mystery
46:40inside an enigma.
46:41And I can't think
46:42of a more perfect
46:43description than that.
46:44Number 6.
46:45Tromp Family Breakdown
46:47No, Tromp
46:48with an O.
46:50In 2016,
46:51Mark and Jacoba Tromp
46:53took their three
46:53adult children
46:54on an impromptu road trip
46:56hundreds of miles north,
46:57leaving their house
46:58unlocked.
46:59Mark seemed convinced
47:01that people were out
47:01to get them
47:02and forbade phones.
47:04Their son Mitchell
47:04brought one anyway,
47:06but it was later
47:06thrown out the car window.
47:08He left,
47:09not understanding
47:10his parents' paranoia.
47:11Later,
47:12the daughters left too,
47:13stealing a car
47:14before splitting up.
47:16One,
47:16Rihanna,
47:17was found
47:17in a catatonic state.
47:19Ultimately,
47:20all returned safely,
47:21but no explanation
47:22has been given
47:23specifically
47:24for what happened.
47:25Whether it was
47:25shared psychosis
47:26or someone was out
47:27to get the tromps,
47:28the case
47:28has fascinated
47:29the world
47:30ever since.
47:31I thought at first
47:32that Trump
47:32had gone missing.
47:33I saw that,
47:35I went,
47:35Trump's gone missing.
47:36I went,
47:37well,
47:37there you go.
47:37Speaking of delusion.
47:38Yeah,
47:38exactly.
47:39All right.
47:40Number five,
47:41the Oakville Blobs.
47:42In 1994,
47:44Oakville,
47:44Washington,
47:45experienced
47:45perhaps the strangest
47:47weather phenomenon
47:47of the last few decades.
47:49It rained blobs.
47:51Strange goo
47:52fell from the sky
47:53over a period
47:54of several weeks,
47:55blanketing the town
47:56in ooze.
47:57And it made people sick.
48:01I got sick,
48:01my wife got sick,
48:02my daughter.
48:03What's even more bizarre
48:04is that the residents
48:05experienced a widespread
48:06illness that lasted
48:08for several weeks too.
48:09So what could this goo
48:11have been?
48:12Someone theorized
48:14that since the Navy
48:15had been conducting
48:16live bombing runs
48:18at sea,
48:19they might have
48:20blown up a school
48:21of jellyfish.
48:23And of course,
48:24this jellyfish
48:24would have been
48:25thrown up into the air
48:26and floated
48:2950 miles inland
48:30and over a period
48:32of three weeks
48:34fallen six times.
48:36Was it evaporated
48:37bits of jellyfish
48:38that reformed
48:39in a cloud
48:39or maybe waste
48:41from an airplane?
48:42The most troubling
48:43theory is that
48:44the event
48:44was a military experiment
48:46on U.S. soil.
48:47Translation,
48:48germ warfare.
48:50There are a whole
48:51mess of theories
48:52about this messy
48:53and weird weather.
48:55Number four,
48:56the wow signal.
48:57If we did discover
48:59an actual signal
49:01from an alien civilization,
49:03it would profoundly
49:04change human beings.
49:07Despite some
49:07very extensive
49:08and incredibly
49:09expensive efforts,
49:10we have found
49:11no hard evidence
49:12of extraterrestrial life,
49:14at least not
49:14public evidence.
49:15But we do have
49:17the wow signal.
49:18It was August 15,
49:191977,
49:20and a telescope
49:21at Ohio State University
49:22picked up a very
49:23bizarre radio wave.
49:25The telescope
49:25recorded the signal
49:26for a solid 72 seconds.
49:28So imagine you're
49:29listening closely
49:30for something as
49:30quiet as a pin
49:32to drop.
49:32Bam, you hear
49:33something as loud
49:34as books slamming
49:35on a table.
49:36That's what happened.
49:37A few days later,
49:38astronomer Jerry Eamon
49:39was studying the data
49:40when he stumbled
49:41across the signal.
49:41He circled the series
49:43of letters and numbers
49:44in red ink
49:44and wrote a very
49:45enthusiastic wow
49:47beside it.
49:48Wow is right.
49:49To this day,
49:50no one knows
49:51what caused the signal.
49:52And despite
49:53significant effort,
49:54it has never
49:55been found again.
49:56It is the best
49:57evidence we know of
49:58of coming from
50:00some other civilization.
50:01Number 3.
50:02D.B. Cooper
50:03The story of D.B. Cooper
50:05has captured
50:05our collective
50:06imaginations
50:07for decades.
50:08Well, he either
50:09got away
50:09or else he sure
50:10made a big hole
50:10in the ground up there.
50:11On November 24, 1971,
50:14a man largely known
50:15as D.B. Cooper
50:16hijacked an airplane
50:17for the modern equivalent
50:18of $1.3 million.
50:20The plane landed
50:21in Seattle
50:22and Cooper allowed
50:23the passengers
50:23to disembark.
50:24He then ordered
50:25that the empty
50:26aircraft be flown
50:27to Mexico City.
50:28But shortly
50:29after takeoff,
50:30Cooper opened the door
50:31and jumped out
50:31with his parachute.
50:33And with that,
50:33he disappeared
50:34from both the plane
50:35and history.
50:36His identity
50:37is never uncovered
50:38nor is his body.
50:40It's impossible.
50:42Neither the man
50:43nor the money
50:43has ever been found.
50:45But a small portion
50:46was discovered
50:46on the Columbia River
50:47in 1980.
50:49It's likely
50:49that Cooper died
50:50in the jump,
50:51but we just
50:52don't know for sure.
50:53Number 2.
50:54The Disappearance
50:55of Malaysian Airlines
50:56Flight 370.
50:57Families waiting
50:58for MH370.
51:02They still wait
51:03and really,
51:04they don't know
51:05much more
51:06than they did
51:06that first awful morning.
51:09On March 8, 2014,
51:11Malaysian Airlines
51:12Flight 370
51:13vanished
51:14while flying
51:15from Malaysia
51:15to China.
51:16After a loss
51:17of communications
51:18and its disappearance
51:19from civilian radar,
51:20Flight 370
51:21reappeared
51:22on military radar,
51:23having deviated
51:24from its planned
51:25flight path.
51:26Approaching the point
51:27at which
51:28Malaysian air traffic
51:29control
51:29will hand over
51:31to Vietnam.
51:34Then,
51:36Captain Zahari
51:37makes a last,
51:38routine,
51:39but now infamous
51:40radio transmission.
51:42Good night.
51:42Good night,
51:43Malaysia.
51:43It's 370.
51:44The disappearance
51:46has fascinated
51:47the public for years
51:48and led to
51:49several expensive searches.
51:51It seemed impossible
51:52for an entire airplane
51:54to just go missing
51:55in an age
51:56where everything
51:56can be seen
51:57by satellites.
51:58Although a few pieces
52:00have washed ashore,
52:01the bulk of the aircraft
52:02and the reason
52:03for its deviation
52:04remain unclear.
52:05What happened
52:06to the flight
52:07has haunted
52:07the world
52:08ever since.
52:10We're not used
52:10to planes
52:11just disappearing.
52:12If they come down,
52:14we expect
52:15to be able
52:16to find out why.
52:18Speculations
52:19have run the gamut
52:20from a hijacking
52:21to being shot down
52:22to some kind
52:23of equipment failure.

52:40Number 1.
52:41The Dyatlov Pass Incident
52:42In 1959,
52:45nine Russian hikers
52:46were found dead
52:47in the Ural Mountains.
52:48All were severely injured,
52:50several were undressed,
52:51and they had cut their way
52:53out of their tent
52:53from the inside.
52:55Some were burned
52:56and others
52:57slightly radioactive.
52:58Most seem to have died
53:00of hypothermia
53:01or their injuries.
53:02The case has baffled
53:03the public
53:04and authorities
53:05for over half a century.
53:07Theories include
53:07an avalanche,
53:08an animal attack,
53:09or military involvement.
53:11This is the last photo
53:13taken by the hikers
53:14before they died.
53:15It's out of focus,
53:16but it seems to show
53:17mysterious lights
53:18in the sky.
53:20The most plausible theory
53:21involves the group
53:22camping against
53:23a heavy snowbank,
53:24which collapsed,
53:25leading them
53:25to assume an avalanche
53:26and freezing
53:27after they escaped
53:28the tent.
53:29But,
53:30unless there really was
53:31outside involvement,
53:32only the victims
53:33know the truth.
53:34The evidence here
53:35is both extensive
53:36yet maddeningly incomplete.
53:39And until we fill
53:40in the gaps,
53:41the case cannot
53:42be fully closed.
53:44Do you have theories
53:45about any of these
53:46unusual events
53:46or discoveries?
