Inexplicable mysteries of the planet (20 photos). Unexplained phenomena - supernatural and strange mysteries of the modern world
"Taos noise"
Have you heard how an engine or a drilling rig works? It is such an unpleasant noise that disturbs the peace of the inhabitants of the American city of Taos. An incomprehensible buzz coming from the direction of the desert first appeared almost 18 years ago, and since then it has regularly reappeared. When residents of the city asked the authorities to investigate, it turned out that the noise seemed to come from the bowels of the earth, it could not be registered by location devices, and only 2% of the city's population heard it. A similar phenomenon is observed in other regions of the planet. It occurs especially often in Europe. As in the case of the Taoist rumble, its causes and source have not yet been discovered.
Ghost doppelgangers
Cases where people meet their doppelgangers are not uncommon. Stories about doppelgangers (this is so as not to write “doubles” twice in a row) are present both in medical practice, which is just not at all surprising, and in historical documents and literary works. Guy de Maupassant told his friends about meeting his double. The mathematician Descartes, the French writer George Sand, the English poets and writers Shelley, Byron, Walter Scott also encountered their copies. We will not even mention Dostoevsky's story "The Double".
However, doppelgangers also visit people of prosaic professions. Here are the stories compiled by Dr. Edward Podolsky. One woman saw her doppelgänger while putting on makeup in front of a mirror. A man working in the garden noticed his exact copy next to him, repeating all his movements.
Scientists suggest that the secret of doppelgangers may be hidden in our brains. Processing information, our nervous system creates the so-called spatial scheme of the body, which, due to reasons unknown to science, is divided into real and astral images. Alas, this is just a hypothesis.
Life after death
The light at the end of a dark tunnel, an unusual luminous creature, a calling voice, the ghosts of deceased loved ones - this is what awaits a person in the next world, according to the "resurrected". In other words, those who have undergone clinical death.
One of the proofs of the reality of the afterlife was the study of William James, which he conducted with the participation of the medium Leonora Piper. For about ten years, the doctor organized séances, during which Leonora spoke either on behalf of the Indian girl Chlorin, or Commander Vanderbilt, or Longfellow, or Johann Sebastian Bach, or the actress Siddons. The doctor invited viewers to his sessions: journalists, scientists, other mediums, so that they could confirm that communication with the world of the dead was really happening.
Unfortunately, there are no scientific facts on this subject yet. However, maybe it's for the best?
noisy spirit
The poltergeist is an inexplicable phenomenon and at the same time a constant hero of the yellow press. “The barabashka stole the salary of the family from Kapotnya and wrote a swear word on the wall”, “Poltergeist became the father of three children”, - these and similar headings are still regularly followed by the audience.
For the first time, the poltergeist was mentioned almost two thousand years ago by the historian Titus Livy, who described how someone invisible threw stones at Roman soldiers. After that, cases of the appearance of a poltergeist were described many more times. Mentions of this phenomenon are present even in the annals of a French monastery. According to the chronicler, on September 16, 1612, something incredible happened in the house of the Huguenot priest Francois Perrault. It all started with the fact that at midnight the curtains began to draw by themselves, and someone pulled the bed linen from the beds. Loud noises were heard in various parts of the house, and in the kitchen someone was throwing dishes. The poltergeist not only methodically demolished the house, but also cursed desperately. The church decided that the devil had taken up residence in the house of the sinner Huguenot, and Martin Luther later proposed calling the "obscene spirit" a poltergeist. After 375 years in the USSR it will be called a barabashka.
heavenly signs
According to history, clouds are not only white-maned horses. From time immemorial, eyewitness accounts have been preserved, telling about whole pictures, meaningful signs and numbers that suddenly appeared in the sky. According to legend, one of these heavenly visions predicted the victory of Julius Caesar, and another - a blood-red flag with a white cross - gave strength to the retreating Danish troops and helped them defeat the pagan Estonians.
Scientists are skeptical about such pictures in the sky and name several reasons for their appearance. Today, various figures in the sky can form aircraft exhausts. After the aircraft fuel burns out, water vapor enters the atmosphere, immediately turning into ice crystals. Picked up by air whirlwinds, they behave very unpredictably and can create various shapes. Aerosols based on carbon dioxide and barium salts sprayed during weather experiments can also be the cause of such phenomena. In addition, air, due to its specific properties, sometimes acquires the ability to reflect what is happening on Earth.
The phenomenon of wandering graves
In 1928, all the Scottish newspapers were full of news about the grave that had disappeared from the cemetery of the small town of Glenysville. Relatives who came to visit the deceased found an empty place instead of a stone gravestone. The grave was never found.
In 1989, on a farm in Kansas, right in the middle of a barnyard, a grave mound grew overnight with a rickety and cracked tombstone. Due to the poor condition of the plate, it was not possible to read the name on it. But when the grave was dug up, a coffin with human remains was found in it.
All this devilry is considered commonplace in some African and Polynesian tribes. There is a tradition to douse a fresh grave with tree sap and cover it with shells. This is done, according to the priests, so that the grave "does not leave."
pyrokinesis
Cases when people engulfed in flames of unknown origin turned into a handful of ashes in just a few minutes have been known for a very long time. Although this phenomenon occurs infrequently: over the entire last century, only 19 cases of pyrokinesis have been recorded in the world. Why this happens, and most importantly, why the flame often does not spread to surrounding objects, scientists cannot explain.
In 1969, a dead man was found in his car. His face and hands were burned, but for some reason the fire did not touch his hair and eyebrows. Quite a fantastic incident occurred in the Canadian province of Alberta. Two sisters flared up at the same moment, being in different parts of the city, a kilometer apart.
Versions of the origin of pyrokinesis are increasingly fantastic. Some doctors are trying to connect spontaneous combustion of people with their internal state, since most of the victims are known to have been depressed for a long time. Others believe that mainly alcoholics fall under the influence of pyrokinesis. Their body is so saturated with alcohol that it can flare up from the slightest spark, especially if the dead smoked. There is a version that the flame arises under the influence of either ball lightning, which happened to be nearby, or energy beams unknown to science. Recently, a completely unbelievable theory has been put forward. Allegedly, a thermonuclear reaction serves as a source of energy in a living cell, that is, under the influence of an unknown force, inexplicable energy processes begin to occur in the cell, similar to those that occur during the explosion of an atomic bomb.

10 Skunk Monkey
The skunk monkey is a cryptid creature believed to be native to Florida. The skunk monkey is most often described as a bipedal primate with long, dark hair that smells very bad. He was allegedly seen many times in swamps near Florida. In 2000, an unknown woman anonymously sent two photographs to the Sarasota Sheriff's Department. The letter attached to the photo claimed that the pictures were taken in the backyard of the woman's house, and this creature intended to steal apples from her. Skeptics claim that this is just a man in disguise or an escaped orangutan. But, in truth, it is worth noting that there are many more witnesses who allegedly saw a skunk monkey than people who saw an apple thief dressed as a monkey or an escaped orangutan.
9. Faces of Belmes 
In 1979, members of the Pereira family living in the city of Belmes began to see strange faces in their house that mysteriously appeared and disappeared. They appeared in different places and at different times. According to legend, one day in August, Maria Gomez told her husband that she saw a face right on the kitchen floor. Her husband immediately broke the floor in this place with a pick, but the same face reappeared in another place some time later. The mayor of the city after their story told them not to touch their face next time, but to leave it for study. Faces appeared over the next 30 years, these were the faces of both men and women, which expressed various emotions. It was later established that this house was built in a cemetery, and buried bodies were found under the house. Despite the fact that the floor in the house was changed several times, the faces were constantly washed with various means, they all continued and continued to appear. Skeptics claim that the faces were artificial, painted with oxidizers.
8 Fresno Stranger
This is a video from two surveillance cameras in the city of Fresno, which captured a strange figure walking along the frame. Nothing is known about this recording, and no one can explain what is happening on it. The creature in the frame moves in a strange way, as if on stilts. The quality of the recording is not very high, so it is not possible to understand exactly who is depicted on it.
It is alleged that there are allegedly other records that filmed the movement of such creatures.
7 Paulding Lights 
According to one legend, Paulding's lights appeared when a train hit a switchman at night, who was trying to signal something to a sleeping engineer. According to another legend, this is the ghost of a man who, with a lantern, was looking for his missing son in the forest at night and was hit by a train. Be that as it may, this mysterious ball of light has been emerging for 40 years. They show up almost every night. University of Michigan students claim to have debunked that myth, and these lights are just the headlights of cars driving on the freeway nearby. But many do not believe them. According to eyewitnesses, the lights are white, green and red. The city even installed special signs indicating where it is best to observe this phenomenon.
6. Ghost train tracks in San Antonio
These railroad tracks, located in San Antonio, became known as ghost tracks because of what happened to the cars that stopped on them. According to legend, once a school bus with children stalled right on the rails, and ... you can already guess what happened. The train hit the bus and all the children died. Since then, whoever stops on these rails, the ghosts of children are sure to push a car off them. In addition to moving the car, people say that the car is shaking and children's voices and whispers are heard. To make it even more creepy, people claim to find children's handprints on cars after they drive down these tracks. Skeptics believe that cars simply roll down due to the fact that this section of the road is located on a hill, but they do not find an explanation for the prints of children's hands.
5 Beckenham Gargoyle 
The video, filmed in the British city of Beckenham (video not found on YouTube), shows a gargoyle jumping off a building. Many people later looked for her in the area and said that they then had the feeling that they were being watched. But no other evidence of the existence of the gargoyle has been found. Skeptics deny the existence of the gargoyle, claiming that this video is just a montage. This creature had brightly glowing eyes, and it moved very strangely and quickly.
4. Room 428 
This room at Ohio University is inaccessible to students. It was sealed due to numerous reports of paranormal activity occurring in it. A poltergeist allegedly lives in it: people saw objects flying, doors opened and closed on their own, inexplicable shadows were visible. The most eerie event associated with this room is the appearance of a demonic face on the door. The door was changed several times, but the face appeared again and again. They say that the ghost of a student who once committed suicide lives in the room. Imagine superstitious students who have to live and study on the same floor as a ghost!
3. Zone of Silence in Mapimi 
In Mexico, near the city of Mapini, there is a desert in which there is one place that is a zone of anomalous radio wave activity. In July 1970, a test launch of a rocket was made from the US military base in Utah, which went off course and fell right in this place. A team was sent to search for the wreckage, which was supposed to deliver them back. The rocket allegedly carried a radioactive charge, due to which the upper layers of the soil were contaminated with radiation.
And since then, neither radio, nor television, nor shortwave, nor microwave, nor satellite signals can pass through this zone. Strange lights, UFOs and pale humanoid creatures have also been seen in this area. Some people claim to have seen and talked to these creatures. They asked people for water, and when asked where they came from, they answered: "From above." Perhaps this is all fiction, but it has been scientifically proven that this area has an unusually high level of magnetite in the soil. This may be evidence that a lot of meteorites used to fall here. Either way, something is wrong with this place.
2. Hand of Pangboche 
This hand was kept in a Buddhist monastery in Tibet, and some claim that it belongs to Bigfoot. Some believe that it is a fake, but many tourists came here to look at it. The monks considered this hand sacred and did not allow its scientific study. It is alleged that one day a man named Peter Byrne stole it and took it to the University of London for study. William Hill studied the hand and came to the following conclusion: the hand does indeed belong to a hominid, but rather Neanderthal than modern man. Then the hand was stolen again, and it is not known where it is now. It is believed that most likely it is in some private collection, and the owner bought it on the black market.
1. Battle for Los Angeles 
On February 24, 1942, an air raid alert was raised in Los Angeles. Many believed that this was another Japanese attack. The 37th Artillery Brigade opened barrage fire and fired 1,400 anti-aircraft rounds at a mysterious object hovering in the night sky. The shelling continued for a whole hour and was stopped at 7:21 am.
The media went crazy over the incident, front-page stories about the incident. What kind of object is this, which for an hour withstood the fire of anti-aircraft shells? Of course the weather balloon! That is what the government said when commenting on the incident. During this event, three people died of heart attacks due to stress. The target at which the fire was fired is described by some eyewitnesses as one huge object, and by some as a cluster of several small objects. Be that as it may, something strange happened in Los Angeles that night, and to this day people do not know the real reason for these events.
Oleg "Solid" Bulygin
April 12 marks the 56th anniversary of the appearance of man in space. Since then, astronauts regularly tell incredible stories that happened to them in space. Strange sounds that cannot propagate in vacuum, inexplicable visions and mysterious objects are present in the reports of many astronauts. Further, the story will go on about what so far there is no unambiguous explanation.
Already a few years after the flight, Yuri Gagarin attended one of the concerts of the popular VIA. Then he admitted that he had already heard similar music, but not on Earth, but during a flight into space.
This fact is all the more strange, since before Gagarin's flight, electronic music did not yet exist in our country, and it was precisely such a melody that the first cosmonaut heard.
Similar sensations were experienced by people who visited space later. For example, Vladislav Volkov spoke about the strange sounds that literally surrounded him during his stay in space.
“The earthly night was flying below. And suddenly from this night came ... the barking of a dog. And then the cry of a child became clearly audible! And some voices. It’s impossible to explain all this,” Volkov described the experience.
Sounds followed him almost the entire time of the flight.
American astronaut Gordon Cooper said that, flying over the territory of Tibet, he was able to see the houses with the surrounding buildings with the naked eye.
Scientists have given the effect the name “ground objects magnification,” but there is no scientific explanation for being able to view something from a distance of 300 kilometers.
A similar phenomenon was experienced by cosmonaut Vitaly Sevastyanov, who said that during the flight over Sochi he was able to see his own two-story house, which caused controversy among opticians.
Candidate of technical and philosophical sciences, test cosmonaut Sergei Krichevsky first heard about inexplicable cosmic visions and sounds from his colleague, who spent half a year on the Mir orbital complex.
When Krichevsky was preparing for his first flight into space, a colleague informed him that while in space, a person can be subject to fantastic daydreams that many astronauts have observed.
Literally, the warning was as follows: "A person undergoes one or more transformations. Transformations at that moment seem to him a natural phenomenon, as if it should be so. Visions of all astronauts are different ...
One thing is similar: those who have been in such a state determine a certain powerful flow of information coming from outside. None of the astronauts can call it hallucinations - the sensations are too real.
Later, Krichevsky called this phenomenon the "Solaris effect", which was described by the author Stanislav Lemm, whose fantastic work "Solaris" accurately predicted inexplicable cosmic phenomena.
Although there is no definitive scientific answer to the occurrence of such visions, some scientists believe that the occurrence of such unexplained cases is due to exposure to microwave radiation.
In 2003, Yang Liwei, who became the first Chinese astronaut to go into space, also witnessed the unexplainable.
He was on board the Shenzhou 5 when one night on October 16th he heard a strange sound from outside, like crackling.
According to the astronaut, he had the feeling that someone was knocking on the wall of the spacecraft in the same way as an iron ladle knocks on a tree. Liwei says that the sound did not come from outside, but not from inside the spacecraft either.
Liwei's stories were called into question, since in a vacuum, the propagation of any sound is impossible. But on subsequent Shenzhou missions in space, two other Chinese astronauts heard the same knock.
In 1969, American astronauts Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan, and John Young were on the dark side of the moon, quietly removing craters. At that moment, they heard an “otherworldly organized noise” coming from their headset.
“Space Music” went on for one hour. Scientists suggested that the sound arose due to radio interference between spacecraft, but could three experienced astronauts mistake ordinary interference for an alien phenomenon.
On May 5, 1981, Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot-cosmonaut Major General Vladimir Kovalyonok noticed something inexplicable in the window of the Salyut station.
"Many astronauts have seen phenomena that are beyond the experience of earthlings. For ten years I never talked about such things. At that time we were over the South African region, moving towards the Indian Ocean. I was just doing some gymnastic exercises when I saw in front of me through the porthole is an object whose appearance I could not explain ...
I was looking at this object, and then something happened that is impossible according to the laws of physics. The object had an elliptical shape. From the side, it seemed as if it was spinning in the direction of flight. After that, there was a kind of explosion of golden light...
Then after one or two seconds there was a second explosion somewhere else and two spheres appeared, golden and very beautiful. After this explosion, I saw white smoke. The two spheres never returned."
In 2005, American astronaut Leroy Chiao, commander of the ISS, led her for six and a half months. One day he was setting up antennas 230 miles above the Earth when he witnessed the inexplicable.
“I saw lights that seemed to line up. I saw them fly and thought it looked terribly strange,” he later said.
Cosmonaut Musa Manarov spent a total of 541 days in space, of which one in 1991 he remembered more than others. On the way to the Mir space station, he managed to capture a cigar-shaped UFO on camera.
The video is two minutes long. The astronaut said that this object shone at certain moments and moved in a spiral in space.
Dr. Story Musgrave has six PhDs and is also a NASA astronaut. It was he who told a very colorful story about UFOs.
In a 1994 interview, he said: "I saw a snake in space. It is elastic because it had internal waves, and it followed us for quite a long period of time. The more you are in space, the more incredible things you can see there" .
Cosmonaut Vasily Tsibliyev was tormented by visions in his sleep. During sleep in this position, Tsibliyev behaved extremely restlessly, he screamed, gnashed his teeth, and tossed about.
“I asked Vasily what was the matter? It turned out that he had enchanting dreams, which he sometimes took for reality. He could not retell them. He only insisted that he had never seen anything like this in his life,” said a colleague of the ship commander.
Six cosmonauts aboard the ISS, while waiting for the arrival of Soyuz-6, observed translucent figures 10 meters high for 10 minutes, which accompanied the station, and then disappeared.
Nikolai Rukavishnikov observed flashes in near-Earth space during a flight aboard the Soyuz-10 spacecraft.
During the rest, he was in a darkened compartment with his eyes closed. Suddenly he saw flashes, which at first he took for the signals of a flashing light panel, shining through his eyelids.
However, the board burned with a steady light and its brightness was not sufficient to create the observed effect.
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin recalled, "There was something there, close enough to us that we could see it."
"During the Apollo 11 mission on its way to the moon, I noticed a light in the window of the ship, it seemed that it was moving with us. There were several explanations for this phenomenon, another ship from another country, or was it the panels that moved away when we removed from a rocket lander. But it was all wrong."
"I feel absolutely convinced that we came face to face with something incomprehensible. What it was I could not classify. Technically, the definition can be one "unidentified.""
James McDivitt on June 3, 1965 made the first manned flight on the Gemini 4 and recorded: "I looked out the window and saw a white spherical object against the black sky. It abruptly changed the direction of the flight."
McDivitt also managed to photograph a long metal cylinder. The Air Force command again resorted to a tried and tested trick, announcing that the pilot confused what he saw with the Pegasus-2 satellite.
McDivitt replied: "I report that during my flight I did see what some people call a UFO, namely an unidentified flying object."
At the same time, many fellow astronauts also observed unidentified flying objects during flights.
They say that the archives of Roskosmos describe an unusual story with the crew of the Soyuz-18 spacecraft that happened in April 1975 - it was classified for 20 years. Due to the failure of the carrier rocket, the cabin of the spacecraft was fired from the rocket at an altitude of 195 km and rushed towards the Earth.
The astronauts experienced enormous G-forces during which they heard a "mechanical, like a robot" voice that asked if they wanted to live. They did not have the strength to answer, then the voice said: We will not let you die in order for you to pass on to your own - you need to abandon the conquest of space.
Having landed and climbed out of the capsule, the astronauts began to wait for rescuers. When night fell, they lit a fire. Suddenly they heard a growing whistle and at the same time they saw some kind of luminous object in the sky, hovering right above them.
By the way, the ISS cameras record unknown space objects with enviable regularity.
Cosmonaut Alexander Serebrov expressed his opinion on this issue: “There, in the depths of the Universe, it is not known what happens to people. The physical state is at least studied, but changes in consciousness are a dark forest. Doctors pretend that a person can be prepared for anything on Earth . In fact, this is absolutely not the case. "
Vladimir Vorobyov, Doctor of Medical Sciences and Senior Researcher at the Center of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, states the following: “But, visions and other inexplicable sensations in space orbit, as a rule, do not torment the astronaut, but give him a kind of pleasure, despite the fact that they cause fear. ..
It is worth considering that there is also a hidden danger in this. It is no secret that, after returning to Earth, most space explorers begin to experience a state of longing for these phenomena and at the same time experience an irresistible, and sometimes painful craving to feel these states again.”
Many anomalies that researchers have been tracking for years are only now becoming known.
Every year, scientists are increasingly confronted with phenomena on our planet that they cannot explain.
In the United States, not far from the city of Santa Cruz (California), there is one of the most mysterious places on our planet - the Praser zone. It occupies only a few acres, but scientists believe that this is an anomalous zone. After all, the laws of physics do not apply here. So, for example, people of the same height, standing on a completely flat surface, will appear one - higher, and the other - lower. Blame the anomalous zone. Researchers discovered it back in 1940. But in 70 years of studying this place, they have not been able to understand why this is happening.
In the center of the anomalous zone, George Preiser built a house in the early 1940s. However, a few years after the construction, the house tilted. Although it shouldn't have happened. After all, it was built in compliance with all the rules. It stands on a solid foundation, all angles inside the house are 90 degrees, and the two sides of its roof are absolutely symmetrical to each other. Several times this house was tried to level. They changed the foundation, put iron supports, even rebuilt the walls. But the house returned to its original position each time. Scientists explain this by the fact that in the place where the house is built, the earth's magnetic field is disturbed. After all, even the compass here shows absolutely opposite information. Instead of north, it indicates south, and instead of west, it indicates east.
Another curious property of this place is that people cannot stay here for a long time. Already after 40 minutes of being in the Prazer zone, a person experiences an inexplicable feeling of heaviness, legs become cottony, dizzy, pulse quickens. Long stay can cause a sudden heart attack. Scientists cannot yet explain this anomaly, one thing is known that such an area can both have a beneficial effect on a person, endowing him with strength and vitality, and destroy him.
Researchers of the mysterious places of our planet, in recent years, have come to a paradoxical conclusion. Anomalous zones exist not only on Earth, but also in space. And it is possible that they are related. Moreover, some scientists believe that our entire solar system is a kind of anomaly in the universe.
After studying 146 star systems that are similar to our solar system, the researchers found that the larger the planet, the closer it is to its star. Closer to the luminary is the largest planet, then the smaller one follows, and so on.
However, in our solar system, everything is just the opposite: the largest planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptupe - are on the outskirts, and the smallest are located closest to the Sun. Some researchers even explain this anomaly by the fact that supposedly our system was artificially created by someone. And this someone deliberately arranged the planets in such an order to make sure that nothing happened to the Earth and its inhabitants.
For example, the fifth planet from the Sun - Jupiter - is a real shield of the planet Earth. The gas giant is in an atypical orbit for such a planet. So, as if specially located so as to serve as a kind of space umbrella for the Earth. Jupiter plays the role of a kind of "trap", intercepting objects that would otherwise fall on our planet. Suffice it to recall July 1994, when fragments of the Shoemaker-Levy comet crashed into Jupiter with great speed, the area of the explosions then was comparable to the diameter of our planet.
In any case, science now takes the issue of finding and studying anomalies, as well as trying to meet other intelligent beings, already seriously. And this is bearing fruit. So, suddenly, scientists made an incredible discovery - there are two more planets in the solar system.
An international team of astronomers recently published even more sensational research results. It turns out that in ancient times our Earth was illuminated by two suns at once. It happened about 70 thousand years ago. A star appeared on the outskirts of the solar system. And our distant ancestors, who lived in the Stone Age, could observe the radiance of two heavenly bodies at once: the Sun and a foreign guest. This star, which tours alien planetary systems, is called the Scholz star by astronomers. Named after the discoverers Ralf-Dieter Scholz. In 2013, he first identified it as a star closest to the Sun.
The size of a star is one tenth of our Sun. How long the celestial body stayed visiting the solar system is not exactly known. But at the moment, Scholz's star, according to astronomers, is at a distance of 20 light years from Earth, and continues to move away from us.
Astronauts talk about many anomalous phenomena. However, often their memories are hidden for many years. People who have been in space are reluctant to reveal the mysteries they have witnessed. But sometimes astronauts make statements that become sensational.
Buzz Aldrin is the second person after Neil Armstrong to walk on the moon. Aldrin claims that he observed space objects of unknown origin long before his famous flight to the moon. Back in 1966. Aldrin then made a spacewalk, and his colleagues saw some unusual object next to him - a luminous figure of two ellipses, which almost instantly moved from one point of space to another.
If only one astronaut Buzz Aldrin saw a strange luminous ellipse, then this could be attributed to physical and psychological overload. But the luminous object was spotted by the dispatchers of the command post
The American Space Agency officially admitted in July 1966 that the objects that the astronauts saw could not be classified. They cannot be attributed to the category of phenomena explainable by science.
The most amazing thing is that all the astronauts and astronauts who have visited the Earth's orbit have mentioned strange phenomena in space. Yuri Gagarin has repeatedly said in interviews that he heard beautiful music in orbit. Cosmonaut Alexander Volkov, who has been in space three times, said that he distinctly heard a dog barking and a child crying.
Some scientists believe that for millions of years the entire space of the solar system has been under the close supervision of extraterrestrial civilizations. All the planets of the system are under their hood. And these cosmic forces are not only observers. They save us from cosmic threats, and sometimes from self-destruction.
On March 11, 2011, an earthquake measuring 9 on the Richter scale occurs 70 kilometers off the east coast of the Japanese island of Honshu - the strongest in the history of Japan.
The center of this destructive earthquake was in the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of 32 kilometers below sea level, so it caused a powerful tsunami. It took only 10 minutes for a huge wave to reach the largest island of Honshu in the archipelago. Many Japanese coastal cities were simply washed away from the face of the Earth.
But the worst thing happened the next day - March 12. In the morning, at 6:36 a.m., the first reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant exploded. The radiation leak has begun. Already on that day, at the epicenter of the explosion, the maximum permissible level of pollution was exceeded 100,000 times.
The next day, the second block explodes. Biologists and radiologists are sure that after such huge leaks, almost the entire globe should be infected. After all, already on March 19 - just a week after the first explosion - the first wave of radiation reached the shores of the United States. And according to forecasts, the radiation clouds should have then moved on ...
However, this did not happen. Many at that moment believed that a catastrophe on a global scale was avoided only thanks to the intervention of some kind of inhuman, or rather, extraterrestrial, forces.
This version sounds like fantasy, like a fairy tale. But if we trace the number of anomalous phenomena that the inhabitants of Japan observed in those days, we can draw a striking conclusion: the number of UFOs seen was more than in the last six months around the world! Hundreds of Japanese photographed and filmed unidentified glowing objects in the sky.
The researchers are absolutely sure that the radiation cloud, which is not unexpected for environmentalists, and contrary to weather forecasts, dissipated only due to the activity of these strange objects in the sky. And there were many such amazing situations.
In 2010, scientists experienced a real shock. They decided that the long-awaited answer had been received from the brothers in mind. The American spacecraft Voyager could become a liaison with the aliens. It was launched to Neptune on September 5, 1977. On board were both research equipment and a message for an extraterrestrial civilization. Scientists hoped that the probe would pass near the planet and then leave the solar system.
This carrier plate contained general information about human civilization in the form of simple drawings and audio recordings: greetings in fifty-five languages of the world, children's laughter, sounds of wildlife, classical music. At the same time, the current American president, Jimmy Carter, personally participated in the recording: he turned to extraterrestrial intelligence with a call for peace.
For more than thirty years, the device broadcast simple signals: evidence of the normal functioning of all systems. But in 2010, the Voyager signals changed, and now it was not the aliens who needed to decipher the information from the space traveler, but the creators of the probe themselves. First, communication with the probe was suddenly severed. Scientists decided that, after thirty-three years of continuous operation, the apparatus simply failed. But just a few hours later, Voyager came to life and began to broadcast very strange signals to Earth, much more complex than they were before. At the moment, the signals have not been deciphered.
Many scientists are sure that the anomalies that lurk in every corner of the universe are, in fact, just a sign that humanity is just beginning its long journey to understanding the world.
The process of development of modern science and its achievements make people believe more and more that science is able to explain everything on our planet and in the Universe. Many phenomena of our world have a scientific explanation, however, not all occurring phenomena can be explained by modern scientific theories.
For example, science does not yet give a definite answer to the question about the process of formation of the Universe. Science also fails to explain how religious beliefs are formed. If we take a jump into the world of the supernatural, we will see unusual phenomena that cannot be explained by modern science, since scientific methods are not suitable for measuring or studying such phenomena. Let's take a closer look at some hitherto inexplicable phenomena, and be aware that nature itself is a miracle, and that much remains a mystery.
1. Placebo effect
The placebo effect remains a medical mystery, confirming the role of consciousness in physical health and healing. It was found that patients who were confident in receiving the medicine could recover even if they received only a sugar pill. To study this phenomenon, experiments called "double-blind" (neither the patient nor the researcher knew about the real nature of the treatment) were carried out so that the expectations of doctors and patients could not influence the results.
Unfortunately, for many years the effectiveness and potency of the placebo effect has been considered unreliable by science. Perhaps this is due to the limitations of scientific methods. However, there are many cases of self-healing, which sometimes even surpass the effect of existing medical remedies for healing the physical body.
2. Sixth sense
Such five senses as sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell help a person to navigate well in the surrounding physical world. There is, however, a sixth sense, an inner power of perception known as intuition. The word "intuition" comes from the Latin word "intueri", which means "view from within". Intuition is the ability to know and understand without using logical reasoning or analysis, it is common to all people and depends on their power of perception.
Popularly speaking, intuition is something felt as "pre-knowledge" or "pre-feeling" of something one did not know before. According to a study published in GEO PRWeek/Burson-Marsteller in 2006, 62% of executives will make decisions in their business based on their intuition rather than non-thinking.
A 2007 study published in the journal Current Biology also found that participants in an experience should rely on their intuition when they need to give a quick answer. They are much more accurate at finding the same characters from similar 650 characters after two and a half seconds of looking at them.
The Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu said, "The power of intuitive understanding will protect you from evil for the rest of your life." Albert Einstein also said that "the most precious thing is intuition."
Where is the source of intuition, where does it come from? A study of the human brain has shown that the pineal gland is a possible answer to this riddle. René Descartes (1596-1650), the father of modern philosophy, called the pineal gland "the seat of consciousness." The ancient sages of the East also believed that intuition comes from the region of the pineal gland, and believed that it can manifest itself in the form of knowledge and ideas, enlightenment and the soul.
3. Experience near death
There are many reports of strange and varied experiences experienced by near-death survivors. For example, going through a brightly lit tunnel, meeting loved ones who have already passed away, and feeling calm and serene.
In 1976, the most famous case of "clinical death" of Dr. George Rodanay was noted, he is considered the most incredible. This experience transformed Dr. Rodonay from an atheist to an Eastern Orthodox priest. This case gives us the key to discovering the existence of another world beyond the human physical world.
Although many people have gone through similar experiences, science has been unable to explain the phenomenon of near-death experiences. Some scientists are trying to suggest that the experience of being on the verge of death can be explained by the result of hallucinations when the brain is damaged. But brain damage is not the only reason, there is no specific scientific theory to explain why these people can experience these sensations or explain these life changes.
4.Unidentified flying objects (UFOs)
The name unidentified flying object was coined in 1952 by the US Air Force to identify objects that could not be identified by experts after discovery. In popular literature, the word UFO usually refers to a spacecraft controlled by aliens.
The first UFOs were seen and recorded in China during the Song Dynasty. In the tenth century, the scholar and warlord Shen Kuo (1031-1095) wrote in his book Records of Talks in Menxi in 1088 about a pearl-shaped flying object that moved at incredible speed, emitting a blinding light.
Kenneth Arnold, an American businessman, reported that in 1947 he saw nine brightly luminous objects near the Cascade Mountains. Arnold described the saucer-shaped object as a "frying pan". His story was extremely interested in the media and aroused great interest of the general public.
Since then, the number of UFOs has increased exponentially. The UFO phenomenon has been studied by both government and independent researchers around the world.
Dr. Josef Hynek (1910-1986) studied UFOs while working for the US Air Force. Hynek was initially extremely critical, but after studying hundreds of UFO reports over the past thirty years, his point of view has changed.
In the last years of his career, Hynek publicly expressed his disappointment that the vast majority of scientists consider the UFO phenomenon inexplicable, unwilling to admit it and showing inflexibility of mind.
5. Deja vu
The phenomenon of "déjà vu" [from fr. - already seen] this feeling of something strangely familiar, something that has already happened in a certain place or an event that has already been experienced. People may feel very strange when faced with this, as if it has already happened, but they realize that they are facing this situation for the first time. Research in the field of neurophysiology is trying to explain such experiences as a memory anomaly, a brain disease, or a side effect of certain drugs.
In 2008, psychologist Ann Clary (see http://cdp.sagepub.com/content/17/5/353.full) explored the feeling of déjà vu in terms of "recognition memory". Alternative explanations combine the phenomenon of deja vu with the ability to prophesy, to remember past lives, to clairvoyance, or as a harbinger of the end of predestination. Whatever the explanation, déjà vu is certainly a universal phenomenon in the human world, whose underlying cause is still a mystery.
Today, places like Whaley's cursed Villa in San Diego have become a tourist attraction, and ghost stories are no longer uncommon.
Popular culture is full of films about ghosts, and mainstream science is retracted from clear explanations of these phenomena. Only researchers outside the scientific community make efforts to determine the significance of such life experiences.
The existence of ghosts is deeply rooted in the notion of having other spaces outside of our physical world and the survival of the soul after death. Researchers of this phenomenon harbor the hope that one day this mystery will be revealed.
7. Unexplained disappearances
There are many strange cases when people disappeared without a trace.
For example, in 1937, pilot Amelia Earhart and navigator Frederick Noonan disappeared along with their Lockheed plane. They approached Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean, where the Coast Guard ship Itasca received word that they had run out of fuel. But, due to communication being difficult, the Itasca was unable to determine Lockheed's location.
Soon Earhart and Noonan sent word that they had half an hour of fuel left and no land in sight. Then the connection was lost. They were unable to splash down, and after many years of searching, their traces in the ocean were not found.
In such cases, despite the considerable efforts of various organizations and the use of the best modern scientific methods, it is impossible to find concrete answers about what happened to these mysteriously disappeared people.
8 Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle, the space in the Atlantic Ocean between Bermuda, Miami and San Juan in Puerto Rico where ships and planes keep disappearing, is one of the biggest mysteries on a global scale.
Survivors point to the lag of navigational instruments, changes in their functioning, talk of luminous balls in the sky, sudden and unreasonable changes in the weather and the inexplicable appearance of a wall of fog. Frank Flynn in 1956 described it as an "unknown mass" that stalled engine power as his ship entered it.
On December 4, 1970, Bruce Gernon Jr. met with a special kind of fog that surrounded his plane and turned into something supernatural. For years, scientists have tried to debunk the myth of the Bermuda Triangle. But those who directly experienced these strange experiences testify and strongly insist that there are things that happened at sea and in the sky over the Bermuda Triangle that are beyond the limits of logical understanding.
9. Bigfoot or Yeti
Bigfoot is one of the most legendary creatures studied by cryptozoologists. Bigfoot or Bigfoot, as it is called on the Pacific coast of North America, is also known as Yeti in the Himalaya region of Nepal and Tibet or Yovi in Australia.
In 1951, mountaineer Eric Shipton photographed a giant footprint in the Himalayas. The photo that surprised the world made the Bigfoot story popular. In 1967, footage taken by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin that they claimed was Bigfoot was the subject of numerous attempts to debunk it on the one hand and confirm it on the other.
Anthropologist Grover Krantz studied Patterson and Gimlin's film and concluded that the images are genuine and belong to a very large, unknown bipedal creature. Due to the lack of physical evidence of Bigfoot, mainstream science does not recognize evidence of his existence. However, the myth is supported by various reports of sightings around the world.
10. Hum
The persistent low frequency hum phenomenon has been reported in many places around the world, especially in the US, UK and Northern Europe. The sound that only certain people hear is known as "Hum", which refers to the names of the places where it is heard: Hum Taos (New Mexico, USA), Hum Kokomo (Indiana, USA), Hum Bristol (England) and Hum Large (Scotland).
Those who can perceive this sound often describe it as the hum of a diesel engine idling in the distance. It brings some people into a state of extreme excitement, which negatively affects health.
Government agencies around the world have studied the sources of this noise. In the US, the first studies began in the 1960s. In 2003, the UK Department of Food, Environment and Rural Affairs published a report analyzing low frequency hum and its impact on victims. However, results from studies of noise source locations are very inconclusive and the phenomenon remains a mystery.
