Unexplained natural phenomena: what are they? Mysterious cases that defy scientific explanation.


A lot of strange, mysterious and inexplicable things are happening in the vast expanses of Russia, but there is nothing to worry about. On 1/6 of the earth's landmass there is enough space for everyone: aliens, ghosts, prehistoric animals, psychics and supernatural monsters, unlike anything else in the world))

1. Meeting of astronauts with a UFO. The pioneers of space exploration had a hard time: the technologies of the beginning of the space age of mankind left much to be desired, so emergency situations arose quite often, like the one that Alexey Leonov encountered when he almost ended up in outer space. But some of the surprises that awaited space pioneers in orbit were not related to the equipment at all. Many Soviet cosmonauts who returned from orbit spoke about unidentified flying objects that appeared near earthly spacecraft, and scientists still cannot explain this phenomenon.


Twice Hero of the Soviet Union, cosmonaut Vladimir Kovalyonok said that during his stay at the Salyut-6 station in 1981, he observed a bright luminous object the size of a finger rapidly encircling the Earth in orbit. Kovalenok called the crew commander, Viktor Savinykh, and he, seeing the unusual phenomenon, immediately went to get a camera.

V.Kovalenok

At this time, the “finger” flashed and split into two objects connected to each other, and then disappeared. It was never possible to photograph it, but the crew immediately reported the phenomenon to Earth. Sightings of unknown objects were also repeatedly reported by participants in Mir station missions, as well as employees of the Baikonur Cosmodrome - UFOs appear quite often in its vicinity.


2. Chelyabinsk meteorite. On February 15 of this year, residents of Chelyabinsk and surrounding settlements observed an extraordinary phenomenon: a celestial body entered the Earth’s atmosphere, the brightness of the glow when falling was 30 times greater than the Sun. As it turned out later, it was a meteorite, although various versions of the phenomenon have been put forward, including the use of secret weapons or the machinations of aliens (many still do not exclude this possibility). Exploding in the air, the meteorite split into many parts, the largest of which fell into Lake Chebarkul near Chelyabinsk, and the remaining fragments scattered over a wide area, including some regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. According to NASA, this is the largest space object to fall to Earth since the Tunguska bolide. The “guest” from space caused quite significant damage to the city: the blast wave broke the glass in many buildings, and about 1,600 people received injuries of varying severity. The series of “space” adventures for Chelyabinsk residents did not end there: a few weeks after the meteorite fell, on the night of March 20, a huge luminous ball hovered in the sky above the city. It was observed by many townspeople, but there is no exact explanation yet of where the “second Sun” suddenly appeared, especially at night. However, some believe that the ball arose due to the reflection of city lights on specifically located ice crystals in the atmosphere - that night Chelyabinsk was covered with thick cold fog.

3. Sakhalin monster. The remains of an unknown creature were found by Russian army personnel on the coast of Sakhalin Island in September 2006. In terms of the structure of the skull, the monster is somewhat reminiscent of a crocodile, but the rest of the skeleton is completely unlike any reptile known to science. It also cannot be classified as a fish, and the local residents to whom the soldiers showed the find could not identify it as any creature living in these waters. Remains of animal tissue were preserved, and judging by them, it was covered with wool. The corpse was quickly taken over by representatives of the special services, and its further study took place “behind closed doors.” Now most experts are inclined to believe that these were the remains of some kind of cetacean, according to some versions - a killer whale or a beluga whale, but others object that the creature differs in its skeleton from both of them. An alternative to the “accepted” point of view is that the remains belonged to a prehistoric animal, which were probably still preserved in the depths of the World Ocean.


K. Makovsky. Mermaids. 1879

4. Farewell to the mermaid. Mermaids are one of the main characters of Russian folklore. According to legend, these spirits living in reservoirs are born as a result of the painful death of women and children, and rumor says that meeting a mermaid does not bode well: they often seduce men, luring them into the abyss of a lake or swamp, steal children, They scare animals and generally behave in a manner that is not very decent. According to tradition, in order for the year to be successful and fertile, villagers brought various gifts to the mermaids, sang songs about them and held dances in honor of these restless souls. Of course, now such beliefs are not nearly as widespread as in the old days, but in some parts of Russia rituals associated with mermaids are still held. The most significant of them is considered the so-called Rusal Week or Farewell to the Mermaid - the week preceding Trinity (50th day after Easter). The main part of the ritual is the making and destruction of a stuffed mermaid, accompanied by fun, music and dancing. During Rusal Week, women do not wash their hair to protect themselves from perfume, and men carry garlic and walnuts with them for the same purpose. Of course, at this time it is strictly forbidden to go into the water - so as not to be dragged away by some bored mermaid.


5. Russian Roswell. The military missile range near the village of Kapustin Yar in the north-west of the Astrakhan region is often found in reports of the most strange and inexplicable incidents. Various UFOs and other curious phenomena are observed here with amazing regularity. Because of the most notorious case of this kind, Kapustin Yar received the nickname Russian Roswell by analogy with the city in the American state of New Mexico, where, according to some assumptions, an alien ship crashed in 1947. Almost a year after the Roswell incident, on June 19, 1948, a silvery object shaped like a cigar appeared in the sky above Kapustin Yar. On alert, three MiG interceptors were scrambled into the air, and one of them managed to shoot down a UFO. “Cigar” immediately fired a certain beam at the fighter, and it crashed to the ground; unfortunately, the pilot did not have time to eject. A silvery object also fell in the vicinity of Kapustin Yar, and was immediately transported to the test site bunker. Of course, many have repeatedly questioned this information, but some documents of the State Security Committee, declassified in 1991, indicate that the military more than once saw something above Kapustin Yar that does not yet fit into the framework of modern science.


6. Ninel Kulagina. During the Second World War, then Nina Sergeevna Kulagina served as a radio operator in a tank and participated in the defense of the Northern capital. As a result of her injury, she was discharged, and after the blockade of Leningrad was lifted, she got married and gave birth to a child. In the early 1960s, she became famous throughout the Soviet Union as Ninel Kulagina, a psychic and owner of other paranormal abilities. She could heal people with the power of her thoughts, determine color by touching her fingers, see through fabric what was in people's pockets, move objects at a distance, and much more. Her gift was often studied and tested by specialists from various institutions, including secret scientific institutes, and many testified that Ninel was either an extremely clever charlatan or actually possessed anomalous skills. There is no convincing evidence of the first, although some of the former employees of Soviet research institutes claim that when demonstrating “supernatural” abilities, Kulagina used various tricks and sleight of hand, which was known to the KGB experts investigating her activities. Until her death in 1990, Ninel Kulagina was considered one of the most powerful psychics of the 20th century, and the inexplicable phenomena associated with her were called the “K-phenomenon.”

7. Dragon from Brosno. Lake Brosno, located in the Tver region, is the deepest freshwater lake in Europe, but it is known throughout the world mainly because of the mysterious creature that local residents believe lives in it. According to numerous (but not yet documented) stories, an animal about five meters long, resembling something like a dragon, has been seen in the lake more than once, although almost all observers describe it differently. One of the local legends says that a long time ago, the Tatar-Mongol warriors who made a halt on the shore of the lake were eaten by the “dragon from Brosno”. According to another story, in the middle of Brosno one day an “island” suddenly appeared, which disappeared after some time - it is assumed that it was the back of a huge unknown beast. Although there is no reliable information about the monster supposedly living in the lake, many agree that some strange things do sometimes happen in Brosno and its environs.


8. Space Defense Troops. Russia has always sought to protect itself from all possible external (and internal) threats, and more recently, the defensive interests of our Motherland include the security of its space borders. To repel an attack from space, the Space Forces were created in 2001, and in 2011, the Space Defense Forces (SDF) were formed on their basis. The tasks of this type of troops include mainly organizing missile defense and controlling the military satellites that coordinate it, although the command is also considering the possibility of aggression from alien races. True, at the beginning of October of this year, answering the question whether the East Kazakhstan region is ready for an alien attack, Sergei Berezhnoy, assistant to the head of the Main Test Space Center named after German Titov, said: “Unfortunately, we are not yet ready to fight extraterrestrial civilizations.” . Let's hope the aliens don't know about this.


9. Ghosts of the Kremlin. There are few places in our country that can compare with the Moscow Kremlin in terms of mystery and the number of stories about ghosts that are found there. For several centuries it has served as the main citadel of Russian statehood, and, according to legend, the restless souls of the victims of the struggle for it (and with it) still roam the Kremlin corridors and dungeons. Some say that in the Bell Tower of Ivan the Great you can sometimes hear the crying and lamentations of Ivan the Terrible, atoning for his sins. Others mention that they saw the spirit of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in the Kremlin, three months before his death, when the leader of the world proletariat was seriously ill and no longer left his residence in Gorki. But the most famous ghost of the Kremlin is, of course, the spirit of Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, who appears whenever the country is in for a shock. The ghost smells cold, and sometimes he seems to be trying to say something, perhaps warning the leadership of the state against mistakes.

Security guards often say that at night on the territory of the Kremlin they see many scary creatures, the outlines of animals and people. A very interesting place among the secrets of the Kremlin is occupied by magical symbols that unexpectedly appear on the walls by themselves. They were repeatedly tried to capture them with a camera, but when the film was developed, it turned out to be either overexposed, or instead of symbols, blots were displayed on the wall.


Some strange oddities are also happening on the territory of the Kremlin churches. The security of the Archangel Cathedral always tells that every night sobs are heard here, someone’s unfamiliar voices are heard, someone reads funeral prayers, and someone laughs hysterically, everything suddenly stops after a sudden flash of a very bright light. Who makes these sounds remains a mystery.

10. Black bird of Chernobyl. A few days before the infamous accident of the fourth power unit of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, four plant employees reported seeing something that looked like a huge dark man with wings and glowing red eyes. Most of all, this description is reminiscent of the so-called Mothman, a mysterious creature that allegedly appeared repeatedly in the city of Point Pleasant in the American state of West Virginia. The Chernobyl plant workers who met the fantastic monster claimed that after the meeting they received several threatening calls and almost everyone began to have vivid, incredibly scary nightmares. On April 26, the nightmare happened not in the dreams of the employees, but at the station itself, and the amazing stories were forgotten, but only for a short time: while they were putting out the fire that raged after the explosion, survivors of the flames said that they clearly saw a 6-meter black bird that flew out from the clouds of radioactive smoke pouring out of the destroyed fourth block.


11. A well in hell. In 1984, Soviet geologists launched an ambitious project to drill an ultra-deep well on the Kola Peninsula. The main goal was to satisfy scientific research curiosity and test the fundamental possibility of such deep penetration into the thickness of the planet. According to legend, when the drill reached a depth of about 12 km, the instruments recorded strange sounds coming from the depths and most of all resembling screams and moans. In addition, at great depths, voids were discovered, the temperature in which reached 1100 °C. Some even reported a demon flying out of the well. All this gave rise to rumors that Soviet scientists had drilled a “well to hell,” but many of the “evidences” do not stand up to scientific criticism: for example, it is documented that the temperature at the lowest point that the drill reached was 220 °C. Perhaps, David Mironovich Guberman, one of the authors and managers of the Kola superdeep well project, spoke best about the “well”: “When they ask me about this mysterious story, I don’t know what to answer. On the one hand, stories about the “demon” are bullshit. On the other hand, as an honest scientist, I cannot say that I know what exactly happened here. Indeed, a very strange noise was recorded, then there was an explosion... A few days later, nothing similar was found at the same depth.”


12. There are so many incredible rumors and mystical stories about the Moscow metro that astrologers decided to explore it. According to Italian experts in occult sciences, there is an interesting connection between the number of stations that are located on the Circle Line and the signs of the Zodiac. As you know, there are a total of 12 stations on the ring line, and the layout itself is very reminiscent of some kind of solar model. In addition, the number of stations is equal to the number of apostles who accompanied Jesus Christ. The fact that Moscow is an ancient city is beyond doubt; its very development exactly corresponds to the principle “as in heaven, so on earth.”

Aries is the very first sign of the Zodiac; in the Moscow metro map it corresponds to the Kurskaya station, its location in the eastern part of Moscow. This sign is responsible for military affairs and the business sphere. In the area through which the Izmailovskaya line passes, there is one of Moscow's physical education universities, there are many factories, military institutions, and the famous Lefortovo prison. Even the street names correspond exactly to this zodiac sign. For example, Soldatskaya Street.


In the opposite part of the capital, where Kutuzovsky Avenue is located, Fili, there are no industrial enterprises, but there are many institutions that are responsible for partnership and peacekeeping. One of the most important departments in this regard is the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The most interesting thing is that this area of ​​Moscow is patronized by the constellation Libra. They are ruled by Chiron. The sign of Libra is characterized by duality.

13.Why was the Rossiya Hotel demolished? In the center of Moscow, an inexplicable noise was recorded back in the 80s. Guests of the Rossiya Hotel often heard it. Hereditary sorceress Alena Orlova claims that from birth she received the gift of feeling the energy of the Earth, for this she does not need any instruments or sensors. Her body itself, the woman assures, gives precise signals of where exactly the site of a possible natural disaster is located. Alena claims that the complete destruction of the Rossiya Hotel was a completely logical outcome for a building built on the site of a demolished temple complex. The rumble of the Earth seemed to warn - this building is doomed. According to Orlova, at this historical site, charged for centuries with positive positive energy, an abscess appeared called the Rossiya Hotel, which immediately received a minus sign; opposite currents began to emanate from the Earth, aimed at destroying the enemy. The largest hotel in the Soviet Union has always enjoyed a bad reputation among Muscovites. The terrible fire of 1977, which killed 52 people and injured two hundred guests, was just one of the unexplained incidents at the Rossiya Hotel. Contract killings, sudden collapses of supporting structures, almost complete destruction of infrastructure - all these are links in one chain.


14.In the city of Shakhtersk on Sakhalin, in a small church the icon was again filled with myrrh. This time it is the icon of the “Sign of the Mother of God”. Many city residents are seriously concerned, as they are sure that the icon is thus warning them of upcoming troubles. The temple in Shakhtersk appeared not so long ago, but is famous for the fact that at different times twelve icons already streamed myrrh in it. And according to the beliefs of the Orthodox, this is a very significant phenomenon. As physicist Nikita Solovyov noted, the reasons for this phenomenon are still unknown to science. All hypotheses put forward were not confirmed. Science is not yet able to explain why icons “cry.”

15.Devil's Cemetery is a round bare clearing 250 m in diameter. It is located in the middle of the taiga, 100 km from the confluence of the Kova River with the Angara. It is noteworthy that there is no vegetation at all in the clearing, and the trees surrounding it are charred, as if a fire was raging here. According to one version, it was here, and not in the Podkamennaya Tunguska area, that the Tunguska meteorite fell. In the 20s and 30s of the last century, cattle often wandered into the clearing. And he died. Local residents had to pull it out with hooks, because they were afraid to enter the clearing themselves. The meat of the dead cattle was abnormally red. It is believed that people also died here - before the Great Patriotic War, several hundred people died near the clearing or on it. Walking there is not recommended. To put it mildly.

Ghost stories are frightening because they speak of the unknown. Historical stories are interesting because they tell about events that actually happened. The golden mean between them is those natural phenomena that we have yet to understand.

Although we are constantly expanding our knowledge of the world around us, we often encounter natural wonders that we cannot explain, and we plunge into the realm of speculation and fantasy. Here are ten of the strangest natural phenomena: from jelly falling from the sky and inexplicable explosions that fell forest for hundreds of kilometers in the area, to apocalyptically bloody skies.

10. Star jelly

Rain, snow, sleet, hail. This is practically everything that can fall on us from the sky. However, although we can predict precipitation fairly accurately, there is something that falls from the air that we know absolutely nothing about: star jelly.

Star jelly is a translucent, gelatinous material often found in grass or trees that evaporates shortly after it appears. There are many reports of this substance falling from the sky. This has led to myths that it comes from falling stars, alien excrement - or even secret government drones. The first mention of a strange substance dates back to the 14th century, when doctors began to use star jelly to treat abscesses.

Of course, scientists tried to study this strange element to establish its origin. Some of them decided that these were frog eggs that had expanded under the influence of water. The problem with this idea is that the jelly has been shown to contain no plant or animal DNA, which only adds to the long list of puzzling questions.

9. Morning Glory

Clouds are like pillows, but they are not soft or fluffy at all. They are made of evaporated water and would presumably not be as pleasant to fall on as the aforementioned cushions. Because they are made of water, we can understand the laws of their formation and movement and use this data to predict the weather.

Morning glory are long clouds in the form of tubes that spread rather ominously across the sky. Reaching a length of more than 965 kilometers, these clouds are most often observed in Australia during the off-season. The natives living in this area explain that such clouds are a sign predicting an increase in the bird population.

Unlike the natives, we know much less about these clouds. Some climate scientists say the clouds form due to a unique combination of sea breezes and changes in humidity, but so far no computer models have been able to accurately predict this strange weather phenomenon.

8. City in the sky

No, this is not a picture from a comic book or a sketch of the religious ideas of the ancient world. This is reality. On April 21, 2017, in Jiayang, China, many citizens were amazed by the sight of the city floating on a cloud above them. Many witnesses took photographs of this phenomenon and posted them on the Internet, many were simply extremely worried - although there was nothing to worry too much about, since this had happened before.

Exactly the same floating cities were recorded in five different places in China just six years before this event. Such a number of identical events has prompted theorists to put forward many different hypotheses: an attempt by aliens to cross the borders of another dimension, the second coming of Christ, or experiments with holography by the Chinese government, and possibly the US government.

But we need facts. There is a possible explanation: there is a rare meteorological phenomenon called Fata Morgana, when, as a result of the reflection and refraction of rays, real-life objects (including those located far beyond the horizon) produce several distorted images on or above the horizon, partially overlapping each other and rapidly changing over time. This would be an acceptable explanation if the images in the sky were no different from those on the ground.

7. Tabby Star

The universe is incredibly vast, and there are billions of galaxies that our descendants will one day discover. But if you want to find mysterious wonders, then you should not forget about our native Milky Way. Enter in the search engine: Tabby Star.

The star KIC 8462852, named Tabby's Star after its discoverer Tabetha Boyajian, is one of more than 150,000 stars visible with the Kepler Space Telescope. What makes the Tabby Star unique is how frequently and radically its brightness changes.

All stars usually experience dips in the brightness of their glow, this is due to the fact that they are partially obscured by passing planets. Tabby's Star is considered unusual because its brightness drops by up to 20 percent at a time, significantly greater than the brightness fluctuations of all other stars.

There could be various explanations for this: from a large cluster of passing planets (which is very unlikely) and large accumulations of dust and debris (not normal for a star of Tubby's age), to aliens (and this is the most interesting part).

One leading theory is that an alien civilization is using huge machines orbiting the star to harvest energy. Although this may seem unusual, it is much more interesting than cosmic dust.

6. Rains of cats, dogs... and spiders...

Almost every person in our world loves either dogs or cats. These two options cover all of humanity. While almost everyone loves animals, some love them to the point where they wish they would literally fall from the sky. If this sounds like you, then you may need to seek professional help. But before you do, we have some good news for you.

Although this cannot be considered a widespread weather phenomenon, it still happens that animals that cannot fly fall from the sky. Although they are not necessarily dogs or cats, there have been many recorded cases of various animals "raining" from the sky. Examples include frogs, tadpoles, spiders, fish, eels, snakes and worms (not a pretty picture overall).

The leading theory is that these animals were lifted into the sky by waterspouts or tornadoes passing over their natural habitat. Unfortunately, this has never been witnessed or recorded by scientists.

If this theory turns out to be true, it still does not explain a similar incident that occurred in 1876, when raw meat rained down on Kentucky from a clear sky.

5. Bloody Sky

Quick question: what are the signs of the coming apocalypse? Perhaps you will name famine, war or plague. Perhaps you will name the name of a newly elected (but dearly disliked) politician. While all of these answers are perfectly acceptable, let's consider another: the sky turns blood red for a few seconds and then quickly returns to its normal color.

This is exactly what the residents of Chalchuapa, El Salvador, saw in April 2016. According to reports, the sky was crimson for a minute or so before returning to normal color with a slight pinkish tint. Many local evangelical Christians believed that the red flash was a sign of the coming apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

One explanation is that it was a side effect of the annual April meteor showers that often occur in this area. However, this is unlikely because there has never been such a bloody sky before.

There is a possibility that this was a reflection of the fires that occurred in some of the sugar cane fields. Instead of struggling to find the answer, just pick up the Bible or go to a bar, depending on your belief system.

4. The Great Attractor

The generally accepted version of the origin of the Universe is the theory of the Big Bang, after which about 14 billion years ago all matter began to fly away from the epicenter, which led to an ever-expanding Universe. Although this version is the most common, it is only one of many. But it does not explain such an anomaly as the Great Attractor.

In the 1970s, we first began to study this strange force that is located 150-250 million light years away and attracts the Milky Way and several other nearby galaxies. Due to the accumulation of Milky Way stars in this direction, we cannot see what attracts galaxies to itself, so this anomaly was simply dubbed the “Great Attractor”.

In 2016, a team of international scientists was finally able to peer through the Milky Way using the Cesro Parkes radio telescope and discovered 883 galaxies clustered in this region. While some believe that this is the final solution to the Great Attractor question, others believe that many of these galaxies were drawn to this location in the same way that we are now, and that the true cause of the phenomenon is still unknown.

3. Taos Rumble

We've all experienced ringing in the ears, which is most annoying because no one else can hear it except us. Therefore, when experiencing it for the first time, we may think that we are going crazy. But what if other people could hear it too?

The city of Taos in north-central New Mexico is known for its liberal arts community, as well as several celebrities who have lived there. But it is perhaps even more famous for its "Taos Hum" - a noise that is reported to be heard by 2 percent of the population, but which everyone describes differently.

The first reports about it appeared in the 1990s, they said that this hum was studied by the University of New Mexico. Although people insisted that they heard sounds, no equipment was able to record them. Various explanations are given for this noise: aliens, government experiments, natural background. But until we find a way to fix it, all assumptions are just guesswork.

2. Tunguska meteorite

During the Cold War, everyone was afraid of nuclear destruction. We knew the power of the atomic bomb not only from the test results, but also from the explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At that time, people really expected that fire would fall from the sky and the explosion would level the entire earth around them. But in 1908, probably no one expected this.

On June 30, 1908, near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in Siberia, a massive fireball exploded above the Earth at an altitude of about 6,000 meters. The explosion killed many animals and completely felled trees in the taiga several kilometers in diameter. All the inhabitants of the Vanavara trading post, located 64 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion, were knocked off their feet by the blast wave.

Most scientists believe the fireball was an asteroid or meteorite that exploded before it hit the ground due to atmospheric pressure, its composition, and a number of other factors. The biggest mystery is that the crater was never found, meaning there is no meteorite material to analyze. It is possible that the object was composed primarily of ice and therefore left no debris. But it is impossible to prove this.

1. Japanese Atlantis

Oddly enough, this is a rare case when the mystery was solved.

Atlantis is a mythical underwater city ruled by either Poseidon or Aquaman, depending on who you ask. Since the myth of Atlantis originated in Ancient Greece, many believe that its remains should be found somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea. But it is possible that they are located near Japan.

Large rock formations exist underwater near the Japanese island of Yonaguni. They resemble Egyptian or Aztec pyramids and have been underwater for about 2000 years. Originally discovered by a local diver in 1986, they look like natural terraces but have straight sides and precise angles.

Later, due to these features, the formations were recognized as the remains of an ancient city (about 5000 years old), which sank under water as a result of an earthquake. This theory is generally accepted, but not fully proven.

Unlike previous mysteries, this one has a pretty solid answer. We hope this will help us sleep a little better tonight.

Sometimes unimaginable things happen on planet Earth. People tend to be skeptical of everything mythical and supernatural. However, the mysteries of nature and others exist in real life. This is confirmed by indisputable facts, but it is not possible to explain the nature of their manifestation using known scientific knowledge.

8 wonders of nature

1. Woman made of ice

This phenomenon surpasses all others because it seems completely implausible compared to other mystical phenomena. In the state of Minnesota (Lengby), it was so cold that day that people tried not to leave their houses. The girl, Jean Hiliard, was later discovered. The young lady was 19 years old. She turned out to be completely frozen. It was impossible to bend her arms and legs, her skin became stone from the cold.

The doctors' surprise knew no bounds when they saw the girl's ice statue. This was just the beginning of supernatural phenomena. Doctors claimed that the girl's death was inevitable. And if she suddenly thawed, she would face amputation of all limbs and a serious, long-term illness. However, after a few hours, Jean regained consciousness, and there was no trace of the “freezing” left on her body. The ice on the cooled areas of the body seemed to dissolve.

2. Iron Column in Delhi, India

Incredible things happen with seemingly ordinary materials, for example, iron. It seems incredible that iron could have been made more than a thousand years ago. Meanwhile, in Delhi there is a structure that has served as a decoration for the city for more than one and a half thousand years. This is a column made of pure iron, the height of which reaches seven meters. There is not a trace of corrosion on it.

According to some researchers, at that time on Earth people did not yet possess such technologies. However, the artifact refutes this fact. It is necessarily present in descriptions of incredible phenomena. A photo can hardly reflect the grandeur and significance of this structure. Research results revealed that the structure consists of 98 percent iron. In ancient times, people did not have the opportunity to produce the material in such a pure form, since it was very difficult technologically.

3. Lost Ship

Mysteries of nature and other inexplicable phenomena are also often found in the ocean. An example is the story of the “Flying Dutchman,” which has not lost its popularity for several centuries. It cannot be said with certainty that all stories about mystical events are reliable. However, there are facts that are documented.

A mysterious and incredible incident occurred with the crew of the ship “K. A. Deering.” The ship was discovered in 21 of the last century. At first glance, it seemed that it had crashed, so a rescue party went there. The surprise and horror of the rescuers cannot be expressed in words. There was not a soul on board.

The officers who arrived at the scene also found no traces of a disaster or crash. The crew seemed to simply disappear without a trace. Personal belongings and the ship's log were missing, but the prepared food remained untouched. No one was able to explain what happened.

4. Hutchinson

The inexplicable and supernatural can be created unintentionally by man. For John Hutchison, Nikola Tesla was his model and idol. He tried in every possible way to reproduce all the scientist’s experiments. The results of the experiments always turned out to be incredible and unpredictable. Wood and metal became one, small objects disappeared during the experiments, but levitation exceeded all imaginable expectations. John also tried to float weightlessly in space. but was never able to achieve similar results. They were always different, on the basis of which he concluded that what was happening was non-linear and that some mystical phenomena were interfering. NASA participants tried to recreate Hutchinson's experiments, but were unable to achieve the desired goal.

5. Rain of Blood

Unexplained precipitation fell on residents of Washington (Oakville), USA. Instead of the usual raindrops, a jelly-like substance fell from the sky. After this, all residents showed symptoms of a cold.

White blood cells similar to those found in human blood were found in the above-mentioned jelly. In addition, the researchers found two types of bacteria in the composition that are responsible for the illnesses of residents. Scientists have never been able to explain what happened.

6. The Lost Lake

Mysteries of nature that scientists cannot explain excite the imagination. A lake in the southwest of America in Chile has been added to the list. The event occurred in 2007. A huge body of water 5 miles long disappeared without a trace. A few months before the incident, geological studies were carried out here, which did not reveal any deviations.

There were no warning signs of a cataclysm; the lake simply disappeared. According to ufologists, it’s all the fault of alien creatures who pumped out all the water from the reservoir and took it with them.

7. Surviving frog

Some mysterious artifacts are over a million years old. There is documentary evidence of a number of cases where amphibians, in particular frogs, were found in the depths of stone blocks. Even more incredible is the survival of the turtle, which was walled up in hardened concrete, after a year. How the creature managed to survive remains inexplicable. A safe and sound turtle was removed from a structure in Texas in 1976.

8. Lord of the water element

The boy who could summon water indoors was named Donnie Decker. This phenomenon is documented. First it happened at his friends house when he went into a trance state. Water drops began to flow from the ceiling, and the entire room was shrouded in fog.

A few years later the situation repeated itself in a restaurant. The owner of the establishment was angry and drove the teenager away. The third time Decker generated streams of water in his prison cell was when he was caught for disorderly conduct. The cellmates complained to the guards, but the culprit of the incident, without hesitation, showed his skills to the keepers of order. What happened to the guy after the end of his imprisonment is unknown. There is a version that he got a job as a cook.

Mysteries of nature and other unexplained phenomena exist in reality. Some people claim that they have met aliens, others are able to predict the future, others see through walls. There are even specialized institutions that help people develop supernatural talents.

Sometimes the most incredible things happen on our planet. We are somehow accustomed to fantastic and mystical stories, so we don’t always believe in miracles. Mysterious phenomena happen in reality. There is irrefutable evidence of this. Just look at the megalithic structures scattered all over the planet! No matter what theories scientists put forward, they cannot explain their origin. There are other artifacts that also do not fit into existing theories and paradigms. Let's talk about them.

Ice woman

This story can surpass any other mysterious phenomena in its incredible improbability.

It was in Langby, Minnesota. It was a cold frosty day. The temperature dropped so low that it was scary to go outside. It was at such a time that Jean Hiliard, a nineteen-year-old girl, was discovered. She was completely frozen. The limbs did not bend, the skin froze. She was sent to the hospital. The doctors were amazed. The girl was an ice statue. The mystical phenomena demonstrated by the young organism were just beginning. The doctors were sure that the girl would die. And if the situation developed in a positive direction, she was threatened with amputation of limbs and a long, serious illness. However, after a couple of hours, Jean came to her senses and thawed out. She had no consequences from the “freezing”. Even the frostbite disappeared.

Delhi: Iron Column

Mysterious phenomena can occur with the most ordinary, at first glance, materials. Well, who can you surprise with iron these days? What if I tell you that it was made more than one and a half thousand years ago?

Of course it's incredible. However, in Delhi there is a structure that already adorns the city. It is made of pure iron. This is a seven-meter high column. It is not subject to corrosion. Some experts believe that it could not have been made on earth in those days. Nevertheless, such an artifact exists. It must be indicated when describing the photo, unfortunately, does not reflect all the incredible majesty and significance of this structure. By the way, research has proven that the column is 98% iron. The ancient people were unable to obtain material of such purity. This is a complex technological process.

Carroll A. Dearing

Mystical phenomena often occur in the ocean. People have been talking about the “flying Dutchmen” for several centuries. Not all stories are true, of course. But there are also documented facts.

Thus, an interesting and mysterious fate befell the crew of the schooner named "Carroll A. Deering". It was discovered on the very last day of 1921. Since she gave the impression of a ship in distress, rescuers went to her. Their amazement, mixed with horror, is simply impossible to convey. There was not a single person on the schooner. But there were also no signs of distress or catastrophe. It looked as if the people had disappeared suddenly, without even realizing what had happened. They just evaporated. They took with them personal belongings and the ship's log, although they left the cooked food at the place. No explanation has been found for this fact.

Hutchison effect

A person creates some mysterious phenomena with his own hands, without having any idea how it happens.

So, John Hutchison was a great fan of Nikola Tesla. He tried to reproduce his experiments. The results were as unpredictable as they were incredible. He received a fusion of metal with wood, small objects disappeared during the experiment. The most significant of the effects was levitation. The scientist was even more puzzled by the fact that he could not repeat the result, that is, some mystical, nonlinear events took place. NASA specialists tried to repeat the experiments, but to no avail.

Sticky rain

There were even more incredible, mysterious phenomena on Earth. One of these can safely be considered the extraordinary rain that fell on the residents of Oakville (Washington). Instead of drops of water, they found jelly. The mysteries didn't end there. All the residents of the town fell ill. They developed cold symptoms. We decided to investigate the jelly. White bodies, which are part of human blood, were found in it. Scientists have not been able to figure out how this could happen. In addition, two types of bacteria were recognized in the jelly, which did not explain the symptoms of the illness of local residents. This phenomenon remains unsolved.

Vanishing Lake

Mysterious natural phenomena sometimes resemble the fiction of a science fiction writer. Neither mystics nor scientists can find an explanation for them. A lake in Chile threw up such a mystery in 2007. It was not a puddle with a loud name, but a fairly large body of water. It was five miles long! However, it disappeared without a trace! Two months earlier it was explored by geologists. No deviations were found. But there was no water. There were no earthquakes or other natural disasters, and the lake disappeared. Ufologists gave a more or less acceptable explanation for the event. According to their version, the aliens pumped him out and took him to their “unknown distances.”

Animals in stone

Some mysterious ones are millions of years old.

Thus, there are documented cases where frogs were found inside solid cobblestones. But we can still try to explain this. But the fact of the discovery of a turtle immured in concrete, where it lived for at least one year, is difficult to substantiate. This happened in Texas in 1976. The animal was alive and well. There were no cracks or holes in the concrete. However, this structure was poured a year ago. How and why the turtle existed in the air chamber all this time is not clear.

Donnie Decker

The existence of a boy who can generate water has been documented! His name was Donny. He could “make it rain” indoors. The first time this happened was when the boy was visiting. He went into a trance, causing water to pour from the ceiling and the entire room to be filled with fog. Another time this happened a few years later was when Donnie visited a restaurant. The owner was not impressed by the miracle and kicked the teenager out. But these two episodes could be called fiction. However, there was also a third case. It happened in prison, where Donnie ended up because the rain poured straight from the ceiling of his cell. Neighbors in the building began to complain. Donnie was not taken aback and once again demonstrated his abilities to the guards. It is unknown where he went after his release. They say he worked as a cook.

There are still many amazing things happening in the world. There are people who claim to have seen aliens. Others can sense the future. Still others see through walls. Schools dedicated to the development of superpowers in ordinary people have emerged and continue to exist. Probably, in order to “feel” this unknown, you need to believe in it. Then it will become clear that miracles exist! They are real!

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 airless space, inexplicable visions and mysterious objects are present in the reports of many astronauts. Next, the story will talk about something for which there are no clear explanations yet.

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 because before Gagarin’s flight, electronic music did not yet exist in our country, and it was precisely this melody that the first cosmonaut heard.

People who visited space later experienced similar sensations. For example, Vladislav Volkov spoke about strange sounds that literally surrounded him while in space.

“The earthly night was flying below. And suddenly from this night came... the barking of a dog. And then the crying of a child began to be clearly heard! And some voices. It is impossible to explain all this,” is how Volkov described the experience.

The sounds followed him almost the entire flight.

American astronaut Gordon Cooper said that while flying over the territory of Tibet, he was able to see houses and surrounding buildings with the naked eye.

Scientists have given the effect the name “magnification of ground objects,” but there is no scientific explanation for the possibility of viewing something from a distance of 300 kilometers.

A similar phenomenon was experienced by cosmonaut Vitaly Sevastyanov, who said that while flying over Sochi he was able to see his own two-story house, which caused controversy among optics specialists.

Candidate of technical and philosophical sciences, test cosmonaut Sergei Krichevsky first heard about inexplicable space visions and sounds from his colleague, who spent six months on the Mir orbital complex.

When Krichevsky was preparing for his first flight into space, a colleague told him that while in space a person can be subject to fantastic daydreams, which were observed by many astronauts.

Literally, the warning was as follows: “A person undergoes one or more transformations. Transformations at that moment seem to him to be a natural phenomenon, as if it should be so. All astronauts have different visions...

One thing is similar: those who have been in such a state identify a certain powerful flow of information coming from outside. None of the astronauts can call this a hallucination - the sensations are too real."

Later, Krichevsky called this phenomenon the “Solaris effect,” which was described by the author Stanislav Lemm, whose science fiction work “Solaris” quite accurately predicted inexplicable cosmic phenomena.

Although there is no clear scientific answer regarding the occurrence of such visions, some scientists believe that the occurrence of such inexplicable cases is due to exposure to microwave radiation.

In 2003, Yang Liwei, who became the first Chinese astronaut to travel into space, also witnessed the inexplicable.

He was on board the Shenzhou 5 when one night on October 16 he heard a strange sound outside, like a crash.

According to the astronaut, he had the feeling that someone was knocking on the wall of the spaceship in the same way as an iron ladle knocking on a tree. Liwei says that the sound did not come from outside, but also not from inside the spacecraft.

Liwei's stories have been called into question, since the propagation of any sound in a vacuum is impossible. But during Shenzhou's subsequent missions in space, two other Chinese astronauts heard the same knocking sound.

In 1969, American astronauts Tom Stafford, Gene Cernan and John Young were on the dark side of the Moon, quietly photographing craters. At that moment, they heard “an otherworldly, organized noise” coming from their headset.

“Cosmic Music” lasted for one hour. Scientists assumed 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 Kovalenok noticed something inexplicable in the window of the Salyut station.

"Many astronauts have seen phenomena that go beyond the experience of earthlings. For ten years I never spoke about such things. At that time we were over the area of ​​\u200b\u200bSouth Africa, moving towards the Indian Ocean. I was just doing some gymnastic exercises when I saw in front of me through the porthole was 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 outside it seemed as if it was rotating in the direction of flight. After this, there was a kind of explosion of golden light...

Then a second or two later 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 it for six and a half months. One day he was installing antennas 230 miles above the Earth when he witnessed the inexplicable.

"I saw lights that seemed to be lined up. I saw them flying and thought it looked really weird," he later said.

Cosmonaut Musa Manarov spent a total of 541 days in space, of which one in 1991 was memorable for him more than others. On the way to the Mir space station, he managed to film a cigar-shaped UFO.

The video recording lasts two minutes. The astronaut said that this object glowed at certain moments and moved in a spiral in space.

Dr. Story Musgrave has six degrees and is 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 was elastic because it had internal waves, and it followed us for quite a long period of time. The more you spend in space, the more incredible things you can see there.” .

Cosmonaut Vasily Tsibliev was tormented by visions in his sleep. While sleeping in this position, Tsibliev behaved extremely restlessly, he screamed, ground his teeth, and rushed 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’s commander.

Six cosmonauts aboard the ISS, waiting for the arrival of Soyuz-6, observed translucent figures 10 meters high that accompanied the station for 10 minutes, and then disappeared.

Nikolai Rukavishnikov observed flares in near-Earth space while flying on board the Soyuz-10 spacecraft.

While resting, he was in a darkened compartment with his eyes closed. Suddenly he saw flashes, which at first he took for signals from a flashing light board, shining through his eyelids.

However, the display burned with an even 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 the way to the Moon, I noticed a light in the ship's window that seemed to move with us. There were several explanations for this phenomenon, another ship from another country, or it was panels that came off when we removed from the rocket's landing module. But it wasn't all that."

“I feel absolutely convinced that we came face to face with something incomprehensible. I could not classify what it was. Technically, the definition can only be “unidentified.”

James McDivitt made the first manned flight on Gemini 4 on June 3, 1965 and recorded: “I looked out the window and saw a white spherical object against the black sky. It abruptly changed the direction of flight.”

McDivitt also managed to photograph a long metal cylinder. The Air Force command again resorted to a tried and tested technique, announcing that the pilot had confused what he saw with the Pegasus 2 satellite.

McDivitt replied: "I would like to report that during my flight I actually saw 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 Roscosmos 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 a launch vehicle accident, the ship's cabin was shot off from the rocket at an altitude of 195 km and rushed towards the Earth.

The astronauts experienced enormous overloads, during which they heard a “mechanical, robot-like” voice that asked if they wanted to live. They did not have the strength to answer, then a voice said: We will not let you die so that you can tell your people that you need to give up the conquest of space.

Having landed and climbed out of the capsule, the astronauts began to wait for rescuers. When night came, they lit a fire. Suddenly they heard a growing whistle and at the same time saw some luminous object in the sky, hovering right above them.

By the way, 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, no one knows what is happening to people. The physical condition is studied at the very least, 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 true."

Vladimir Vorobyov, Doctor of Medical Sciences and senior researcher at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences Center, 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 a hidden danger in this too. 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.”
