The Most Bizarre Mysteries That Can’t Be Explained – Even By Science
There is something about unsolved mysteries that make them rather fascinating. It would be ridiculous to think we know everything in a world as vast as ours. Some incidents surpass human’s current knowledge and understanding of the universe, and that’s one of the reasons we keep exploring. Many of these cold cases in this article seem so close and personal that we worry it could happen to our families or us. Some are strangely mystical, indicating that something is always creeping in the shadows.
These unforgettable and bizarre crimes, disappearances, and unclear phenomena are often disturbing. Because there is no way to explain them, they stay with us for long after we are done reading.
Unknown Language or Code
The Voynich manuscript runs up to 240 pages and is scrawled on an animal’s skin. It is thought to have originated in Italy. Still, the language is not Italian, or any language we know of, that is. Some hypothesize that it’s scribbled in an actual language that has no record in today’s time. Others assume it is some form of a code, while many believe it is simply nonsense. The manuscript contains a few drawings of what seem to be people, plants, and astrological signs, indicating some to surmise that it was made as a medicinal manual.
A Polish book collector named Wilfrid Voynich bought the inscription in 1912, and few assume he forged the unusual document. Statements backing up the manuscript’s authenticity explain that the radiocarbon dating of the used animal hide makes it unlikely that the works are forged.
Lights Over Phoenix
Thousands of people in the U.S., namely in the states of Nevada and Arizona, and Sonora, a state in Mexico, claimed to see odd light formations painted across the night sky. Some witnesses explained them to be V-shaped or triangular with 5 symmetrical lights. It was March 13, 1997. Many others shared that they had seen nine lights hovering over the Phoenix. Later on, the U.S. Air Force associated the latter picture with light flares that fell during a nearby practice session at a base. However, no explanation was given regarding the triangular shapes.
A notable witness of those triangular-shaped lights was John Fife Symington III, the Arizonian governor at the time. Formerly an Air Force pilot, Symington said that the picture in the sky did not seem like anything man-made, and despite having links in higher departments, he could not receive a proper explanation.
Area 51
Widely regarded as a highly classified facility under the United States Air Force, Area 51’s original purpose was never fully shared with the public. The Air Force was obtained in 1955 and situated in the Nevada section of the Mojave Desert, a top-secret location known to be a training ground for the nation’s Air Force. Generally assumed to be a base made for developing and testing new aircraft and weapons, Area 51 is shrouded in a cloud of mystery.
As it turned out for the U.S. government, the more they struggled to hide information about it, the more people talked. There is a lot of hush-hush about the base, and conspiracy theorists love making new assumptions about it daily. In fact, some theories are even more interesting, claiming it houses alien life-forms.
Vanished in the Fire
Italian immigrants Jennie and George Sodder will forever remember the Christmas Eve of 1945. Their West Virginia house went up in flames. The couple was lucky enough to escape with four of their nine kids. The family initially thought five of their children asleep in the attic passed away in the fire. However, local police later said that their bones were never retrieved and that evidence found indicated that the fire was not caused by poor electrical wiring.
A disturbing yet prominent theory regarding the cause of the fire was that members of an Italian totalitarian group started it. George Sodder often criticized their activities, and many assumed that the children had been kidnapped before the house was set on fire.
