Added on: 5th Feb 2016

 

TETRANEUTRONS

Tetraneutrons

This hypothesized structure of four neutrons has been detected only

once in a French particle accelerator. If it were to exist then it has

been theorized to be the nucleus of the undiscovered “neutronium”

with an atomic number of 0.

 

 

ULTRA-HIGH ENERGY COSMIC RAYS

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

These cosmic rays have energies far above that of any other

detected rays. There has been no conclusive explanation put forth

for their existence.

 

 

WOW! SIGNAL

Wow! Signal

The Wow! signal was a strong narrowband signal detected by

Jerry Ehman on August 15, 1977 at SETI. It originated from

around the M55 cluster and had such a strong resemblance

to an artificial signal that Jerry circled it and wrote “Wow!”

in the margin. Astronomers have not been able to locate it again.

 

 

THE BLOOP

The Bloop

The Bloop was an ultra-low frequency underwater sound detected

at numerous listening stations around the Pacific Ocean.

Since its discovery there have been numerous theories including

a large undiscovered animal but the NOAA (U.S. National Oceanic

and Atmospheric Administration) attributed it to an iceberg

scraping the ocean floor.

 

 

VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT

Voynich Manuscript

The Voynich Manuscript is an illustrated codex that has never been

decoded or interpreted. Dated to the early 15th century, it is named

after Wilfred Voynich, the Polish book dealer who purchased it in 1912.

 

 

BABUSHKA LADY

Babushka Lady

Shortly after President Kennedy was assassinated people discovered

 an old lady with a camera that appeared in numerous films and

images of the tragic event. Because she was wearing a head scarf

she became famously known as the “babushka lady” (in Russian

a babushka is a grandma and Russian grandmothers were famous

for wearing such headscarves). Throughout the ordeal she seemed

to calmly continue taking pictures but she was never identified

and thus remains an unexplained discovery.

 

 

MARFA LIGHTS

Marfa Lights

Also known as the Marfa Ghost Lights, these are lights that have

been observed near US Route 67 east of Marfa, Texas. Their erratic

movements have solidified their presence in local folklore. Numerous

explanations have ranged from mirages to traffic.

 

 

THE MARY CELESTE

The Mary Celeste

The Mary Celeste was an American ship discovered off the Azores

sailing with nobody on board and one lifeboat missing. None of

the crew were ever seen again and there were no indications

as to why they had abandoned ship.
