1. Millions of jellyfish disappear

Located on Eil Malk Island in Palau, Jellyfish Lake is a saltwater lake connected to the ocean through a network of cracks and tunnels. Millions of jellyfish migrate into the lake every day, but between 1998 and 2000, not a single jellyfish was found.

Every day millions of jellyfish migrate into the lake, but between 1998 and 2000, not a single jellyfish could be found there.

There are many hypotheses about the cause of this phenomenon, but scientists have yet to find a satisfactory answer.

2. Round tape

Ice circles, also known as ice discs or ice pans, are a very rare natural phenomenon that occurs when water moves slowly at freezing temperatures.

Scientists don't know exactly how these ice discs form, but they may form in eddies where thin sheets of ice rotate and gradually fuse together. The diameter of the rings can vary greatly from just a few feet to 50 feet (more than 15 meters).

3. Saturn storm

In 2013, a massive storm was discovered on Saturn's surface by a NASA spacecraft orbiting the planet. The eye of the storm was about 1,250 miles (2,000 km) in diameter, with a cloud-like speed of 530 km per hour.

On Earth, hurricanes are formed by warm air rising from the oceans, but there are no oceans on Saturn . Therefore, the cause of such a huge storm cannot be explained.

4. Animal Rain

There have been many strange cases of animals falling from the sky. In the summer of 2000, millions of fish, both dead and alive, rained down in Ethiopia, much to the dismay of the local population. Most of the “animal rains” are thought to be caused by cyclones or large storms that can suck water from rivers, and take with them large schools of fish.

However, this hypothesis still challenges the scientific community because most of these rains are only one type of animal such as anchovies, frogs or birds. It seems that this phenomenon is not caused by nature randomly.

5. Silent Land

The Bolson de Mapimi desert in Mexico is known as the land of silence, with many mysterious phenomena related to radio waves. In 1970, a US military base in Utah launched a test missile, but it immediately went off course and crashed into the desert.

It is said that the missile was contaminated with radiation. It is said that no radio, TV, shortwave, or satellite signals can penetrate this area . It is also said that many blond humanoid creatures have been seen in the area.

6. Volcanic light

Scientists have discovered that before a volcanic eruption, there are often warning flashes of light . The hypothesis is that the positively charged ash particles released to the outside were "charged" rapidly, causing the flash of light to shoot into the air.

7. Cat meow

Cats' meows are ranked among the most mysterious sounds the world has ever known . Science cannot figure out how they use this sound because cats often meow when they are being petted, when hungry as well as when scared, resting..., even when giving birth.

8. Whale Song

Like cats, humpback whale songs have been studied by researchers for many years, but it is only assumed that they sing to attract mates during breeding season.

9. Origin of the Universe

In the modern world, the Big Bang theory is a cosmological model that explains the birth of the universe from a singularity. It states that at a point in time about 14 billion years ago, space was compressed into a single point after which the universe expanded at the speed of light.

However, this theory does not provide any explanation for the period before the Big Bang, what existed in the beginning remains the most mysterious question today.

10. The stones move by themselves

Death Valley is a long, narrow valley in the eastern Mojave Desert of California. It is also the lowest, driest, and hottest region in North America. The most notable feature here is a large, dry lake with rocks (up to 320 kg) that can move on their own and leave long trails in the cracked ground.

Many hypotheses have been put forward to explain the movement of the stones, such as the influence of magnetic fields, whirlwinds, slippery algae layers, thin ice layers, or even the intervention of extraterrestrial beings.

However, the phenomenon of moving stones in the Death Valley area remains an unsolved mystery for many years.

11. The Death of the Turtle

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is still baffled by the phenomenon. Turtles in Keystone Heights suddenly died en masse in the sand at the end of Pinon Road.

Experts tried every hypothesis but concluded that psychological trauma was the main cause.

12. Billions of marine life

Billions of microorganisms known as " windward sailors " have washed up on the West Coast.

These blue sea creatures have washed up in huge numbers, billions of them. No one understands what happened and no one knows where they came from.

13. Red light

Two Russian pilots reported seeing a red glow below the Pacific Ocean . Five hours after taking off from Hong Kong (China) to Alaska, a light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Not long after, they saw another red-orange glow appear. No storms were detected in the area at the time.

14. Dead fish

In 2012, thousands of herrings covered a beach in northern Norway and then disappeared.

The fish disappeared before an official count was made. Estimates put the figure at 20 tons.

15. Green Rain

After a storm in England, tiny blue balls fell from the sky.

Witnesses said the spheres had an outer shell and a soft core. They were odorless, neither sticky nor molten.

16. Cloudy Panama City

On the same day as the rare 2012 Libyan snowstorm , a strange tidal wave of clouds engulfed the entire Panama City beach.

Many extreme hypotheses have been put forward but no one can explain this ghostly phenomenon.

17. Mysterious noise

In 2012, Costa Ricans were awakened by a strange sound coming from the sky in the early morning hours. Many people contacted local authorities to report the mysterious sound.

18. The rock filled with diamonds

A mysterious rock containing about 30,000 rough diamonds of various types was found in Russia.

Despite spending time researching, scientists still cannot explain the origin and cause of this super rare rock.

19. The "lost" beach

The entire sandbar at Porthleven (Cornwall, UK) mysteriously disappeared after an unusual tide.

However, after another high tide, almost all of the sand "returned".

20. Frangokastello Castle, Greece

Crete is known for the world’s only recorded time mirage. Every year, around the end of May, shadows of armed men on foot and horsemen appear as they walk from the monastery of Agios Charalambos to the fortress of Frangokastello. The phenomenon is observed early in the morning when the sea is calm and the humidity is high and lasts for about 10 minutes. The German forces occupying these lands were driven mad with fear and began shooting at the mirage.

21. Czech Catacombs, Czech Republic

Legend has it that the sounds of an organ come from the Czech catacombs. In 1996, scientists recorded them. The tunnel is 30 meters deep and there is no room around that could fit an instrument of that size. Psychologists also examined witnesses who were there to rule out the theory of mass hallucinations. However, the main phenomenon found was the “Shining corridor”. The specimen showed no phosphors in it. At first glance, the corridor looked quite normal, but soon it began to emit a reddish-orange light.

22. Stone Forest, China

Perhaps the greatest wonder of this Chinese country. The Stone Forest appeared more than 200 million years ago. Before this place was a sea, thick layers of limestone formed huge structures. Tectonic forces shaped the rock surface. In the depths of the forest, Qifeng Cave is a truly strange place: from August to November, every 30 minutes an underground river creates a vortex that lasts for just a few minutes and then quickly dissipates.

23. Dolmens (Roknia, Korea, China, India, Israel, Scandinavia, Russia)

Giant ancient stone slabs forming a “table” have been found in various places on our planet. Archaeologists consider them to be the tombs of ancient priests. Dolmens (a type of megalithic (large stone) tomb with only one chamber, usually consisting of at least three upright stones supporting a large, flat, horizontal stone slab) change the speed of clocks and cause other devices to malfunction.
