Unsolved Mysteries of the World

On November 10, 1985, a hunter was finishing up an unsuccessful day in Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire.Walking along a roadway he passed by a long forgotten store that had been burned down. He paused as he heard an excitement rise up from children who were playing in the area from a nearby from a trailer park. The children were rolling around a 55 gallon steel drum. The lid broke free and the children ran off screaming. Curious, the hunter approached the barrel and feeling that the drum had contents he proceeded to reach for the contents. Inside found a plastic garbage partially ripped open which showed the skeletal remains of an adult female and the partially skeletonized body of a young child.

The Hornet Spooklight is a mysterious light that appears in a small area known locally as the "Devil's Promenade" on the border between southwestern Missouri and northeastern Oklahoma west of the small town of Hornet, Missouri.Even though it is named after a small, unincorporated community in Missouri from which it is most commonly reached, the light is most commonly described as being visible from inside the Oklahoma border looking to the west. And as a result, the light goes by many names including The Hollis Light and Joplin Spook Light. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jim Marrs delves deep into the Aurora UFO incident in this documentary See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In 1897 at 6 am, a very strange incident occurred in a sleepy North Texas town called Aurora.A cigar-shaped UFO, metallic silver in color, appeared suddenly in the sky above the town. It was moving from south to north and unlike the balloon airships of its time, this UFO was built of “an unknown metal, resembling somewhat a mix of aluminum and silver.” A witness guessed that the ship weighed “several tons.”The sighting occurred during a time when many strange airships were being seen all over the United States. For this reason, the UFO is called an “airship” in a newspaper article written later by Aurora resident S. E. Haydon.Haydon told the Dallas Morning News that the strange craft seemed to be having some kind of mechanical problems. It slowed down to about ten or twelve miles per hour and began settling toward the ground.Haydon said the townspeople watched in amazement as the slow-moving airship drifted over the town square and then moved north toward the property of Judge J. S. Proctor.Next, the UFO collided with a windmill on the judge’s land and “went into pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground.” The crash destroyed the windmill, the adjacent water tank and the judge’s flower garden.the explosion and crash drew many spectators to Judge Proctor’s land. Among the wreckage, the townspeople found the dead body of the ship’s pilot. Then the story got really weird. Witnesses said that the pilot was not a human being.

There is gold in the Guadalupe Mountains of west Texas. There has been tiny gold nuggets and gold dust coming out of the Apache stronghold for years, but there is one mother lode that has alluded prospectors and treasure seekers ever since. The winding mountains, the twisted trails and the crooked streams are physical parallels to the story of a lost mine, filled with gold nuggets.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, the Lost Sublett Mine of Texas See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

During the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, each side developed and demanded more military might. The best deterrent for an all out war, they thought, was a strategic nuclear armament, so large, that each side would ultimately destroy each other, and the whole earth, some 300,000 times over if anyone made the first move. It was a time of high tension, of nuclear holocaust fear and duck and cover propaganda. To reach the Soviet Union, the United States placed 1000s of nuclear armaments in Northern Montana strategically placed near the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana. The country-side was literally dotted with Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile installations. Today, most of these have been decommissioned as part of armament treaties and partly due to age and lack of upgrading. There is, however, a significant amount of newer, more powerful, nuclear weapon silos on and near the base.On our last episode we discussed the Mariana UFO incident and we left you with a question why there has been and continues to be a high number of UFO sightings in Great Falls Montana. And I think by now you have already figured this one out.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season 3 Episode 14, The Minutemen Guardians.

At 11:25 am on August 15, 1950, Nick Mariana, the general manager of the Great Falls Electrics minor-league baseball team, and his nineteen-year-old secretary, Virginia Raunig, were inspecting the empty Legion Stadium baseball field before a game. The Electrics were a farm club of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Suddenly a bright flash caught Mariana's eye and, according to the report, they saw two bright silvery objects, rotating while flying over Great Falls, Montana at a speed he estimated to be two hundred to four hundred miles per hour. He believed that they were roughly fifty feet wide and one hundred and fifty feet apart. Mariana ran to his car to retrieve his 16 mm movie camera and filmed the UFOs for sixteen seconds. The camera could film the objects in color, but could not record sound. Raunig also witnessed the objects and describes the events in correlation with Mariana. The day after Mariana's sighting, the Great Falls Tribune, the city's daily newspaper, described his sighting and the film in an article, which was picked up by other media outlets around the nation. For several weeks after the sighting, Mariana showed his film to local community groups, including the Central Roundtable Athletic Club.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season 3 Episode 13, The Mariana UFO IncidentPlease remember to visit our show sponsor:Healing T&G Teahttps://www.experiencethis360.com/online-store See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bennington Vermont was a quiet, comfortable place to live without much incident or crime. Robberies, vandalism, murders and even petty crime were almost non-existent. Disappearances, however, mysterious disappearances, were more common. Each year between 1945 and 1950 someone had vanished under mysterious circumstances. Victims ranged from an eight year old boy to a 74 year old hunter. In 1947, however, the most famous disappearance occurred sparking the formation of the Vermont State Police. The disappearance would haunt the small town forever.This is Unsolved Mysterious of the World, Season 3 Episode 12 The disappearance of Paula Jean Welden and The Bennington Triangle.Remember to visit our show sponsor:www.experiencethis360.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

As an avid car enthusiast I am fascinated by stories about cars – from James Dean's cursed little bastard to the hauntingly frightening legend of the black Volga – stories about cars, and especially ones about curses, mysteries and ghosts has always fascinated me. From urban legends to actual sightings and encounters with ghost vehicles, driven by the dead, or even on their own, there is something especially creepy about them. Our possessions, especially ones that are as large as a vehicle should not take on a life of their own. But there are a lot of stories about haunted cars and ghostly sightings of such. It is a phenomenon, a mystery that is not only fascinating, but extremely prevalent in our culture. On this episode we will focus in on two particular events, all involving motor vehicles, and all involving ghostly activity.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, season three episode 11 Accidental Ghosts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

September 22, 1979, there was an incident in the South Atlantic, between South Africa and the Antarctic that today remains a mystery. The incident involves international politics, aeriel phenomenon, cold war satellites, Russian Spies, Secrets and Conspiracies. The incident was so alarming that it was investigated by multiple countries and yet, today, most of these countries remain in the dark about what really happened.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World Season Three Episode 9 Alert 747On the night of September 22, 1979, a U.S. Vela satellite, designed and used for spotting nuclear tests, detected a flash that the U.S. Intelligence Community located somewhere in the South Atlantic area. Using other satellites they pinpointed the region and immediately began a threat assessment operation.In 1963, the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty banned all test detonations of nuclear weapons on the ground, in the earth’s atmosphere, under water, and in outer space. Underground detonations were not banned, so any nation that wanted to conduct a test detonation was allowed to do that deep beneath the surface of the Earth. The Test Ban Treaty was a result of a growing worldwide anxiety over nuclear fallout, the clear devastating consequences of nuclear explosions. From 1951 to 1958, approximately 270 nuclear tests were conducted by the U.S., the Soviet Union, and Great Britain, and only 22 of those test were conducted underground.In the same year that the treaty was implemented, the U.S. launched two satellites as a part of the Vela program. Its purpose was to monitor the Earth’s atmosphere and search for signs of illegal nuclear activity. Aside from employing a vast array of sensors that could measure the amount of nuclear fallout in the atmosphere and detect detonations across the globe, the satellites were also equipped with powerful instruments that were used to study various extra-galactic phenomena. In fact, the Vela satellites are credited with the first discovery and measurement of a gamma-ray burst in outer space.On 22 September 1979, sometime around 3:00am local time, a US Atomic Energy Detection System satellite recorded a pattern of intense flashes in a remote portion of the Indian Ocean. Moments later an unusual, fast-moving ionospheric disturbance was detected by the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and at about the same time a distant, muffled thud was overheard by the US Navy’s undersea Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS). Evidently something violent and explosive had transpired in the ocean off the southern tip of Africa.Data suggested that the incident occurred near Bouvet Island, a frozen scrap of earth famous as the most isolated isle in the world. The tiny island was home to a Norwegian automated weather station, and in 1964 an abandoned lifeboat of unknown origin was found there, filled with supplies. But that is another mystery, saved for another podcast episode.The event was logged as Vela Alert 747 and the US military was put into high alert. The probability that a nuclear weapon had been detonated in the atmosphere was a treaty violation, and that's big, especially if it was Russia or a rogue Nation not willing to follow the rules outlined in the treaty.President Jimmy Carter was called to an emergency meeting while the U.S. Air Force dispatched a squadron of Boeing WC-135 planes, specially designed to detect airborne radioactive fallout, to the site.After flying for over 230.4 hours, none of the planes detected any radioactive material in the atmosphere. Visually, they could also see no operation going on either near Bouvet Island or on it. There were no foreign ships or planes in the vicinity. There was no evidence of any destruction. The Norwegian automated weather station remained intact and in working order.At first, the US believed that the Isrealis, who are proven to have nuclear weapons but still, to this day deny it, were responsible for breaking the treaty and conducting a nuclear test. They also believed they were working with South Africa, either providing them with Nuclear secrets or working together to produce bigger, better bombs.Jimmy Carter wrote in his diary that evening “There was indication of a nuclear explosion in the region of South Africa — either South Africa, Israel using a ship at sea, or nothing.”There was great cause for concern. The treaty was broken, and they believed it was done by what would seem – their allies. How would the world respond? How would the Soviet Union respond? Both Israel and South African officials denied having anything to do with the incident, and have pointed the finger at Russia, as the state that most likely broke the nuclear treaty. Russia, also, concerned about these new developments denied that they had anything to do with the incident. President Carter ordered his science advisor, Dr. Frank Press, to assemble a panel of outside experts to look at all the evidence. The panel was chaired by Dr. Jack Ruina, a former head of DARPA. The Ruina Panel issued its report in 1980 and in short, it found the deviances between the light flash recorded by Vela and light flashes from known nuclear detonations too significant, and it found the lack of corroborating data which must exist to be problematic.The Ruina Panel's conclusion was that the most likely explanation for the Vela Incident was a meteoroid strike on the satellite itself, where the meteor's initial entry into the field of view was responsible for the initial flash, and the spread of debris from the impact responsible for the second flash.During this time they learned the aging satellite’s electromagnetic pulse (EMP) detector had long ago failed, therefore it was unable to corroborate observations. Vela sister satellite hadn’t detected anything at all, though its working condition at that time was unknown. This frustrated the investigation because they could not accurately conclude what the actual incident was. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hollywood is filled with winners and losers. Actors and Actresses break into stardom and fall from it just as fast as movies break box office records or debut in empty theatres. Most of what Hollywood produces is a gamble and sometimes there is a winning streak and sometimes there is not. Some would blame the ill-fated to dumb luck, but others believe something more sinister or at the very least some sort of universal, cosmic law is at play. Break the law and you find yourself begging to be in an Andrew Dice flick.In Hollywood lore, there are some films, like we discussed last episode, that are believed to hold a curse. They sometimes are wildly successful, but have somehow seen tragedy befall their cast and crew. On this episode we will go over a few of the movies that are said to hold curses, and one that is so cursed that since the script was written, the movie has not even been made due to all the bad luck and tragedy.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World Season Three Episode 8 Cursed MoviesPlease visit our show sponsor:MYB CasinoUse this Link for a 200% Bonus:http://bit.ly/UNSOLVED_BETS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Ever since the invention of moving pictures, Hollywood has had to deal with productions that go south. No, not to Mexico. South, as in, horribly wrong, sometimes tragically. Someone then whispers the phrase that the production is cursed. And, just like saying someplace is haunted, and another person upon hearing that phrase, says the same thing, it starts to generate as truth. The dilapidated house on the corner near the woods is haunted.....and the production, that ran over budget, had electrical fires and had cast members die off in the middle of filming....is cursed.There are numerous films that are stigmatized as having a curse, but none so more famous as a film that sparked a trilogy, starting in 1982.This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season 3 Episode 7 The Poltergeist Curse.The Poltergeist Curse is perhaps the most famous of curses, because it not only implicated the cast and crew of one movie, but three and perhaps even the 2015 remake. So let us dive into the movie, learn some things about its production, the essence of the curse and its legend.Please visit our show sponsor:MYB CasinoUse this Link for a 200% Bonus:http://bit.ly/UNSOLVED_BETS See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
