5/30/14: 7 OF THE BIGGEST MYSTERIES EVER!

We as humans want to feel that we understand everything about the world, but most of the time, we don't.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

There are still questions left unanswered, bizzare events that occur that leave us flabbergasted and befuddled, and mysteries that not even the smartest people in the world can solve.

These seven mysteries make us feel so dumb but so amazed with how truly complicated and incredible our planet is. 

Without further or do, here are some of the world's biggest mysteries. Try to figure them out.


 

The WOW Signal
This may have been our first encounter with extraterrestrial life, although we're still completely bewildered. On August 15, 1977, Jerry Ehman was listening to deep space radio waves at Ohio State University when he heard a loud and clear 72-second radio signal from the Sagittarius constellation, a part of space that no human has ever examined before. Ehman circled the signal and wrote "Wow!" on the printail, resulting in The WOW Signal. Ever since, many others have tried to locate the same signal, but failed. Was Ehman contacted by aliens? Is this a sign that life is out there and is trying to reach us?


 

South African Spheres 
South African miners have continued to discover strange metal spheres in the ground in the last several years. These 1-inch-in-diameter spheres are either found hollow or heavy in prehistoric rock that dates back more than 2 billion years ago. The Earth is only 4.5 billion years old, so it existed way before humans. How did they get there?



 
The Bermuda Triangle
Everyone's heard of this one. It's an imaginary triangle that is connected together from Florida to the North Atlantic island of Bermuda, down to Puerto Rico, and back to Florida. Although the US Navy and top geographers state the triangles unexistance, pop culture and the general public make it seem like a mysterious and deadly region, considering the high number of plane crashes and ship sinkings within the area. Some even believe it's a place where aliens lurk or the Devil makes contact with the surface, but who really knows?



 
The Voynich Manuscript
The Voynich Manuscript is a 240-page book dating back to the early 15th century in Northern Italy, and many believe it was written by aliens. This conspiracy was created considering there's an unknown language written inside with strange drawings of life forms that don't exist on our planet. Wilfrid Voynich acquired the manuscript in 1912, hence the name, but he seems to be the only name in our world that is recorded in history to these perplexing papers. Although someone just may have tried to make some sort of fantasy novel and lost the code to uncrack the made-up language. Who knows?


 

The Taos Hum 
In only a few areas in the world, a low-pitched hum can be heard, almost like the hum of a refrigerator (you can decide from the video). The first and most famous one takes place in Taos, New Mexico. With even high-technical electronic equipment failing to pinpoint the annoying noise, no one knows the source of The Taos Hum.



 
Death Valley Moving Rocks
In California's Death Valley National Park, some of the rocks in the completely flat and barren (giving the valley it's name) actually move. Yep, you heard correctly. They move slowly over a long period of time, but there has been no contact with them, and by the pathways they make, they literally do move across the land. Stumping scientists and some of NASA's finest, there is no explanation on the sliding stones.



 
The Georgia Guidestones
The Georgia Guidestones or "America's Stonehenge" is an all-granite monument built in 1979 in Elbert County, Georgia. Ten new commandments or "rules" are engraved in eight different langauges across the surface of the stone. No one knows who created it, but many think it may be a sign of a new world order.
