20 unsolved mysteries of our time

There are so many puzzles in the world that over the years can not solve the brightest minds that you can not even imagine.

1. Taos Hum

2. The Bermuda Triangle

It is located in the ocean between Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Pilots often complain that during the flight over it the instruments cease to work, and the ships regularly disappear, swimming in these dangerous waters. There are many versions of what is happening - from the impact of gas bubbles to the tricks of aliens - but what really stands behind the strange phenomena, God alone knows.

3. The Shepherd Monument

There are many photos and videos that allegedly depict a monster. But it was not possible to identify him. It is rumored that the monster lives under water till now.

8. Bigfoot

Presumably this is a creature living in the snow-covered regions of the USA and Canada. At first Bigfoot was considered a gorilla, but the fact that he is constantly seen as erect, suggests that there may be something human in him.

9. Black Dahlia

22-year-old Elizabeth Short wanted to become a famous actress. And still famous. True, she had to die for this. The body of the girl was found dismembered, mutilated and exsanguinated.

15. "WOW!" Signal

Jerry Eman did not expect that he would succeed, but he managed to record a 72-second signal coming from the constellation of Sagittarius. He could no longer repeat the feat.

The bodies of the sailors were not mutilated, but according to the expressions of persons it was read that they died in agony. The vessel was whole, but there was a strong cold in the hold.

Where he came from is excavated, it is still unclear.
