5 terrible phenomena that even science can not explain

Modern man trusts science more than ever before. If we suddenly encounter a phenomenon that we can not explain ourselves, then we turn to scientific publications for this. But in the world there are still a few places that can not be explained. And although such places are not at all proof of magic, we are still fascinated by what nature is offering us.

1. Hessdalen's lights

For many decades, residents of the valley of Hessdalen, which is in Norway, feel like in the film "The X-Files". Every night strange lights appear in the sky, which move randomly and even blink in different colors. And do not think that they are seen only by drunken residents of the village. Science officially confirms that the lights are quite real, but do not know what exactly causes them.

Guesses of scientists about what is really happening are just as unusual as the lights themselves. According to one terrible theory, the valley is very radioactive. Radon is superimposed on dust particles, which in the air decay, thereby causing a glow. If this is true, then this is bad news for local residents - radon is not the friendliest element.

Other scientists are of the opinion that the valley can be a huge "battery". It was found that one side of the valley is rich in copper deposits, and the second - of zinc. It is these elements that make up the batteries. All that is needed is an acid to connect the two sides, and something like a charge, and in the atmosphere sparks begin to appear that are very reminiscent of an alien invasion.

Or ... it could be terribly boring aliens. We do not really know which of these versions looks more plausible.

2. Sleepy Epidemic in Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan also has the right to be known, although in fact it is more like a "headache" for the local population. It's about a mysterious epidemic that causes fatigue, memory loss, hallucinations and, strangely enough, prolonged bouts of unexpected narcolepsy.

Over the past few years, hundreds of Kalachi residents have already reported a sudden unconscious condition. The problem became so serious that even the residents of this city were evacuated. According to the leading hypothesis, local residents became a victim of radiation poisoning, because the city is located near the uranium mines. But in this theory there are some incomprehensible moments. Residents of the neighboring city, which is located even closer to the mines, do not experience any signs of illness.

In addition, all blood tests were normal. This leads to the idea that the situation may be a case of good old hysteria. Anyone who falls asleep at work is considered a victim of a sleeping sickness, although it is possible that he played Skyrim all night long.

3. Fairy Circles in Namibia

The desert in Namibia (Africa) has its own amazing features. Circles with a diameter of 3 to 20 meters are located on an area of more than 1500 kilometers. The secret is that in these circles nothing grows, even if the rest of the field is covered with grass. Scientists have tried to find out the secret of these circles for decades, but they all ended up in a dead end. They not only can not explain where these circles originated from, but also do not know why they are distributed more or less evenly, have the form of a regular circle and never intersect. Nevertheless, they came up with dozens of (mostly debunked) theories that tried to explain this fact.

In 2013, scientist Norbert Jurgens stated that circles were created by termites. Other theories include the effects of radiation, as well as the fact that ostriches that bathe in dirt can do this. Each theory was successfully refuted.

4. The buzz in Taos

If you are one of those people who can hear the buzz of a TV set or the noise of electric wires, then you must understand how you can slowly go crazy with an annoying monotonous sound. Residents of Taos (New Mexico) hear a similar sound every minute and every day. Since the early 1990s, city residents have begun to report a constant buzzing sound that pervades the whole city and leads people to subtle frenzy.

On Borneo, the source of this sound was a local factory, and in one of the English cities, the noise comes from the neighboring runway. However, in Taos, scientists have been unsuccessfully trying to find the source of noise for more than 20 years. The predominant theory is that people who hear this noise have such a sensitive hearing that they perceive the sounds that their own brain produces.

5. The devil kettle in Minnesota

The Brul River in Minnesota flows along fragments of rocks. In one place its course is divided into two parts. One part continues to flow into the Upper Lake, and the second one gets ... hmm ... into the water paradise?

The fact is that this water does not flow anywhere. There is an assumption that the water flows through the system of underwater caves, until it appears again near the lake. After all, she must go somewhere. But scientists could not find this place.

And it's not that they did not try. The scientists poured paint into the kettle, and then watched the lake to see which part of it would change color. When it did not work, they threw in ping-pong balls, which also disappeared, which seriously frightened the locals.
