15 "Unsolved" Mysteries

    I took a geology class and the professor was telling us about how Texas Hardpan is the hardest known rock on earth (that isn't diamond), so when they planned to dig on the moon the drill that was designed could eat through the rock very quickly. However, once they actually got to the moon and used the drill, they got about 6 inches before the rock destroyed the drill.

    I know, cool story bro, but just thought it was interesting.

    I've never been able to drill deeper than 6 inches either. It's a common problem, certainly not limited to lunar expeditions.

    I hardly ever post on here, but when I do you pop up and post some funny shit dude lol

    Also obviously moon = not of earth, just thought it was interesting and wondered how you would ever be able to prove that the moon is hollow if you can't break through the crust with anything other than a meteor...I guess we could bomb it though. The far side that is, the one nobody looks at lol

    Unsolved Mysteries - Men in Black

    Visit: https://sites.google.com/site/paranormalzonex for Paranormal News and Information. Men In Black - If you ever report that you've seen a UFO, the ''Men In Black'' may visit you. Who are they and do they exist? These accounts by eyewitnesses are disturbing evidence the ''Men In Black'' that were spoofed in the movie, actually exist and there is nothing funny about them. Men in Black (MIB), in popular culture and in UFO conspiracy theories, are men or aliens dressed in black suits who claim to be government agents who harass or threaten UFO witnesses to keep them quiet about what they have seen. It is sometimes implied that they may be aliens themselves. The term is also frequently used to describe mysterious men working for unknown organizations, as well as to various branches of government allegedly designed to protect secrets or perform other strange activities. The term is a generic one, used to refer to any unusual, threatening or strangely behaved individual whose appearance on the scene can be linked in some fashion with a UFO sighting. Early reports of Men in Black often described them as men of short stature with swarthy complexions, as if they were deeply tanned. Some reported them as Gypsies. Sunglasses, black suits and black cars have been a feature for the entire period since modern sightings began in 1947, but according to UFO historian Jerome Clark, "All MIB are not necessarily garbed in dark suits." According to the accounts of those reporting encountering them, Men in Black always seem to have detailed information on the persons they contact, as if the individual had been under surveillance for a long period of time. They have been described as seeming confused by the nature of everyday items such as pens, eating utensils or food, as well as using outdated slang, though accounts on the behavior of Men in Black vary widely. Accounts indicate that they often claim to be from an agency collecting information on the unexplained phenomenon their subject has encountered. In other accounts, they seem to be trying to suppress information by, for instance, trying to convince their subject the phenomenon never existed. They have been described as behaving in either an exceedingly furtive manner or a completely outgoing one, with wide grins and disconcerting giggles. In the UFO research community the Men in Black often claim to be from the U.S. Air Force or the CIA. Those who have encountered them say they produce identification, but when verification is later sought, the people described either do not exist, have been dead for some time, or do exist but have a different rank.

  • it occurs to me that Mars is less dense than the moon; clearly hollow as well. I think it goes without saying .... Mothership.. It's no wonder that NASA just announced a cutback in Mars missions,

  • Keith Stone said...

    Wait, the moon is actually a space ship?!

    Yes.
    Whenever a subject has not been researched enough to answer a great many of the puzzling questions surrounding it, the logical answer is always to assume that it's alien in nature and/or likely a soil encrusted orbiting spaceship.
    If science has taught us anything...it's that leaping to the most ridiculous conclusion imaginable is always the most prudent one.

    DB Cooper has always been a really cool story. Especially with some of the people that reported strangers in the area around the time he was supposed to be on the run.

    The money pit is another one, though its likely to never be solved.

    I agree, although I think he probably died (drowned), it is a pretty damn cool story.

    Funny how the criminals become the hero when they get away sometimes.

    Its just crazy to keep spending millions on cool robotic mars missions to analyse and photograph an unexplored world when the investment of a few billions can send teachers dozens of miles above the earth to plumb the mysteries of whether a spider can spin in 0 g.

    Thank goodness we have former astronauts guiding things or we would never fully explore near Earth orbit. It is my dream that one day these efforts will come to fruition and every communications satellite can reach its full potential by being continually crewed. Sure, they do some useful things now but machines can't be programmed for every eventuality. There are some things that only a trained specialist can do.

    For starters, I know some people have strong feelings about the Blue Angels being a waste of money...which they really are.

    I paid my student loan like a freaking' clock for 10 years and you want me to chip in on yours?

    I am crying now. Grief overwhelms me.

    Yeah, no doubt that's a waste of money. Elite pilots should be on rotation for deployment, not participating in an Air Circus as they accumulate years toward their pension.

    No ferrari for you, but the CEO's of the mega-businesses that went belly-up will be getting to keep theirs with this here kajillion dollar bail-out. That ditch they dug themselves into with their irresponsible corporateering and greed, if you could just forget that happened, that'd be great.

    Enjoy the hors d'oeuvres Doctor, but please do make way for the truly entitled. Thanks.

  • I like missing person cases. Netflix has the Disappeared series and I like thinking over all of the possible scenarios. Most of them, you can come up with a pretty good idea of what happened, but the Maura Murray case is a difficult one to figure out

    If any of you watch the video, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on the case. The 8th anniversary of her disappearance was this weekend and someone put up some taunting videos on youtube.
