Over the almost 200-year history of photography, several unique photographs have been taken that no one can explain to this day. (Next 10 mysterious stories)
In 2004, the Opportunity rover discovered curious microscopic spherical formations on the Martian soil. However, Opportunity took an even more interesting image at the end of 2012, which clearly shows a much larger number of much larger spheres.
These spheres, made of hematite, could mean that there was water on the “Red Planet” in the past.
Sea Monster filmed off the coast of Hook Island (March 1965)
This well-known photo is considered by many to be the result of Photoshop. But few people know that French photographer Robert le Serrec photographed this unknown giant sea animal back in 1965, and this photograph became the reason for heated discussions among zoologists.
The first photograph of an unknown object, called the “Black Knight,” was taken in 1960 by one of the first Earth satellites. An unidentified object is clearly visible in polar orbit, which could not be either a USSR satellite or a US satellite. Since then, this object has been seen many times - it appears and disappears at certain time intervals. The images below are photographs of this object taken by NASA's STS-88 mission.
Among these images was STS088-724-66. Enlarging the image makes it possible to view the object in more detail. After careful study, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a fragment of artificial origin.
On November 22, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas. While analyzing photographs taken at the murder scene, experts noticed a mysterious woman in a light brown raincoat and scarf. She appears in many photographs and almost always holds a camera in her hands. The FBI was looking for this woman for a long time, but they were never able to establish her identity.
The Collector's Edition DVD of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus includes a bonus featurette about the 1928 premiere. One of the frames shows a woman holding in her hand something very reminiscent of a mobile phone. Belfast-based film director George Clarke said he believes the footage is evidence of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that the woman is holding an auditory tube in her hand. But then it is not clear why she smiles and says something to her.
In 1907, a group of teachers, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study mysterious phenomenon, called "The Lights of Hessdalen".
Björn Hauge took this one on a clear night using a shutter speed of 30 seconds. Spectral analysis showed that the object must be composed of silicon, iron and scandium. This is the most informative, but far from the only photo of the “Lights of Hessdalen”. Scientists are still scratching their heads as to what it could be.
This photo was taken during the Tiananmen Square riots in Beijing in June 1989. Some unarmed man alone held back a column of tanks for half an hour. Personality and further fate this man has remained a mystery. But this photograph was published in almost all major publications in the world, and the unknown rebel himself became a symbol of resistance to power.
In 1964, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth, where he decided to take Kodak photographs of his five-year-old daughter. The Templetons assured that there was no one else in these swampy places except them. And when the photographs were developed, one of them revealed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl’s back. The analysis showed that the photograph had not been subject to any changes.
This is a group photo of Goddard's squadron, which fought in the First World War. It contains one intriguing detail: at the very top, behind one of the officers, you can see a face in which the squadron members recognized their former mechanic Freddie Jackson, who died two days before this photo was taken. And on the day the squadron was photographed, Jackson’s funeral took place.
What you see above is a photograph of the lunar surface numbered AS17-136-20680, which was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. In the catalog of photographs, it was listed as “exposed.” She clearly suffered from excessive light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, it captured structures resembling pyramids.
But we hope that one day, through research and science, they will be solved.
But there is a high probability that many questions will remain unanswered.
Here are some photos that may be confusing.
1. The woman in the brown coat during the Kennedy assassination
Woman in a brown coat or " Lady Grandmother", as the FBI later called it, was very close to President John F. Kennedy when he was assassinated in Dallas.
According to witnesses, this woman filmed the entire murder process. She was in a very important point review and could answer the question of what exactly happened that day.
However, the FBI was never able to track down the woman or identify the identity of this mysterious observer.
No photographs from the murder scene showed her face, and the video she took has not been discovered, despite requests from law enforcement.
2. Death of the Dyatlov group
In 1959, nine Soviet tourists died mysteriously in the Ural Mountains. The photo you see was taken by a rescue team. According to rescuers, tourists cut the tent and ran out barefoot into the snow trying to escape from something.
Six tourists died from hypothermia, two from sternum fractures, and one from severe head trauma. In addition, one tourist was missing her tongue. Another strange fact was high radioactivity of clothing Dyatlov group.
3. Lights of Phoenix
The Phoenix Lights are a series of bright, stationary lights observed by thousands of people over the city of Phoenix, Arizona, USA, and the city of Sonora, Mexico, on March 13, 1997.
The US Air Force explained that the lights were flares dropped during a training exercise. However, experts have denied this. Moreover, they appeared again over Phoenix in 2007 and 2008. An explanation for this phenomenon has never been found.
4. Solway Firth astronaut
Englishman Jim Tempelton(Jim Templeton) took this photo of his daughter on a walk in 1964. When he took the photo, he didn't notice anything strange in the swampy area where the two of them were.
However, when he developed the photographs, he noticed that there was something in the picture behind his daughter that looks like an astronaut. But no one was around when Tempelton took the photo, and Kodak experts confirmed that the photo had not been altered.
5. Mysterious thumb
In this photo of four children, the boy in black has someone's thumb on the right near his ear, which does not belong to any of the children.
6. Companion "Black Knight"
According to some assumptions, there is an ancient dark object called the Black Knight satellite, which is located in Earth's orbit for the last 13,000 years.
No one knows how it got there or its purpose. This photograph was taken by the US space shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 1998.
These photos show the gaping hole that was created when a plane crashed into the South Tower of the World shopping center On September 11, 2001, a woman can be seen standing on the edge of a hole waving for help.
The woman was identified as Edna Cintron, but no one could explain how she was able to survive after the plane crashed into the building.
8. Falcon Lake Incident
May 20, 1967 Stefan Michalak(Stefan Michalak) was in the forest near Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, when he saw nearby two UFOs in the shape of cigars. When the door to one of the facilities opened, Michalak heard voices and tried to talk to the creatures inside. But when he approached the door, he could not distinguish anything except a “labyrinth of lights.”
Suddenly the door of the aircraft closed and the object rose up, throwing out hot air at the man through a grate opening, which caused his clothes to catch fire.
The doctors at the hospital were extremely surprised lattice pattern of burns on the chest the victim, as can be seen in the photograph.
9. Time Traveler
This photograph was taken in 1941 after the reopening of the South Forks Bridge in Canada. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing unusual in the photograph.
But if you look closely, you will notice that one the man in the photo is dressed quite modernly, he is wearing fashionable dark glasses, and he is holding a modern camera in his hands.
For comparison, circled on the left we see a man with a camera typical of the time.
10. Madonna with Saint Giovannino
This is one of the most famous unexplained images of all time. While the focus of the painting is on Mary, you can see something strange hovering over her left shoulder.
The object is very similar to a UFO, and below you can see a man and a dog looking up at a flying saucer.
11. Skunk monkey
In 2000, an unknown woman took two photographs of what was believed to be a skunk monkey and sent them with a letter to a Florida sheriff's department. In the letter, she wrote that she photographed the monster in her yard, which came three times at night for apples that she left on the back porch. Bigfoot hunters called the creature a "skunk ape" because of its resemblance and unpleasant odor emanating from him.
12. Mobile phone in Chaplin's film
In the DVD tracks of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, people could watch a short film and photographs of the film's premiere in 1928, where they can see a woman who appears to be talking on a cell phone.
Director George Clarke said this was proof of the existence of time travelers. Some have suggested that the woman was using an ear tube, but this does not explain why she is talking through the hearing aid.
13. UFO at the bottom of the Baltic Sea
In 2012, a Swedish research team discovered a mysterious 18-meter disk at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. This object, apparently created by intelligent beings, looked like a spaceship from Star Wars.
Secret is something that people use. The secret allows everyone to express their point of view, basing it solely on their own conclusions. It pleases your pride and raises your self-esteem. The following 10 photos will help you stroke your vanity and express your hypothesis.Could this lady codenamed "babushka" have anything to do with the assassination of JFK?
The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 gave rise to many conspiracy theories. One of the mysteries is Lady "babushka", a nickname that was given to an unidentified woman who was repeatedly photographed at the murder scene. How was this lady different from everyone else? Unlike others, she filmed everything on a video camera and was very close to where the bullet hit the president. The police tried to track down the woman, in the hope that her footage would help solve the mystery, but to this day, no one knows her name.
In 1970, a woman named Beverly Oliver appeared who claimed that she was the very “babushka”. A few years after Kennedy's assassination, she says, a man knocked on her house and introduced himself as an FBI agent. She admitted to them that she had the film and gave the original. Then they disappeared and she was never heard from again.
Her legend was immediately questioned, mainly because she was only 17 years old in 1963. Based on the photo, there’s no way to give the woman less than 40. In 1994, Beverly Oliver wrote a book of memoirs about that day and called it “A Nightmare in Dallas.” This book became the inspiration for John Oliver's film JFK.
Officials doubt the veracity of her legend, so officially "babushka" remains a mystery.
Lights of Hessdalen: Aliens or natural battery?
In Hessdalen, Norway, people regularly see spectacular lights. The lights were very active between 1981 and 1984, with people coming from all over the world to experience the open air night, saw these lights 15-20 times a week. Nowadays, people observe this phenomenon only 15-20 times a year.
Scientific explanation these lights are missing, leading many to speculate that they are caused by alien activity spaceships.
However, as of May 2014, some scientists think they may have solved the mystery. The hypothesis is that a large number of iron inside the mountain, combined with big amount sulfur in the river, create something like a battery. When the ionized gas comes into contact with river vapors, people see lights. This theory has not yet been proven, so the mystery is still considered unsolved.
Sea monster
If this photo were taken today, it would most likely be called a hack job in Photoshop, but they were taken on December 12, 1964. And in case you forgot, let me remind you that there was no Photoshop then.
Robert Le Serrec and his wife were off the coast of Stonehaven Bay on Hook Island, Queensland. Robert's wife noticed a huge silhouette in the quiet lagoon and took several photographs to later determine what it was. As they said, the creature looked like a huge tadpole 25 meters long. At first the creature was motionless, but when they pointed the boat at it, it quickly sank into the depths.
The Mystery of the Astronaut Silhouette
When Jim Templeton took photographs of his wife and daughter on a sunny day in Cumbria, England, in the summer of 1964, he did not know that he would soon become the target of all sorts of conspiracy theorists. But here's what happened according to Jim. There was no one behind his daughter and wife when he took the photo. An unknown silhouette appeared after he developed the photographs. The police did not see anything criminal in the photograph, but the media inflated the whole story.
Many have debunked the mystery of this photograph, theorizing that what appears to be an astronaut is none other than the girl's mother standing further up the hill, and the light silhouette was due to light hitting the lens during the shooting. Others firmly stand their ground and say that the photo is of an astronaut. According to legend, a rocket launch was planned in the area that day, which was interrupted by two men in white spacesuits who were watching the launch from the mountain, and it was one of them who was removed by Templeton.
Faces of phantoms overboard Watertown
James Courtney and Michael Meehan cleaning the fuel tank on the Watertown in 1924. While working, the men inhaled harmful fumes and died from suffocation. As was customary at the time, they were buried at sea. But for several days after their funeral, the ship was haunted by the faces of two men who did not disappear from the surface of the water for a second. The faces were very clearly visible, and Captain Keith Tracy ordered them to be photographed. The photo shows two large faces chasing the ship.
Alien satellite in Earth orbit
Can a satellite that is more than 13,000 years old fly in Earth's orbit? Theoretically, anything is possible, and people who believe in the presence of extraterrestrial intelligence have found confirmation of this in this photograph. Some have even linked this "satellite" to the long echo that Nikola Tesla once recorded in 1899, sending a signal into space. Rumors about the possible presence of an unidentified object in Earth's orbit appeared in the 1950s, when stories were published in which the US Air Force allegedly described the discovery of two satellites that neither the United States nor the USSR had ever launched.
Ghost at dinner
Legend has it that when the Cooper family (pictured) moved into their new house, and this was the first photograph that was taken within the walls of this house. When the Photograph was developed, everyone saw a body hanging from the ceiling, which none of the people in the photo had seen. Further research gave rise to many legends, however, most are inclined to skillfully combine two photographs and it is quite possible that this was done deliberately.
Pyramids on the dark side of the moon
What exactly is hiding there on the dark side of the Moon? The photo above was taken by Apollo 17 during its final flight to the Moon. At first it was rejected as unsuccessful, but then they paid attention. Although there is a lot of “noise” in the photo, the straight lines characteristic of a pyramid are clearly visible. Some believe that on back side the moons have pyramids similar to those of Egypt, but most are skeptical of these claims.
Photo of Freddie Jackson after death
In 1919, Freddie Jackson was accidentally killed by an airplane propeller while working on Sir Victor Goddard's airplane. Two days later, the squadron took a photo, and when Goddard found himself in the photo, he saw Freddie Jackson's face behind him. When he showed his discovery to his friends, they agreed that it was in fact the late Jackson. That day was his funeral.
The mysterious death of Elisa Lam
Elisa Lam was a 21-year-old student who went missing from the Cecil Hotel in January 2013. Los Angeles. Her body was later found in a technical water tank. Eliza was reported to have suffered from bipolar disorder and the story could have been a simple accident, but still, her death left too many questions that could not easily be attributed to an accident.
The video, which preserved the last moments of her life, shows Eliza pressing all the elevator buttons, but the elevator does not close, and then we see Eliza hiding from someone. Then she gets out of the elevator, looks around, runs into the elevator, presses the buttons, but the elevator again does not want to close the doors. Minutes pass, Eliza leaves the elevator and the doors close... We don’t see her anymore.
Other facts that may make your blood run cold:
Two serial killers stayed at this hotel
- a strange outbreak of tuberculosis that occurred a few blocks from the hotel. And the strangest thing is that this quarter was called LAM-ELISA.
- no one could also explain the fact how she was able to get onto the roof, because the passage to it was locked,
- and who updated her blog six months later?
This story has interested Hollywood and therefore in 2015 expect a film about the strange death of Elisa Lam.

Mysteries always arouse genuine interest in people; they give everyone the opportunity to invent and think out something of their own, completely inexplicable and mysterious. The 10 photographs presented in this article are the most mystical in the entire history of photography. Mysterious photos demonstrate to humanity that not everything can be explained logically.
The assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963 is shrouded in many mysteries; another mystery is this photograph taken at the crime scene. The woman depicted in the picture is one of the most mysterious figures. The police, having reviewed hundreds of photographs taken on that fateful day, were unable to identify the elderly person; they tried to track her down in the hope of finding at least some additional evidence.
It later turned out that the woman depicted in the photograph, Beverly Oliver, who was only 17 years old at the time the photo was taken, was distorted by the camera in such a way that the girl in the picture appeared much older than her age. There is no evidence or refutation of this fact.
Mysterious lights of unknown origin have been recorded in the Hessdalen Valley. Residents recall that the glow was first noticed during the Second World War, but since 1981 they have become more frequent. People from all over the world began to come to the valley to see the lights. Eyewitnesses claim that in some periods the glow appeared 15-20 times a week.
The scientific explanation for these lights remains unproven, leading to much debate and disagreement regarding their nature. Some say they are aliens, while others say they could be headlights, mirages, celestial bodies or airplane lights.
If these pictures were taken today, viewers would blame Photoshop for everything, but this photo was taken on December 12, 1964 and then it caused a lot of controversy and rumors. In 1964, there was no Photoshop, so people came up with their own explanations.
Robert Le Serre and his wife were vacationing off the coast of Stonehaven Bay, near Hook Island, Queensland. His wife noticed an unusual large object underwater and they took some photographs. According to the couple's descriptions, the object resembled a giant tadpole, approximately 2.5 meters long. The object didn't move, and the pair thought the tadpole might be dead, so they moved closer. Then the creature began to move, and they ran away, and the unknown object floated away.
When Jim Templeton took photographs of his wife and daughter on a sunny day in Cumbria, England, in the summer of 1964, little did he know that it would spark much debate among UFO conspiracy theorists.
After the shooting, the photographer developed the film and took photographs, he discovered that behind his little daughter there was a silhouette of a man in a spacesuit. Templeton said he saw no one other than his wife and daughter during the photo shoot. When the photo became public, some viewers said that the astronaut behind her was none other than the girl’s mother standing behind her. Others suggested that it was an astronaut who had landed in the same area.
James Courtney and Michael Meehan were poisoned by gasoline fumes during their sea voyage to New York in 1924. As was customary at the time, the men were buried at sea. However, within days of their burial, reflections of two men's faces were seen in the water. The faces were so clear that Captain Keith Tracy was able to photograph the two ghosts.
This photo was taken in 1950. Then, after recording a mysterious flying object, rumors about an alien invasion spread throughout the world. UFO researcher Donald Keyhoe made claims to the US Air Force about the discovery of two satellites orbiting the Earth, however, in the end it turned out that no one launched these satellites and absolutely nothing is known about them.
Legend has it that when the Cooper family, pictured here, moved into their new home, they decided to take the first photo. During the shooting, the camera captured the image of a body falling from the ceiling. Further investigation into this story reveals little information to clarify this situation. As a result, many decided that this was just some kind of trick or hoax. How everything really happened, no one knew.
It is a well-known fact that humanity always sees the Earth’s satellite from one side. But what is hiding on the other side of the moon? Below is a photo taken by Apollo 17 during its final mission to the Moon. Despite the graininess of the frame, the image of a certain pointed mountain or pyramid is clearly visible in it. Some believe that these are the Great Pyramids, similar to the Egyptian ones. NASA is not disclosing the origin of the image or specifying what exactly it depicts.
In 1919, mechanic Freddie Jackson was accidentally killed by an airplane propeller while working. Two days after this, the squadron was gathered for a joint photo. After the photo was released, everyone was very surprised to see Freddie Jackson appear in the photo. The entire crew reviewed the photo and everyone agreed that it was Jackson, despite the fact that he died two days before the photo, and the funeral took place on the same day as the shooting.
In January 2013, 21-year-old student Elisa Lam was staying at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles. Over time, the girl's body was found in a water tank by a maintenance technician. Witnesses say it was suicide. This story might not have attracted public attention if not for a number of strange coincidences accompanying it.
It all started with a strange video recorded by a camera in the elevator, when, after pressing the button, the doors did not close for a long time. Next, Lam is seen trying to hide from something invisible in the corner of the elevator. Then the video shows the girl leaving the elevator, looking around chaotically, doubting her decision. At the same time, the elevator doors did not try to close, as if someone or something was preventing them from doing so. Minutes pass, and the girl’s strange behavior continues after Lam disappears from the camera’s field of view. When the girl left the elevator, it closed itself and went to the next floor. It remains a mystery how Lam was able to end up on the roof, which was locked and barricaded. The mystical update of information on the girl’s blog, which occurred six months after her death, is also shrouded in mystery.
