Think Anomalous - Science and the Unexplained

While many UFO sightings may appear to be random, isolated events, others are actually quite patterned - almost predictable. The Hudson Valley sightings came in waves, frequently recurring in the same few areas north of New York City. After years of sightings, it became clear that these sightings followed a few strange, but discernible patterns that seem to suggest that there is some logic to the UFO phenomenon.

For two years, Jackie Hernandez was tormented by a variety of anomalous activity that persisted after two moves, and attached itself to those she knew. Also known as the San Pedro Haunting, her case is remarkable for the sheer number of anomalous events, but it's also an interesting case study in the blurred lines between hauntings and poltergeists.

It's common for debunkers to argue that trained observers don't see UFOs, but the incident over Tehran in 1976 puts the lie this myth. For several hours, multiple experienced pilots, air traffic controllers, and ground observers watched a UFO drift over the city of Tehran, and exhibit a wide range of baffling behaviours that they are still unable to explain.

​The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world to survive to the present day, and it remains a marvel of design and execution. Despite this, however, we know very little about its origins, or the purpose of its many peculiar features. Egyptologists generally agree that it was built as a Pharaoh’s tomb, but specialists from a variety of different disciplines have shown it to be vastly more complex than other pyramids, and very different from other tombs, suggesting that it may have had some other function altogether.
