20. Funnels in Yamal
In the summer of 2015, a crater with a diameter of about 100 meters appeared in the ground in Yamal, Siberia. After some time, another hole appeared in another place, but with a smaller diameter. According to eyewitnesses, the appearance of the second hole was accompanied by smoke and a bright blinding light.
After that, in November, an expedition was assembled to the bottom of the funnel. Scientists took samples for research, but have still not been able to explain the reason for the appearance of these deep black holes. The only reliable fact is that the distance between the craters that appeared and the permafrost line is the same.
19. The Walrus of St Pancras
St Pancras is a London railway station that became famous thanks to archaeological excavations in 2003. A burial site dating back to the early 19th century was found on the site of an old church.
At that time, such burial grounds were a frequent occurrence due to the constant epidemics. In one of the coffins, a family of 8 people was found together with a sea animal - a walrus from the Pacific Ocean. Scientists still cannot explain what the walrus was doing in the 19th century more than 13,000 kilometers from home and how it got there.
18. The D.B. Cooper Case
The most notorious crime of the second half of the 20th century, organized by D.B. Cooper, remains unsolved to this day. On the eve of Thanksgiving, a young man boarded a Boeing 727 flight to Seattle. Having told the flight attendant that he had a bomb, Cooper demanded a ransom of 200 thousand dollars and 4 parachutes.
The terrorist's demands were met by the FBI, after which the plane took off and landed safely at the destination airport. Cooper released all the hostages except the pilots and the flight attendant. He then demanded that the plane be lifted into the sky and flew towards Mexico. Somewhere in the middle of the flight, D.B. Cooper jumped out and has not been found to this day.

Many trees were simply destroyed, and everything around was burned. The official version of this phenomenon says that it was a meteorite.

The scrap of paper belonged to a book in a car parked near the crime scene. It also contained an incomprehensible code that the police were unable to decipher. In addition, the book contained a nurse's phone number.
