number 15 Lake maraio Venezuela Lake Maraio in Venezuela has long been relied upon by local communities for water and fishing, of course, but there is a strange phenomenon taking place there that has been happening for hundreds of years.

It is called catatumbo lightning and is known as the eternal storm. It's a place where it's actually more likely to happen. If there is a thunderstorm every night, these storms can produce up to a million lightning bolts per year and last up to 10 hours per night, for 140 to 160 nights a year the lightning is usually visible for miles around and creates an al

otherworldly atmosphere. world. feel as it occurs to make things even stranger despite continued study there is still no agreement on why exactly this phenomenon occurs in the precise location it is believed to be the result of a unique combination of factors that are specific to the Lake Maraio Region in where warm, humid air from the Caribbean Sea collides with cold air descending from the mountains of the Indies along with the topography of the Lakes, it is not entirely clear whether this is enough to create the perfect conditions for storms and some Researchers believe it is too.

With oil reserves and the presence of minerals beneath the lake, regardless of the cause, although the katumo ray has become an important part of Venezuelan folklore and traditions and has even found its way into literature, art and music, has also saved countless lives throughout. years, as it has been so reliable throughout history that it was used by sailors and sailors as a natural lighthouse that guided them safely through the treacherous waters of Lake Maraio and the nearby Gulf of Venezuela number 14 chocolate hills philippines The chocolate hills located on the island of Bola and the Philippines create a stunning natural landscape and, dating back to 1776, have become one of the

most

famous landmarks in the country.

They owe their name to their appearance during the dry season, when the grass that covers the hills turns brown and begins to resemble a mountain of chocolate. It is an incredible transformation that takes place and attracts people from all over the world. of the Chocolate Hills although it is a subject of scientific interest and a local legend and scientifically there are still some pieces to be discovered the explanation of how they were formed Geological studies have shown that they are the result of the erosion of limestone and the uplift of deposits of coral from an ancient seabed and over millions of years they have created these cone shaped hills that have a precise shape the large number of them and why they are not eroding is completely clear and is still the subject of research.

Of course, there is an explanation beyond science and there is a more romantic story from local folklore. Legend says that a giant named Oroo fell. In love with a mortal woman named Aloya when he died, Orogo was heartbroken and couldn't stop crying and it was his tears that formed the chocolate hills as they dried and solidified. Under the sun, the Chocolate Hills have become a popular tourist attraction in the Philippines. attracting visitors from all over and now there is an observation deck called The Chocolate Hills complex that offers unparalleled panoramic views of the wonders. It is there that visitors can climb to the top and enjoy the stunning view of the rolling chocolate-colored hills that stretch as far as the eye can see 13 the zone of silence Mexico there are a number of places around the world where Strange electronic phenomena occur but perhaps there are none as peculiar and legendary as the Mapimi Silent Zone in the state of Durango in Mexico, also known simply as the zone of silence or La Zona Del Silencio in Spanish, is a remote area of ​​the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico covering an area of ​​approximately 1500 thousand square or 3800 square kilometers, its sparsely populated arid landscape is covered with unique rock formations and deserts.

Flora and fauna is just as you would expect from a stretch of desert, but what makes it different is the number of accounts of electromagnetic disturbances and un

explain

ed events over the years. Probably the most famous of the peculiar effects within the silence zone is its ability to disrupt radio signals and communication equipment. Many have reported experiencing a complete loss of radio contact when traveling through the area, but no one is entirely sure why some theories have suggested that these disruptions are a result of high levels of magnetic and mineral deposits in the region, but There have also been claims of paranormal or extraterrestrial activity, which adds to the more out-of-this-world solutions.

The solutions are that there have also been reports of strange luminous objects in the sky of the region and, while these events are much less common than electrical interference, they too have not been satisfactorily explained, since this is such a remote region, There has been extensive research into what is causing these strange events, but it is hoped that one day it may be a sign that it is geologically and environmentally a special place and that one could become very important in the future, when we fully understand it. 12, the Dancing Forest Russia Located in the Coronian SP, which is a sandbar that extends to the Baltic Sea in Russia, there is an unusual formation that baffled scientists and captured the imagination of visitors known as the dancing forest or early lesno in Russian is a large group of trees that have grown in strange and completely unexpected ways.

They are all pine trees that should normally grow tall and straight, but here they take on strange and often capricious shapes, their trunks can twist in spirals. like corkscrews and their branches seem to contort in a strange, almost surreal way, some seem as if they are bowing or dancing and the forest floor is covered with their mysterious shadows that create a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere. This is not the only forest in the world where trees are known to grow in peculiar ways, but most others have been easy to explain in this dancing forest, although the exact cause continues to elude researchers, but they have been proposed.

There are a few theories to explain it, the most popular being that these deformities have been caused by the strong and persistent coastal winds that sweep across the Cor Ian tongue, shaping the trees over time. The sandy soil and unique microclimate of the region may also play a role in how this interacts with the trees, but this would normally be expected to be the case. make each of the trees grow in a similar way, those in the dancing forest are different from each other, so there must be another factor that is influencing their behavior in job number 11, Devil's Kettle Minnesota, the judge The state park CR Magny in Minnesota is a beautiful Region of Protected Natural Beauty, but while it's popular with locals for the hiking trails and camping, it's most famous for a large waterfall called The Devil's Kettle, not just because it's a stunning feature in itself. itself, but because there is an enduring mystery surrounding the water that passes over it.

It is on the Brw River which flows through the park, but just before reaching the waterfall, about half the volume of water cascades into a huge, deep hole known as a kettle, the remaining half continues to flow over the waterfall. and continues like a river beneath the So what really happens to the water that falls into the teapot? Over the years, there have been countless attempts to solve this, including testing it with dice, placing GPS trackers on it, and even throwing objects like logs and pingpong balls into the teapot in the hopes that They will reappear elsewhere much to your dismay, although all of these objects disappear without a trace, something that has led to rumors and legends about a series of vast networks of underground tunnels and hidden caves.

What makes things even stranger is that a little further down the river. The flow increases significantly, suggesting that virtually all of the missing water eventually returns, but none of the objects die nor the trackers are known to have resurfaced, so you must take a complicated route to get there, one that with current technology we cannot complete completely. chart or understand the number 10 al-naaza Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is home to some of the most pristine and impressive desert environments in the world, but although we now fully understand how most of these structures are formed, there is one place that continues to baffle around 31 m or 50 km south of Oasis T is what is known as the Al-naaza Rock, which is made of sandstone and is about 20 feet high and 30 feet wide and stands perfectly upright despite weighing several tons.

This would be unusual at the best of times, but to make things even stranger, the enormous stone is split in two with such precision that it is an almost symmetrical gap in the center. The precision of this division has led some to suggest that it must be the result of human intervention or advanced ancient technology, but there is no definitive evidence. Human involvement has been discovered and the exact cause of this impressive formation remains a topic of debate. Geologists generally believe that the unique Al-Nla split is the result of natural processes, primarily stress-induced fracturing of the sandstone over millions of years, forces such as tectonic activity.

Erosion and weathering have acted on the sandstone causing it to crack along its natural faults. The precise division is simply a fluke of a combination of The Rock's unique properties and the slow, patient action of natural forces. Still, it's hard to believe that this is purely natural and not everyone is convinced. Nasla has become a destination for explorers, geologists and curious travelers who want to see it first hand and it looks like it could fall at any moment despite having stood for centuries in a region so rich in history. Additionally, with archaeological sites dating back thousands of years, such as ancient rock engravings and inscriptions, it is also likely that the split stone played a role in ancient rituals or ceremonies, but this too remains to be proven.

Star Number Nine Tabby, recent advances in technology have allowed us to look at the stars in ways that have never been possible before, but the more we do it, the more we discover places in the universe that defy conventional understanding. One way used to determine if there are planets orbiting distant stars is to measure the amount of light that is emitted and if there are times when it dims, it could be a sign that there is an object temporarily blocking it. Using this technique, our sun would see its light dim by a few points as the largest planet, Jupiter, moves in front of it.

But researchers have discovered a star where the light differential is much larger than this, raising the question of what could be large enough to have such an effect. The Tabby star, officially known as kic 846 2852, is located in the constellation Signis and is about 1,400 light years away. far from Earth, it was first observed as part of NASA's Kepler space telescope mission, which monitored thousands of stars for exoplanets by measuring their light curves or brightness variations, but while some stars exhibit slight dips In brightness caused by transiting planets, Tabby stars show dips of up to 20% or more, which is a significant change.

The unusual and erratic nature of the dimming led to several theories and captured the imagination of scientists and the public. Some of the possible explanations for this dimming include massive comment swarms, asteroid belts, and even mega aliens. structures known as Dyson spheres that could be built by advanced civilizations to harness the energy of a star. However, the idea of ​​alien megastructures, as exciting as it is, was met with skepticism by the scientific community and astronomers and astrophysicists are working to try to understand the phenomenon through more observations with ground-based telescopes. We have now led to the likely answer being that the dimming of the tiger star is probably caused by a cloud of dust and debris, but still the exact origin and nature of thismaterial remain uncertain.

Number eight: the re-shot structure moretum the re-shot structure that is often known as the eye of the Sahara, is a massive geological formation found deep in the remote Morania Desert in West Africa. When viewed from above, the structure appears as a huge circular depression measuring around 25 M or 40 km in diameter. The formation consists of concentrics. rings of alternating sedimentary rock layers with the innermost ring layer containing older rocks and the outer ring composed of younger ground-level deposits. It is so large that it is almost impossible to realize that you are inside a structure and the only clues we will see are occasional changes in color or rock types.

It was initially assumed to be an impact crater from a meteorite that had hit Earth from space, but scientists have shown that it is instead an example of a geological feature known as a dome. or an anticline, the structure was formed by the slow upward movement of the Earth's crust over millions of years, causing the rocks to bend and fold into this distinctive circular shape. However, we see that there is a problem with this explanation and that is the bullseye. The central depression has baffled scientists and geologists for years, as it was originally thought to be the result of erosion with the action of wind and water gradually wearing away the rock layers.

However, recent research has shown that this is not enough to explain its shape and size and that the central eye may have formed as a result of volcanic and hydrothermal activity followed by subsequent collapse and erosion, all of which has yet to be proven. Although more work is needed so far to fully understand what is possibly one of the most impressive natural formations on the planet and one that is so otherworldly that it has been proposed as a potential view to test Mars. rovers due to their resemblance to the Martian landscape, moving on to number seven, the Saraso Sea, Atlantic Ocean, there is still a lot we have to learn about the world's oceans, with research showing that while we once believed that They were giant masses of eddies and mixed water that are actually distinctly separate formations with very different temperatures, salinity levels, and oxygen levels.

An example of one of them is the Saraso Sea, a place that despite being known for centuries remains a mystery located in the North Atlantic Ocean. Known for its cobalt blue waters and vast expanses of floating golden-brown seaweed known as sasum, covering an estimated area of ​​1.4 million square miles or more than 4 million square kilometers, the Saraso Sea differs from the typical seas and oceans in which it lacks defined coasts and is instead surrounded by four powerful ocean currents, the North Atlantic Current to the north, the Canary Current to the east, the North Equatorial Current to the south and the Antilles Current to the south. west, these currents form a nearby stationary vortex known as the North Atlantic subtropical type that traps floating debris and seaweed within its boundaries, the most visible feature of the sea being sarasam algae, which form dense floating mats on the sea surface .

These growths provide vital habitat for a wide range of marine life, including fish, turtles and several species of invertebrates with the sargassum algae adapting to this unique environment with gas-filled bladders that help it stay buoyant. This sea is also known for its role as a breeding ground for several species of migratory marine animals, such as the Atlantic eel, European and American eels, all of which spawn in the Saraso Sea with their lara as part of their life cycles. drifting along the currents before finally returning to continental shores and then returning to the sea once they have matured to repeat the process with so much life within.

The Saraso SE is hugely important to the global ecosystem, from oxygen production to the life of countless species, but it is our lack of scientific understanding of it that is becoming a problem because it is not exactly clear how it formed, how continues to exist or what structures are there. vital to its survival, is making it more difficult to understand the impact that human activity is having on it and how to prevent further damage; For example, it contains the North Atlantic garbage patch and has worrying levels of plastic pollution inside, in addition to being a place where plastic-eating microbes have been discovered.

Volovar Mountain is the highest point in the region, reaching 1,369 feet or 417 m above sea level and is far from everywhere, with the nearest settlement 12 1/2 miles to the northwest, but that has not stopped it from being known as one of the most mysterious places in the country due to that this mountain is covered by a series of strange rock formations known as vavar stone mushrooms. They are large mushroom-shaped rocks, some reaching up to 30 feet or 9 m tall, and balanced precariously on thin stems. These were originally assumed to be man-made and had been created by various communities that lived in the regions hundreds or thousands of years ago, but recent research has begun to suggest that they are the result of natural processes, although the method by which This happens.

It remains a mystery, the main theory is that they were formed by glacial activity during the last ice age, as glaciers advanced and retreated and put tremendous pressure on the underlying bedrock, causing it to fracture and erode. Over thousands of years, the softer rock around the fractures eroded. Leaving the mushroom-shaped structures behind, another theory suggests that the rocks may have been formed by more recent events, such as seismic activity or the influence of underground rivers, local Karelians and the Sami have long considered the mountain as a sacred place and they believe that there is a spiritual place. meaning to stone mushrooms and the mountain itself according to folklore stone mushrooms are the work of giants who once roamed the earth and are said to have magical properties number five the lights hdan Norway there are many places around the world where people We report seeing strange lights in the sky, but often these sightings cannot be proven in the first place, let alone what could be causing them.

However, there is one place where strange orbs definitely occur, but even though they have been documented for decades, we are still no closer to understanding them, known as Hallin lights because they are a phenomenon in the remote Hallin Valley in Norway. They manifest as glowing orbs or elongated flashes of light that float and dart across the night sky. It is the most significant and best in the world. Documented case of inexplicable aerial phenomenon often related to UFO sightings. The first confirmed sightings of Hy and its lights date back to the early 1980s, although some reports suggest that they were seen as early as the 1930s and that, rather than being an occasional event, they occur on a regular basis, with some Witnesses reporting nighttime events in response, scientists and researchers have developed a variety of equipment to study them, including cameras, spectrographs, magnetometers and radars, and although they have been caught on camera, the exact nature and cause of these lights remain uncertain. for several years.

Suggestions have been put forward that they could be the result of ionized gas or plasma created by geological activity in the region. The valley has large deposits of metallic minerals that could potentially contribute to the generation of such phenomena, but this has not yet been proven. Surely another possibility is that they are related to pazo electricity, a phenomenon in which mechanical stress generates an electrical charge in certain minerals. The geological features of the valley and the changing bedrock could create the conditions necessary to produce discharges from Paso Electric for now, although without explanation. The area has become a popular site for UFO enthusiasts and the tourism industry in the valley is thriving due to those who wish to see the lights for themselves and even if the mystery is eventually solved, it will likely remain a destination for Anyone interested in strange phenomena like this number four, the Devil's Sea, Pacific Ocean, everyone now knows the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, where strange lights and events have supposedly affected ships and planes for centuries, and although the region has now The case is not the only place where world oceans like this are linked to such mysterious events, there is another called Devil's Sea or Dragon's Triangle and it is in the Pacific Ocean between the Japanese coast, the island of Guam and the Bonan Islands such as the Bermuda Triangle.

It has been the source of countless legends and stories often involving the disappearance of ships and planes. One of the most famous stories from the area is that of the USS Cyclops, a massive United States Navy cargo ship that disappeared without a trace in 1918. The ship and its 309 crew members disappeared without sending a signal. relief leaving behind one of the greatest maritime mysteries in history To date, the fate of the USS Cyclops remains unknown, as well as disappearances, there have been numerous reports of other strange things, such as unusual magnetic anomalies, erratic compus. readings of electronic equipment failures and strange lights in the sky, these stories have further fueled speculation about the existence of supreme forces, underwater volcanoes and even extraterrestrial activity in the region.

Scientific explanations for what is happening here are varied and often depend on the specific incidents that some experts are investigating. They connect the disappearances of ships and planes to the region's unpredictable weather, including sudden and violent storms, typhoons and waterspouts, while the magnetic anomalies may be related to geological features such as underwater volcanoes or faults in an additional gyre, the sea. del diablo is located quite close to the volcanic. Mariana Trench is one of the deepest places on the planet and is known for its own mysteries, including unexplored underwater caves and geothermal vents. These factors, combined with the region's challenging weather conditions, could contribute to what is happening on surface number three, Saturn's hexagonal storm as the second.

The largest planet in our solar system and the one with the most defined rings around it. Saturn is of great interest to researchers, especially those who want to understand how it formed and what it really is like. The more we study it, the more unusual it appears to be and there is something about its North Pole that has so far completely stumped the world of science, first discovered by the Voyager spacecraft in its path in the early 1980s and subsequently seen by others in the following decades, there is what appears to be a persistent storm and unusually it is almost perfect.

Hexagonal in shape with around 20,000 Mi or 32 km in diameter, which is about 2 and 1/2 times the diameter of Earth, the shape is believed to be formed by the planet's powerful jet streams where winds can reach speeds up to 200 Mi or 320 kph. These jet streams create a six-sided pattern that rotates synchronously with Saturn's interior and takes approximately 10 hours and 39 minutes to complete one full rotation. However, this is only the main theory and has not yet been proven with another being that is the result of interactions. Between Saturn's atmospheric layers and its rotation, as the planet spins at different speeds, a complex and stable wave pattern is created resulting in the hexagonal shape.

Another idea is that the formation of the storm may be the result of the Coriolis effect caused by the planet's rotation. and the movement of the atmosphere, this can produce polygonal shapes in rotating fluids and could be responsible for the hexagonal pattern observed in the atmosphere. The Cassini hyan spacecraft that orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 provided scientists with a wealth of data and images of this hexagonal pattern. storm among many other things and helped researchers gain a deeper understanding of Saturn's atmosphere and the dynamics of its climate, although many questions remain, including why the storm exhibits a range of colors in its cloud bands, from deep blue to gold and beige, there is clearly much more. to learn about our solar system as we continue to search in a more distant field and hopefully the next mission to the planet will finally help find some answers number two.

Humming New Mexico, T City in New Mexico is like any other for most. people who visit it, but for some people there is a strange sound that Echoes, known as T hum, usuallyIt is described as a low-pitched sound that resembles a distant diesel engine idling or the hum of a subwoofer. People who hear it often report feeling vibrations and an uneasy feeling; strangely, not everyone can hear it and those who do often cannot identify its source. Reports of this phenomenon date back to the early 1990s, when a group of Residents in t began to complain about an incessant low-frequency noise and over the years the phenomenon gained media attention and sparked curiosity.

Various scientific and research techniques have been used to try to discover what it is, including noise measurements, acoustic studies, and even government agency investigations, but despite these efforts no definitive source or explanation has been found. Several theories have been put forward. Some suggest it may be the result of mining operations or military activities in the region; However, research has failed to link the phenomenon to any specific man-made source, leading to further research it could be related to natural processes. such as seismic activity or the movement of underground fluids, there is also no certainty that the hum exists and psychological factors are also analyzed in case it is a form of mass hysteria, but again no evidence can be found, the biggest problem is that for those who hear If the tinnitus can have a serious impact on their lives, preventing them from being able to sleep or experiencing higher levels of stress until they find an answer, the best thing they can do is move to another location and avoid it altogether.

Number one, the Nasca lines, Peru, ancient civilizations around the world Huge geoglyphs are known to be created in the landscape, but perhaps there are none as strange and mysterious as the Nzca lines in Peru, made up of hundreds of intricate designs and colossal that range from simple geometric shapes to complex representations of animals, plants and humanoid figures that cover. an area of ​​174 square miles and were created by the NASA people who thrived in the region between 200 BC. C. and 600 AD. To make them, they removed the reddish-brown iron oxide-coated pebbles that cover the NASA Desert to reveal the light-colored Earth beneath and have remained remarkably preserved for over a thousand years due to the extremely dry and stable climate of area.

Among the most famous nasal figures are the hummingbird, the spider, the monkey and the condor and the largest of the known geoglyphs. As the astronaut or the space man has provoked intrigue due to its resemblance to a figure in a space suit, What the purpose of them is, although it remains a debate among scholars and some believe that the lines and figures had ceremonial, religious or astronomical meaning to the people at NASA. They may have served as part of a ritual irrigation system or markers of groundwater sources. While others suggest that they were used as an astronomical calendar or as a way to communicate with deities in the sky, what is particularly strange is that they are undoubtedly best seen from the air, but people at the time they were They made me have no way of seeing them from this elevation.

It is not entirely clear how they were able to conceive the plan and carry out the work to create the geoglyphs solely from ground level. and it makes you wonder if the people at NASA had access to technology that was long lost to history. See you next time, thanks to our channel members.
