For almost 200 years of photography has been. The ten most mysterious pictures in the world. The most mysterious photos

Over the almost 200-year history of photography, several unique shots have been taken that no one can still explain. (Next 10 mysterious stories)

In 2004, the Opportunity rover discovered curious microscopic spherical formations on the Martian soil. However, an even more curious picture was taken by Opportunity at the end of 2012, which clearly shows a much larger number of much larger spheres.

These hematite spheres 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 image is considered by many to be the result of working with Photoshop. But few people know that the French photographer Robert le Serrec took this unknown giant sea animal back in 1965, and this photo became the subject of heated discussions among zoologists.

The first photograph of an unknown object, called the Black Knight, was taken in 1960 by one of the first satellites of the Earth. In polar orbit, an unidentified object is clearly visible, which could not be either a satellite of the USSR or a satellite of the USA. Since then, this object has been seen repeatedly - 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 shots was STS088-724-66. Enlarging the image makes it possible to examine the object in more detail. After careful study, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a piece of artificial origin.

On November 22, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was shot dead in Dallas, Texas. During the analysis of photographs taken at the scene of the murder, experts drew attention to a mysterious woman in a light brown raincoat and headscarf. She appears in many pictures and almost always holds a camera in her hands. The FBI was looking for this woman for a long time, but could not identify her.

On the DVD of the Collector's Edition of Charlie Chaplin's Circus, a short film about the 1928 premiere was added as a bonus. One of the shots shows a woman holding what looks like a mobile phone in her hand. Belfast-based film director George Clark said he considered the footage to be proof of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that a woman holds 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 educators, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Fires.

On a clear night, Björn Hauge made this 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 Hessdalen Lights. 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. The identity and fate of this man remained a mystery. But this photo was published in almost all major publications in the world, and the unknown rebel himself became a symbol of resistance to the authorities.

In 1964, the family of British Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth, where he decided to take a picture of his five-year-old daughter with Kodak. The Templetons claimed that there was no one else in these marshy places except them. And when the pictures were developed, one of them showed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl's back. The analysis showed that the photo was not subjected to any changes.

This is a group photo of the Goddard squadron that fought in the First World War. It contains one intriguing detail: at the very top, behind one of the officers, you can see the face in which the squadron members recognized their former mechanic Freddie Jackson, who died two days before this picture was taken. And on the day when the squadron was photographed, Jackson's funeral took place.

What you see above is a photograph of the Moon's surface, numbered AS17-136-20680, which was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. It was listed as "exposed" in the photo catalog. She clearly suffered from excessive light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, structures resembling pyramids were captured on it.

17.11.2014

Secrets and mysticism always attract people. This is not surprising - the very existence of life on Earth, and even with intelligent beings, is a complete mystery and mysticism.

Here are collected 11+1 photos and videos that are not fully understood even by experts. True, while this selection was being prepared, it was possible to find the solution to one mystery (with the “Black Prince”). Maybe you can figure out all the rest?

12. Lady Babushka (The Babushka Lady)

On November 22, 1963, shots rang out in Dallas at 12:30. Most of the people filming the president's motorcade on camera rushed to run. However, one of the women, whose face was hidden under a headscarf, continued to film for some time after the shots were fired. Then she crossed Elm Street and blended into the crowd.

After the murder law enforcement appealed to the public with a request to provide them with all amateur videos made that day. But the video taken by Lady Grandmother has not been found.

The police tried to track down the woman, hoping that her footage would be decisive evidence, but to this day she has not been found. She received such a nickname due to the fact that she was wrapped in a scarf resembling the headdresses of Russian elderly women.

11 Solway Firth Astronaut

In 1964, the family of Briton Jim Templeton was walking near the Solway Firth. The head of the family decided to take a picture of his five-year-old daughter with Kodak. The Templetons claimed that there was no one else in these marshy places except them. And when the pictures were developed, one of them showed a strange figure peeking out from behind the girl. The analysis showed that the photo was not subjected to any changes.

10. Lights of Hessdalen

In 1907, a group of educators, students and scientists set up a scientific camp in Norway to study a mysterious phenomenon called the Hessdalen Fires.

9. An unexpected guest in the Cooper family

The Cooper family has just moved into their new home in Texas. In honor of the housewarming, a festive table was laid, at the same time we decided to take some family photos. And when the pictures were developed, a strange figure appeared on them - it seems that someone's body is either hanging or falling from the ceiling. Of course, the Coopers did not see anything like this during the shooting.

8. "Alien" in Earth's orbit

This is how this story is described on all the Internet sites that publish collections of pictures and love to fool readers for a couple of clicks:

“... For the first time, an image of an unknown object, called the Black Prince, was taken in 1960 by one of the first satellites of the Earth. In polar orbit, an unidentified object is clearly visible, which could not be either a satellite of the USSR or a satellite of the USA. Since then, this object has been seen repeatedly - it appears and disappears at certain time intervals. After carefully studying the images of the object, scientists are inclined to believe that this is a piece of artificial origin.

This story is actually as simple as three pennies. No, the picture is real. It was taken during the STS-88 flight of the Endeavor spacecraft in 1998. Here it is, in high resolution.

During one of the astronauts' spacewalks, a thermal blanket was lost. One side is silver, the other side is black. It slowly moved away, taking on bizarre shapes, and several photographs were taken. Without knowing the origin of the object, you can name anything. But, fortunately for the astronauts and unfortunately for the mysterious story, it was not an alien satellite.

6 Sir Goddard's Squadron (1919, published 1975)

Behind one of the aviators, you can clearly see the face of another person. Squadron members claim it is the face of Freddie Jackson, an aircraft mechanic who died in an accident two days before filming. His funeral took place on the day the group photo was taken.

5. The mobile phone in a Charlie Chaplin movie

Some consider these footage proof of the existence of time travelers. Many are inclined to believe that a woman holds an auditory tube in her hand. But then it is not clear why she smiles and says something to her.

Curious, if it's a cell phone, who is she talking to?

4. Another Time Traveler

This photo was taken in 1941 during the opening of the South Forks Bridge. Attention was drawn to a young man who was considered by many to be a "time traveler" - because of his modern hairstyle, zip-up sweater, printed T-shirt, fashionable glasses and a soap camera. The whole outfit is clearly not from the 40s. On the left, a camera is highlighted in red, which was actually in use at that time.

3. Ghosts of “Watertown”

In December 1924, the American tanker Watertown was heading from the coast of California to New Orleans through the Panama Canal when two sailors, Courtney and Meehan, suffocated from oil fumes. Their bodies were buried at sea off the coast of Mexico.

The next day the first mate saw two faces on the port side of the waves. He immediately recognized them as two dead sailors. Faces appeared again and again every day, and in fact all members of the team saw them many times. Upon arrival in New Orleans, Captain Tracy reported what had happened to the shipping company and was instructed to photograph them.

When the ghostly faces reappeared, Captain Tracy took a picture of them. In one frame, faces were clearly visible. The Bureau of Investigation, which was asked to check the negative, found no evidence of falsification.

2 Pyramids On The Moon

What you see below is a photograph of the Moon's surface, numbered AS17-136-20680, which was taken as part of the Apollo 17 mission. It was listed as "exposed" in the photo catalog. She clearly suffered from excessive light exposure. However, after working with the contrast of this image, it turned out that in fact, structures resembling pyramids were captured on it.

1. The mysterious death of Eliza Lam

This is, as we say - mystics, fresh. The story shook America in early 2013. Young Elisa Lam, a tourist from Canada, arrived in Los Angeles on January 26 and stayed at the affordable Cecile Hotel in the city center. The 21-year-old Canadian of Chinese descent was an exemplary daughter, calling her parents daily and talking about all her adventures while traveling in the United States.

However, shortly after her arrival in the City of Angels, the calls stopped. On January 31, Eliza was seen for the last time - she went to a bookstore near the hotel to buy souvenirs for her relatives, returned to Cecil, rode the elevator - she was recorded by a camera in the cab - and ... disappeared without a trace.

Eliza's footprints were discovered on February 19, when hotel guests began to complain to the staff about the quality of the water. The liquid in the taps darkened, the pressure weakened, a strange aftertaste appeared ... The employees climbed to the roof, where the water supply system is located in American skyscrapers. There, in a tightly closed tank, naked Eliza was found, who at that time had been looking for her parents together with the police for two weeks.

The biggest mystery in this case is the January 31st video of Eliza in the hotel elevator. She presses the same combination of buttons multiple times in a row, runs out of the elevator, hides, wrings her hands, talking to someone out of camera view - or to herself. Having left on the fourteenth floor (her room was located on the fourth), the girl no longer returns to the elevator.

Interesting results came from the pathologist. According to him, no known drugs and hallucinogens, alcohol were found in the tissues of the tourist. Also, there were no signs of any violence against her: there were no blows, abrasions, signs of a struggle. Moreover, it was established that death occurred in the water - she choked, but did not try to avoid it.

Based on the results of the autopsy, a decision was made - the case was closed, the death was declared an accident. How Eliza got on the roof, how to explain her strange behavior before the loss - and apparently death - all these questions are no longer of interest to the police.

Hollywood also became interested in this story and announced in early 2014 that a film based on the mysterious death of Lam would be released in 2015.

Over the almost 200-year history of photography, several unique shots have been taken that no one can still explain.

The father photographed the child and did not notice anything unusual, but when he showed the negatives, he saw ....

These hematite spheres could mean that there was water on the Red Planet in the past.

But we hope that one day, thanks to research and science, they will be able to unravel.

But there is a high probability that many questions will remain unanswered.

Here are some photos that may be confusing.

The most mysterious photos

1The woman in the brown coat during the Kennedy assassination

A woman in a brown coat or Lady Granny", as the FBI later called her, 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 at a very important vantage point 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 mysterious observer.

None of the photographs from the scene of the murder captured her face, and the video she filmed has not been located, despite requests from law enforcement.

2. The death of the Dyatlov group

In 1959, nine Soviet tourists died mysteriously in the Ural Mountains. The photo you see was taken by the rescue team. According to the lifeguards, the tourists cut the tent and ran out barefoot into the snow trying to run away from something.

Six tourists died from hypothermia, two from fractures of the sternum, and one from a severe head injury. In addition, one tourist was missing the language. Another strange fact was high radioactivity of clothing Dyatlov group.

The Phoenix Lights are a series of bright, still lights seen 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 the exercise. However, experts have denied this. Moreover, they reappeared over Phoenix in 2007 and 2008. An explanation for this phenomenon has never been found.

4 Solway Firth Astronaut

Englishman Jim Templeton(Jim Templeton) took this photo of his daughter on a walk in 1964. When he took the photo, he did not 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 behind his daughter in the photograph, like an astronaut. But no one was around at the time Templeton took the photo, and Kodak confirmed that the photo had not been altered.

5 Mysterious Thumb

In this photograph of four children, the boy in black has a thumb on the right side of his ear that does not belong to any of the children.

6. Satellite "Black Knight"

According to some assumptions, there is an ancient dark object called the Black Knight satellite, which is located in Earth orbit for the last 13,000 years.

No one knows how he got there, and his purpose. This photo was taken by the US Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station in 1998.

In these photos of the gaping hole that was created when the 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 the hole, waving for help.

The woman was identified as Edna Cintron, but no one has been able to explain how she was able to survive after the plane crashed into the building.

8 The Falcon Lake Incident

May 20, 1967 Stefan Michalak(Stefan Michalak) was in the forest near Falcon Lake in Manitoba, Canada, when he saw two cigar-shaped UFOs. When the door of one of the objects opened, Michalak heard voices and tried to speak to the creatures inside. But as he approached the door, he could make out nothing but a "maze of lights."

Suddenly the door aircraft closed and the object rose, blasting hot air at the man through the grille, which caused his clothes to catch fire.

At the hospital, the doctors were extremely surprised lattice pattern of burns on the chest victim, which can be seen in the photo.

9. Time Traveler

This photo 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 photo.

But if you look closely, you can see that one the man in the photo is dressed quite modern, he wears fashionable dark glasses, and he has a modern camera in his hands.

For comparison, in the circled circle on the left, we see a man with a camera typical of that time.

10. Madonna with Saint Giovannino

This is one of the most famous unexplained images of all time. While attention is focused on Mary in the painting, something strange can be seen hovering over her left shoulder.

The object is very similar to a UFO, and below you can see a man with a dog, who are looking up at a flying saucer.

11 Skunk Monkey

In 2000, an unidentified woman took two photographs of what was believed to be a skunk monkey and mailed them to the Florida Sheriff's Department. In the letter, she wrote that she photographed the monster in her yard, coming three times at night for apples she had left on the back porch. Bigfoot hunters have named the creature the "skunk monkey" because of its resemblance and unpleasant odor.

12. Mobile phone in a Chaplin film

In the DVD tracks of Charlie Chaplin's The Circus, people could watch a short film and photos of the film's premiere in 1928, where one can see a woman who appears to be talking on a cell phone.

Director George Clark stated that this is proof of the existence of time travelers. Some have suggested that the woman used an eustachian tube, but this does not explain why she is talking on the apparatus.

13. UFO at the bottom of the Baltic Sea

In 2012, a Swedish research team discovered a mysterious 18-meter disc at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. This object, apparently created by sentient beings, looked like spaceship from Star Wars.
