What do you think about this?
On November 17, 1986, a Japan Airlines cargo 747 was flying over Alaska at night when the crew noticed lights pacing them. The captain, a veteran with thousands of hours in the air, described two smaller craft that darted around his jumbo jet, and then something enormous behind them, a dark shape he said was larger than an aircraft carrier, blotting out the stars. It stayed with them for the better part of an hour across hundreds of miles of Alaskan sky.
Here is what makes this one hard to wave away. Air traffic control in Anchorage, and by some accounts military radar, picked up a return near the plane. The FAA opened a formal investigation. The captain never backed down from his account, and it effectively ended his flying career.
The truth may be far stranger than we have been told.
Ice crystals and a trick of light on a tired crew, or a genuine unknown that shadowed a 747 for an hour and showed up on radar? What do you think the crew of Flight 1628 saw over Alaska?
What do you think about this? Edgar Cayce gave over 14,000 trance readings, all written down and still on file. He said proof of Atlantis would rise near Bimini in 1968. That year divers found a half mile road of giant stone blocks there. True seer, or lucky guess?
What do you think about this? Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky built a 500 foot tunnel just to move its dead out of sight of the living. It closed in 1961. Visitors still report a boy rolling a ball across empty floors. Restless spirits, or a dark building playing tricks on the mind?
What do you think about this? In 1891, a poor French priest named Bérenger Saunière began tearing up his church floor, then spent the next two decades funding lavish buildings on a stipend that should not have covered it. Real treasure, or a secret about how he ran his church?
What do you think about this? Puma Punku’s H-shaped stone blocks, cut from andesite by a culture dating to roughly 600 CE, are flat to within a couple millimeters, with no known metal tools hard enough to do it. Lost technique, or something we haven’t caught up to yet?
What do you think about this? The Georgia Guidestones were commissioned anonymously in 1979 by a man calling himself R.C. Christian, and no one ever learned his real name before the monument was bombed on July 6, 2022. Message, or a monument that did not deserve to stand?
What do you think about this? Pacifica’s Devil’s Slide has swallowed sections of Highway 1 since 1937, and a WWII watch bunker still perched on its cliff edge has sat abandoned there since 1949. Geology, or a stretch of coast that keeps trying to shrug people off?
