Mythical Book for scientists


Dear Scientist,
In this book you will find the list of world’s most mythical and eerie mysteries. This book is made for scientists, so if you are not a scientist you shouldn’t read this book. If you are a scientist then you need to know what things you can do your research about and maybe you will even find a new type of animals or prove that the mysterious animals are just a myth. This book will also provide the information that we already know about objects and places.

1.          Roswell UFO
The sceptic journalist Ruth Bradley was asked to go on the UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. There she visited key-sites where the UFO cases unfolded.

      Secondly, the group wandered to the building 84 where the remains of the aircraft were examined. “It was an impressive sight” – journalist says. The witnesses said that aircraft was made of a material light as plastic, strong as steel, impossible to burn and covered in hieroglyphics.
      Thirdly, tourists visited the town of Socorro where Lonnie Zamora reported about an oval-shaped object with two small creatures inside.

2.    Bigfoot and the other creatures
The Loren Coleman – museum owner, our fellow scientist, cryptozoologist. He spent his whole life trying to find all of the legendary beasts such as yetis, lake monsters, giant snakes and chupacabras.
The cryptozoologist was trying to find an evidence of the creature’s existence such as footprints, hair samples, scratches, audio tapes of screeches, videos and photos by camping all over the continent and abroad.
3.        Haunted Buildings in London

First of all, the Tower of London has a long, cruel story of imprisonment, trials, executions and torture. There are numerous stories of ghostly goings-on in the Tower of London.

4.        Mysterious places
First of all, in New Mexico people are constantly hearing “the Hum”. Investigators have suggested that noise is caused by sounds produced naturally by the ear or by waves crashing together on the ocean floor.

Finally, the Black Mountain in Australia is formed from volcanic magma and made up of a labyrinth of massive black boulders.

5.        Reviving
When the last Pyrenean ibex died the species became extinct, but scientists have already preserved the DNA samples. Using those samples and a domestic goat’s ovary eggs they have revived the Pyrenean ibex for 7 minutes. The scientists say that there is nothing to stop people bringing back dinosaurs.

6.        The Tunguska event
It was around 7 am on 30th June 1908 when suddenly there was an explosion in the skies above the Podkamennay Tunguska River. Most experts now believe that a comet or an asteroid ripped through the sky, heated the air and eventually exploded.
