Meet the Rosalia Lombardo, she is known as the "Sleeping Beauty". Back in the 1900's people who passed away were sometimes embalmed in a particular way, in order to stay well preserved for many years. Alfrede Salafia, was one of the best people who embalmed the bodies keeping the body intact after passing away, as Rosalia Lombardo is considered to be the best embalmed mummy maintaining her original appearance.
After passing away due to pneumonia, something very strange happened to her which drew massive attention within the media. The myth about a "Sleeping Beauty" has been hunting our minds for decades, as the girl who has passed away in the year in the 1920's still manages to open and close her eyes. Some say she is still alive, however I doubt that it is it possible for someone to survive for such a long time!
According to Dario Piombino-Mascali, who is the curator of the Capuchin Catacombs in Sicily, there is no chance that this Myth could be true. He stated that the pictures taken were illustrated different, due to "an optical illusion produced by the light that filters through the side windows, which during the day is subject to change”
I really would like to believe the phenomenon Piombino-Mascali is describing is fake, however if you view the images above they look very real! We would like to invite you to share your opinions about Rasalia Lombardo, this topic remains very freaky!
Everybody has a list of which places they want to visit before they die, places you don't know yet. But there are a few places not everybody knows about which aren't particularly famous or beautiful but more very mysterious.
1. The Mayans and the End of the World!!!
The Maya's are a population from the south of Mexico and North of Central America. For over decades the Maya's did their own calculations and used their own calendars. And these calculations are the finest we've ever seen in human history. The Maya's calendar ended exactly on December 21, 2012. So was it is the end? yes in the end? but also a new beginning the Maya's said.
According to the Mayan's the biggest chances of the world's ending are the TSUNAMI'S, NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS, WORLD WIDE CRISIS & etc... The MAYA "DOOMSDAY" Calendar! 2. The ATLANTIS
Everybody heard of the story, the mysterious sunken island of Atlantis. The only information we have about this island is a map and small story from philosopher Plato.
3. The Bermuda Triangle
This one of my favorite, The Bermuda Triangle. It's a large triangle between Florida, the Bermuda Islands and Puerto Rico. This place won the mysterious name because strange things started to happen from the beginning of 1920. A lot of ships and boats just disappeared from the radar when they were in the triangle.
There are o lot of eyewitnesses who saw the strangest things over
there like UFO's, strong magnetic fields, other dimensions and sea monsters. We don't know if the answers to these stories are real, it's up to you to judge about it.
4. The Stone Hedge
This is a big wall from stone close to Amesbury, England. There isn't a place like this so many people are talking about it's great mysteries. If you look to it as a monument it's beautiful and amazing, especially at sunset.
But the myth is ever more beautiful, these rocks are in a perfect circle more than 5000 years. Okay so we know this now, BUT how this people created this circle of stones in the time they lived is un-explainable. Some of these stones weigh more than 26 tons. Even with the machines we have nowadays it is a tough job.
5. Easter Island
On the coast of Chili there is a island called Easter Island. There is a lot of beautiful stuff to see on the island, but also a big mystery.
The are multiple stone statues which are way too high to be build by humans in that time, they're called: Moai. Nobody really knows exactly why they're built and by who.
The 1990 movie EDWARD SCISSORHANDS has had a brush
with science. Researchers discovered a pincered marine’s animal that lived 500
million years ago and named it after Johnny Depp- The actor who played Scissor
hands. Called KOOTENICHELA DEPPI, it
likely used its claw like extremities for foraging. K.Deppi is the ancestor of
all arthropods, says paleobiologist
David Legg, “a group that’s conquered most of
Earth’s ecosystem , including the depths of the mariana trench and the slopes
of Mount Everest.
EXTINCTIONS, The disappearance of a species from the living world, is a natural event. But at five times in Earth's history, at least 50 percent of all species have died out in the mass extinction events. What causes these catastrophes? Are we in the middle of a sixth wave? The five great extinctions, in chronological order, were: Ordovician-silurian (About 440 million years ago): 85 percent of marine species. Cause unknown: possibly the migration of the super-continent Gondwana.
Late Devonian (359 Mya): 75 percent of species, particularly corals. Cause unknown: possibly a comet or asteroid impact. Permian (266-251mya): 95 percent of marine species and 70
percent of land species. Causes unknown: possibly impacts from space or volcanic eruptions. End-Triassic (200 mya): 76 percent of all species . Cause unknown: possibly huge volcanic eruptions. Cretaceous-Tertiary (65 mya): 80 percent of all species, including
dinosaurs. Cause probably an Asteroid impact.
Most biologist agree that we are now in midst of a sixth great extinction, with a rate up to 80 times higher than normal. If unchecked, 75 percent of earth's species are on track to become extinct within the next 300 years. The cause this time? loss of habitat, pollution, introduction of nonnative species, and climate change are top factors, all linked to human activity. "At least 50 percent of all species have died out in mass extinction events."
The giant CHELONOIDIS ABINGDONI TORTOISE "Lonesome
George" may have been the last of his kind when he died in 2012.
The Llangernyw yew, spreading it's branches over a graveyard in Wales, saw Britain's Bronze Age. The Bristlecone pine known as Methuselah, in Califonia's Inyo Forest, is even older at 4,765 years, possibly the world's oldest individual tree. The Pando aspen colony in Utah makes them look like springs, however . Considered a single living organism, because its genetically identical stems spring from a single root system, the aspen colony is at least 80,000 years old. By some estimates, it may be as much as one million years old.
How do trees defy the aging process that all life should be heir to? According to scientists, they have advantages the human body lacks. Their genes don't seem to mutate or become damaged over timer, they retain stem cell-like cells with each growth cycle; their vascular system allow a portion of the tree to survive if another part dies; they can replace damaged organs; and some can form clones, as in the case of the Pando
Aspens. Why can't researchers be definite about the Pando Aspens colony's age? Lacking tree rings, observers make estimates based upon what they know of aspen growth rates. Other, older aspens colonies may yet be found in western United States. Scientists are also learning to regenerate ancient plants- in 2012, a Russian team reported that it had grown a delicate Siberian Flower from 32,000 years-old seeds.

THERE IS NO DOUBT
that UFO truly exists, if we go by the strict meaning of the term “Unidentified
flying object.” Whether the way sightings of UFOs over the years include alien
spaceships is questionable.
Mysterious
aerial objects have been reported since ancient times, but the trickle of
reports swelled into a flood in the ages of flight. In 1896 and 1897, for
instance, west coast residents from San Francisco to Tacoma, Washington,
reported a bright, circular shaped dirigible object wandering slowly overhead.
Sightings increased in years after World War II.
An eyewitness sketch of the "airship" over sacramento November 17, 1896
The Mystery Airship of 1896
What the strange Airship seen in 1896??
Eighteen ninety-six was marked by a strange
occurrence, an amazing phenomenon that those that saw it probably never forgot.
People, by the thousands, living across North America, from San Francisco to
Chicago, observed strange lights in the sky. The lights, reportedly an airship,
crossed the continent from west to east while the country watched.
The excitement started on November 17, 1896 in
Sacramento, California. It was a rainy, dismal night. Then, through the dark
clouds, appeared a bright light. It moved slowly west appearing to be about a
thousand feet above the rooftops. Hundreds of people saw the light including
George Scott, an assistant to the Secretary of State of California. Scott
persuaded some friends to join him on the observation deck above the capitol
dome and from there they thought they could see three lights, not one. Above
the lights was a dark, oblong shape.
The most detailed report of the evening came from
one R.L. Lowery, a former street railway employee who said he heard a voice
from above call, "Throw her up higher; she'll hit the steeple." When
he looked up he saw two men seated on a bicycle-like frame, peddling. Above
them was a "cigar-shaped body of some length." Lowery said that the
thing also had "wheels at the side like the side wheels on Fulton's old
steam boat."

Strange Tale of
Sacramento Men Not Addicted to Prevarication
Viewed an Aerial
Courser as it Passes Over the City at Night.
WHAT WAS IT?
The title "airship" soon stuck. Other
papers were more reserved and reported a "mysterious light" or
"wandering apparition." A few ridiculed the stories suggesting that
the whole thing had been a hoax or the result of a natural effect like glowing
swamp gas. The story soon faded.
Then, five days after its first appearance, the
"airship" came back.
It was Sunday night and weather conditions were as
before: dark and overcast. The light appeared from the northwest and when
straight over the town, running against the wind. One witness, Jacob Zemansky,
had a small telescope and reported the lamp was "an electric arc light of
intense power." He also observed that the light didn't move in a straight
line, but seemed to bob in the wind up and down. Another witness with field
glasses, Edward Carragher, reported seeing a dark body above the light.
It took thirty minutes for the thing to cross the
city and disappear to the southwest. During this time thousands of people
observed it including the city's deputy sheriff and a district attorney.
That same night the "airship" also
appeared above San Francisco some 90 miles away. There it was observed by
hundreds, including the mayor. It cruised as far as the Pacific Ocean, above
the famous Cliff House, where its searchlight, a beam that stretched out over
500 feet, reportedly frightened the seals on Seal Rock sending them plunging
into the safety of the sea.
Over the next few days airship sightings were made
not just in California, but from as far away as Washington State and Canada.
The newspapers went wild, some supporting the idea of an airship, some
ridiculing it. Stories began to suggest that the airship was the work of a
mysterious inventor who was testing his device at night lest his ideas be
stolen. This didn't seem outrageous to most people. Balloons capable of
carrying people had been around for almost a hundred years and it seemed that
the key to powered flight might soon be discovered.
One San Francisco attorney, nicknamed
"Airship" Collins, claimed that he was
representing the eccentric and
wealthy inventor who had constructed the thing at a secret location in Oroville,
just sixty miles north of Sacramento. According to Collins the airship was 150
feet long, and could carry 15 passengers. "It was built on the aeroplane
system and has two canvas wings 18 feet wide and a rudder shaped like a bird's
tail," he told people, "I saw the thing ascend about 90 feet under
perfect control." When the mysterious inventor never appeared Collins
found himself the object of ridicule and he backed off his earlier claims.
Another San Francisco attorney took his place,
though, claiming that there was not one airship, but two, and they would be
used to bomb Havana. William Henry Hart, a former attorney general, stated,
"From what I have seen of it I have not the least doubt that it will carry
four men and 1,000 pounds of dynamite." Hart's airship never was made
public either and by early December the lawyer, as well as the lights in the
sky, had disappeared from the scene.
Everything was quiet for two months. Then, on
February 2, 1897, the "airship" showed itself over the town of Hastings,
Nebraska. On February 5th it was seen forty miles further south near the town
of Invale. Reports started to flow in from all over the state. On February 16th
it was sighted over Omaha. More stories appeared. A farmer claimed he'd
encountered the airship on the ground, under repair. "It is cigar shaped,
about 200 feet long and 50 feet across at the widest point, gradually narrowing
to a point at both ends," the farmer said.
Soon the airship had been sighted all over the
mid-west including in Texas, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. More stories about
encounters with the crew on the ground appeared. Finally in April the
excitement reached it's zenith when the "airship" arrived in Chicago.
On April 11th a photograph of the thing was reportedly taken, probably the
first UFO photo in existence. Some experts pronounced the photo to be fake.
On April 15, near Kalamazoo, Michigan, there were
reports that the airship had crashed and exploded. "They declare the
report to have been like that of heavy ordnance and to have been immediately
succeeded by a distant sound of projectiles flying through the air,"
a
newspaper story proclaimed.
Despite this, airship sightings continued for a few
more days. Some expected the thing to continue on to the east coast, but
instead reports about it suddenly faded and by the end of April the flap was
over.
So what was it? What was this thing that had
apparently been seen by thousands of people across the west and mid-west? There
were no airplanes then. The Wight Brothers didn't make their first, short
flight till 1903. Neither did a working model of a powereddirigible, which airship descriptions most closely resemble,
exist.
One likely culprit is the planet Venus. At the time the sightings started it was prominent in
the sky. When the sightings stopped it was becoming increasingly less visible.
Venus is the brightest object in the sky, except for the Sun and Moon, and
under unusual atmospheric conditions can appear to move, blink, or look like
multiple colored lights. It well may have been responsible for many of the
reports.
What about the many stories with people meeting the
crew or seeing the airship crash? It's hard for us to imagine, in our day and
age of radio and television, how much a part of 19th century entertainment
centered on the tall tale and the hoax. Journalistic hoaxes, even in the largest
newspapers, were standard fare. Readers were expected to guess about which
stories were true and which were fictional. Almost every small town had a
"lair club" where tall tales were swapped. (Alexander Hamilton's
famous "Cownapping" storycame
out of the airship flap). As a result of these two institutions almost any
unusual tale in a 19th century newspaper can be in doubt.
In addition, as today, practical jokers did not
hesitate to send balloons lighted with candles into the sky, or kites with
lanterns, if they thought they could put one over on the public. Others may
have created "crash" sites complete with debris. One newspaper, the
PeoriaTranscript, sent up lighted, colored, paper balloons to
"test" people's imaginations. A number of "airship" sightings
was the result.
So if we remove the misidentifications and hoaxes
from the airship phenomenon is there anything left? Could it have been an
extra-terrestrial spaceship? One of the most striking things about the airship
flap was that almost none of the stories surrounding it have anything to do
with extra-terrestial beings. (The story of a crash of a Mars airship at Aurora, Texas, was an exception). The airship was piloted by
"plain" Americans and designed by the human mystery inventor.
So what about the final possibility? Was there
really a mysterious inventor who secretly built an airship and flew it around
the country? Certainly the public had been primed to accept such a story.
Science fiction in this era often used the "mystery inventor" as a
character. Jules Verne's20,000 Leagues Under the Sea featured
a mystery inventor, Captain Nemo, who constructed a submarine. Verne's later
book, Robur the Conqueror, featured a mystery inventor that built
an airship and the similarities between the book and some of the airship
stories are uncanny. Robur was published about ten years
before the wave of airship sightings.
If there was a real airship genius why didn't he
ever make his invention public? Could he have really kept the construction of a
flying machine out of the press? Was he really ten years ahead of his
contemporary inventors?
If he did exist he certainly was successful in
hiding his secret. It remains unknown even today.
In
1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted a formation of bright objects skipping over
the Cascade Mountains.” They flew like a
saucer would if you skipped it across the water, “He told reporters. Though the
objects the saw were crescent-shaped, the term “flying saucer” took hold in the
public mind.
On june 24, 1947 Arnold was flying from chechalis, Washington to
Washington to Yakima, Washington in a Call Air A-2 on a business trip. He made
a brief detour after learning of a $5,000 reward for the discovery of a U.S
Marine Corps C-46 transport airplanes that had crashed near Mt.Rainier. The
skies were completely clear and there was a mild wind.
After few minutes before 3:00 pm at about 9,200 feet (2,800m) in
altitude and near Mineral, Washington, he gave up his search and started
heading eastward towards Yakima. He saw a bright flashing light,m similar to
sunlight reflecting from a mirror. Afraid he might be dangerously close to
another aircraft, Arnold scanned the skies around him, but all he could see wa
a DC-4 to his left and behind him, about 15 miles (24km) away.
About 30 seconds after
seeing the first flash of light, Arnold saw a series of bright flashes in the
distance off to his left, or north of Mt. Rainier, which was then 20 to 25
miles (40 km) away. He thought they might be reflections on his airplane's windows,
but a few quick tests (rocking his airplane from side to side, removing his
eyeglasses, later rolling
down his side window) ruled this out. The reflections
came from flying objects.
They flew in a long chain, and Arnold
for a moment considered they might be a flock of geese, but quickly ruled this
out for a number of reasons, including the altitude, bright glint, and
obviously very fast speed. He then thought they might be a new type of jet and
started looking intently for a tail and was surprised that he couldn't find any.
They quickly approached Rainier and then passed in
front, usually appearing dark in profile against the bright white snowfield
covering Rainier, but occasionally still giving off bright light flashes as
they flipped around erratically. Sometimes he said he could see them on edge,
when they seemed so thin and flat they were practically invisible. According to
Clark Arnold said that one of the objects was rather crescent shaped, while the
other eight objects were more circular, but initially Arnold's descriptions
were they resembled saucers skipping on water, no mention of them actually
looking like saucers.
At one point Arnold said they flew behind a
subpeak of Rainier and briefly disappeared. Knowing his position and the
position of the (unspecified) subpeak, Arnold placed their distance as they
flew past rainier at about 23 miles (37km).
Using a dzus
cowling fastener as a gauge to compare the nine objects to the distant
DC-4, Arnold estimated their angular size as slightly smaller than the DC-4,
about the width between the outer engines (about 60 feet). Arnold also said he
realized that the objects would have to be quite large to see any details at
that distance and later, after comparing notes with a United Airlines crew that
had a similar sighting 10 days later (see below), placed the absolute size as
larger than a DC-4 airliner (or greater than 100 feet (30 m) in length).
Army Air Force analysts would later estimate 140 to 280 feet (85 m), based
on analysis of human visual acuity and other sighting details (such
as estimated distance).
Arnold said the
objects were grouped together, as Ted Bloecher writes, "in a diagonally
stepped-down, echelon formation, stretched out over a distance that he later
calculated to be five miles". Though moving on a more or less level
horizontal plane, Arnold said the objects weaved from side to side ("like
the tail of a Chinese kite" as he later stated), darting through the
valleys and around the smaller mountain peaks. They would occasionally flip or
bank on their edges in unison as they turned or maneuvered causing almost
blindingly bright or mirror-like flashes of light. The encounter gave him an
"eerie feeling", but Arnold suspected he had seen test flights of a
new U.S. military aircraft.
As the objects passed Mt Rainer, Arnold turned his plane southward on a more or
less parallel course. It was at this point that he opened his side window and
began observing the objects unobstructed by any glass that might have produced
reflections. The objects did not disappear and continued to move very rapidly
southward, continuously moving
forward of his position. Curious about their
speed, he began to time their rate of passage: he said they moved from Mt.
Rainer to Mount Adams where they faded from view, a distance of about 50 miles
(80 km), in one minute and forty-two seconds, according to the clock on his
instrument panel. When he later had time to do the calculation, the speed was
over 1,700 miles per hour (2,700 km/h). This was about three times faster than
any manned aircraft in 1947. Not knowing exactly the distance where the objects
faded from view, Arnold conservatively and arbitrarily rounded this down to
1,200 miles (1,900 km) an hour, still faster than any known aircraft, which had
yet to break the sound barrier. It was this supersonic speed in addition to the
unusual saucer or disk description that seemed to capture people's attention.
The U.S military took such sightings seriously
in those Cold War Days. The Air Force set up a series of investigation from the
1940’s to the 1960’s, the most famous of which was Project Blue Book. It
concluded that 94 percent of some 12,000 sightings could be attributed to
natural causes, such as the planet VENUS, meteors, or ordinary aircraft. Six
percent were unexplained.
Certainly, some UFO photographs were hoaxes,
with examinations revealing wires holding up the pie plate-like saucers.
Nonetheless, the unexplained sightings led some sober scientist, including
astronomer J. Allen Hynek, to believe that a few visitors might indeed be
extraterrestrial. Hynek’s Center for UFO Studies has been joined by other
organizations in tracking UFO reports. The jury is still out on whether these
unexplained objects represent alien aircraft, but most scientists, seeing no hard
proof, are skeptical.
Connections! Former President
Jimmy carter has seen a UFO. While governor of Georgia in 1969, Carter-and
other witness-saw a bright in the western sky moving forward and backward.
Carter reported it to a committee on aerial phenomena .
To all those people in the WORLD! thank you! for helping my country rebuilding and giving inspiration to cooperate themselves from catastrophic disaster was happened to my country. Thank you those country who helped and giving their time to spend and overall to bear their effort, rescue, and support our victims and survivor of TYPHOON HAIYAN. (GOVERNMENT, NON-GOVERNMENT, ORGANIZATION, N.G.O AND ETC...)
I saw the unity of all country , to help the city of leyte, Samar. Each
country has it's owned reactions how they will explained and give reason. . . but the interplay of each country , and helping it's sincerest will always be prevail. Now remembering the incident was happened still the trauma and apprehension of each survivor on
how they'll live without their love ones, it is really difficult to think that a single flip of a finger of god , suddenly a lost of a thousand of peoples. We understand that it's not the favor and exactly plans of nature to build a powerful disaster. 2014-8-11
People who're survivor are showing their dedication on how they rebuilt and helped themselves from a catastrophic disaster, now a lot of Non-government and organization who helped our haiyan survivor ( MEDICAL, SHELTER, FOODS, AND ETC...)
Hope! people in the world well still help my country. . .
