1. In China there is a river with a waterfall that does not freeze in winter at minus 30 degrees Celsius. But in the middle of summer, the stream, for inexplicable reasons, begins to freeze.
2. A very tiny body of water (100x60 m) in the Taldykurgan region of Kazakhstan does not dry out even at the height of summer, and the water remains icy in it. There is no fish and no algae. No precise research has been carried out there, as divers, even with a full tank of air, begin to suffocate after three minutes.
3. The Valley of Falling Birds is located in the mountains of the Indian state of Assam. Every August, birds begin to fall from the sky in the middle of the night. At the same time, the birds are in a semi-conscious state and do not even try to escape when they are picked up.
4. Wulemi is a prehistoric plant whose very existence has long been a state secret in Australia. These are pines, which are about 150 million years old.
5. Exploring the shapes and sizes of the Arctic Ocean and Antarctica, scientists were surprised to find that their contours are almost identical. It was suggested that, as a result of the fall of the meteorite, the mainland of Antarctica was "squeezed out" from the other side of the planet. This fantastic hypothesis has many supporters today.
6. Kano's spores are revived microorganisms, which were found in a piece of amber by microbiologist Raul Cano. Surprisingly, the spores were trapped in the resin 25 million years ago.
7. Not far from Rome there is an iridium anomaly. The iridium content there is 300 times higher than the norm. The layer lies at a depth corresponding to the geological boundary between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic - the time when the dinosaurs became extinct. The same anomalies were found in Denmark, Spain and on the Caspian Sea coast. Perhaps this is a trail of a meteorite falling.
8. There is a phenomenon called "thunderous baldness". This is a high voltage area that occurs after a lightning strike to the ground. Trying to walk in this pestle, a person may die. Fortunately, the energy vortex at the point of lightning strikes only lasts a few minutes.

9. A mysterious phenomenon inherent in all high-precision measuring instruments - zero drift. With fine metrological measurements, errors are repeated with constant constancy. The surrounding space is constantly changing some of its parameters and affects the arrows of the devices. What exactly is changing is still not clear.
10. "Drossolides" translated from Greek means "droplets of moisture". This is the name of a phenomenon that is regularly observed on the coast of Crete in the middle of summer, usually in the early morning hours, when droplets of fog condense in the air. Numerous eyewitnesses describe how the scene of a huge battle appears over the sea near the castle of Franca Castello before their eyes. Shouts and clanging of weapons are heard. The mirage slowly approaches from the sea and disappears into the walls of the castle. Historians say that a battle between the Greeks and the Turks took place in this place about 150 years ago: its image, lost in time, is allegedly observed on the shore near the castle of Franca-Castello.
