The world is beautiful and amazing. And yet - great and dangerous. People can make plans for life, be successful, and just disappear overnight. Sounds like some kind of weird trick, right? Strange and scary, because no one will ever know what really happened to them.
Sigismund Levanevsky
In 1937, an event dedicated to the launch of a new bomber was held in Moscow. The pilot, the great pilot Sigismund Levanevsky, took off in front of hundreds of spectators. He was supposed to reach Alaska - but no one else saw him again.
Henry Hudson
This brave traveler explored most of North America. Apparently, the sea ruined him: Hudson went in search of the legendary North Passage to Asia, but the team, tired of the endless ice, rebelled. The ship came to the shore without Hudson: the sailors swore as one that the explorer had just taken it and disappeared right from the deck.

Jim Sullivan
Jim Sullivan was never a cool star, but he always remained in the crowd of movie stars. The UFO album (the entire disc is dedicated to a guy who was abducted by aliens) was released in 1969 and brought Sullivan some fame. The producers invited the musician to record new material in Nashville - he got into his truck and hit the road. A month later, Sullivan's car was found in the New Mexico desert, with the musician's guitar and belongings in the back seat.
Felix Monkla
In November 1953, Felix Monkla, a United States Air Force pilot, took to the skies to intercept a strange object that appeared near Lake Superior. Radar showed how Felix's plane came close to the object, and then disappeared. The UFO traveled alone north of the base, with no trace of Monclay or aircraft wreckage found.
Roanoke colonists
In 1587, a large group of 115 British colonists landed on Roanoke Island, present-day North Carolina. Governor Walter White traveled to England a few months later to get supplies. He returned only three years later, the colony disappeared completely. There are no traces, except for the frightening word "Croatoan" carved on one of the houses.
Ambrose Beers
The author and satirist known for The Devil's Dictionary and The Oul Creek Bridge Case, had a reputation for being dark and rather cynical. Relatives turned away from the wit and Bierce decided to go to glorious Mexico - there he was not yet known. The writer successfully crossed the Rio Grande, that's all that descendants know about this journey.
Heinrich Müller
The last time the Nazi executioner Müller was seen in the underground bunker of Hitler, the day before the latter's suicide. For decades, the CIA and Mossad have searched for the killer of thousands of people, but unfortunately without success.
