MOST ASTOUNDING MYSTERIES OF THE WORLD.
•World’s most astounding mysteries that raise questions with no satisfactory explanation in science.
•These may include Beasts and Monsters, Mystical Places, Area 51, Reverse swing , the Belmez faces or Crop circles.
LOCH NESS MONSTER
LOCH NESS LAKE
The lake is about 24 km long, but only 1.5 km wide, and has a maximum depth of 230 m and a mean depth of 132 m.
LOCATION
Loch Ness is an extremely narrow and long lake, extending from the northeast to the southwest in the Inverness area of north Scotland.
ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS
•First appearance of the Loch Ness monster.
•Date: April 1933
•Description: Thirty feet long, had series of humps and a head like a snake.
Does it really exists?
•The first recorded Loch Ness Monster sighting was by St Columba in 565 AD.
•In 1933 a Mrs Mackay spoke of having seen an enormous fish in Loch Ness and unknowingly triggered a huge surge of interest in 'Nessie' which is as strong today as ever.
Research by scientists
•Tim Dinsdale, researcher, hoping for a Loch Ness Monster
sighting in the 1960s
•Loch Ness Investigation Bureau (LNIB) .
So Nessie remains a mystery…..

Surprised Claim
In 1989 BOB claims that : ”He worked on aliens space craft”
Rumors had circulated for decades but lazar is first to claims that he worked on
aliens space craft , which seems convincing
Encounter Claims
• It is not possible .
• Lazar is mad .
• Lazar had no proves .
• Just getting a media hype .
• Area 52 is working…Area 51?
Lazar, Still Alive
• Bob Lazar is still alive .
• Available on website.
• Still supporting his pint of view .
Mystery Is Still Unsolved
Reverse swing
A mystery relating cricket
Conventional and Reverse swing
Conventional Swing• Age of ball, fairly new
• Bowlers action and speed
• Atmospheric condition , moist and damp
Reverse swing• Age of ball, old
approximately 20-40 over's
• Bowlers action slingy
• Speed…??
• Atmospheric condition , sunny ,dry
History
• Founder of reverse swing Sarfraz Nawaz • Act was polished and made famous by Imran khan
Conventional swing
• With conventional swing, the ball swings toward the rough side because that side moves slower through the air.
Speed???
It is believed that above 90 mph it doesn’t reverse..
But the evidence suggests otherwise.

THE BELMEZ FACES
THE BELMEZ FACES
The Mystery
WHAT IS THE MYSTERY OF BELMEZ FACES?
• In 1971,in a small village of Spain, Maria Pereira saw “sad human faces” appearing on her cemented kitchen floor.
• Faces used to be both; male and female, small and large.
• They reappeared on her kitchen floor even after the floor was replaced.
• The appearances were characterized as a paranormal activity.

Forgeryhypothesis
The Mystery
• Paranormal Hypothesis:i. Bender, a researcher, said that “ In Bélmez, slight changes
of the faces' configuration during the period when the phenomenon was under seal (attested by a notary) have contributed to ensure its paranormal origin“
ii. Paranormal anecdotes José Martínez-Romero.
iii. The Seen and the Unseen Andrew Mackenzie .
The Mystery
• Forgery Hypothesis:
i. Ramos Perera, president of the Spanish Society of Parapsychology, stated that “Through infrared photography we saw that this one had added pigmentation and even the paint brush bristles could be perceived. Of course, after that we
had no doubts it had been painted"
The Mystery
i. Manuel Martín Serrano, a sociologist, believed it was a hoax for financial gain.
ii. Luis Ruiz-Noguez chemical testsoxidizing agents nitric acid, lead, sulphur compounds etc.
The Mystery
• Conclusion:
Scientific studies suggest use of oxidizing agents, acids and paints to forge the Belmez faces. Paranormal studies claim such an activity with their own methods and experiences of researchers. However, one thing remains … The Mystery Of Belmez Faces!
CROP CIRCLES…. A MYSTERY!
WHAT ARE CROP CIRCLES?
• A crop “circle” is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop.
• It is a geometric pattern, often very intricate and complex, appearing in fields.
• These are usually found in wheat, barley, rye and maize crops mostly in England and other European countries.
How were they first found?• The crop circle phenomenon was first reported in 1972 when two witnesses,
Arthur Shuttlewood and Bryce Bond witnessed that a large circular area of plants collapsed taking an unusual shape in Warminster, England.
• Immediately after this 80 eyewitnesses reported its formation which took less than twenty seconds to materialize.
• Then around the early 1990's, two elderly gentlemen Doug and Dave proclaimed that they have hoaxed all the circles and fooled the world however they were soon discovered pranksters.
Increasing Popularity….• During 1990s the phenomenon began to
really manifest itself in a quantitative manner.
• At least 190 formations were discovered and documented in 1999
• To date there have been over 9000 reported and documented crop circles throughout the world, with some 90% of them coming from England.
What does science say?
• Research suggests that infrasound is producing such an effect.
• Soil samples taken from within crop circles show changes in its crystalline structure and mineral composition.
• Expert analysis states heat of 1500ºC would create such a change.
• They show evidence of ultrasound, and such frequencies are known to exist at ancient sacred sites.
• Mathematically, genuine crop circles have yielded five new geometric theorems based on Euclidian geometry.
• They are also encoded with sacred geometry.
However skeptics still believe that they are manmade!
• The lines in the formation are only six inches wide far too narrow for a human being to walk in.
• The formation recently appeared in the fields of soy beans in Ohio. Because they are organic there are no “tram lines” .
Crop Circles remain a mystery!
• Man cannot create such an art so symmetrically
• Even through natural chemical reactions how can crops take shapes of historical symbols?
• How can these be formed in 2 to 4 hours ?
