30 Real Life Mysteries That Sound Like They Came Straight Out Of An X-Files Episode

27. A mothership appeared over a major Canadian city

There’s one I don’t hear often about and yet its happened right in the middle of downtown of a major Canadian city. There aren’t too many videos of it because it happened before people massively had cell phones.

Montreal Mothership This thing was above Downtown, Seen by reporters and cops and the RCMP along with NASA even being called, it was massive and described as a “mothership”, stayed up there for three hours and the military and airports had no fucking idea what was going on. It then moved east across half the city and caused a power failure.

There isn’t much about it online as again, this happened in 1990 but yeah. I’m bringing this up as I’ve lived there for a while so its one I heard a lot of talk about but I think its pretty weird.

28. An unidentified man washed up on the shore

The Taman Shud Case

A man washed up on Australia shores who is completely, and to this day, unidentified. Cause of death unknown, and he was carrying a booklet with him that had a crypted message that to this day is still without meaning. A suitcase believed to be his was also discovered, with odd objects inside that seem to make no sense to this man’s apparent possession of them, some of the items being: Red felt slippers, a stenciling brush for marking ship cargo, and a pair of trousers with sand in the cuffs, along with makeshift weapons.

29. UFOs fell from the sky in Nuremberg

The celestial phenomenon happening over Nuremberg in 1561. It happened randomly in Nuremberg’s sky and it appeared as if it was a type of aerial battle with spheres, cylinders, and at the end of the spectacle, a black triangular object fell from the sky and a crash was heard from outside the city. This still does not have an official explanation. UFO Conspiracy theorists everywhere, rejoice!

30. UFOs were spotted over Belgium

One of my favorites is the black triangle UFO(s) seen over Belgium in the late 80’s and early 90’s.

The Belgium military scrambled F16s to intercept it but it was captured on the radar jumping from something like 10,000ft to 25,000ft in a single radar blip. It was seen from the ground while being captured on radar. It’s a very strong case. Speculation is that it was an advanced military project, but it seems ballsy to test it in public. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
