5 mysterious anomalies & individuals that science can’t explain. Today, we take a look at five baffling mysteries that continue to puzzle the scientific world. From unexplained natural phenomena to individuals with abilities or histories that defy all known logic, these cases challenge what we think we know about the universe.
Over the years, both scientists and curious observers have encountered strange occurrences and people who seem to break the rules of reality. Whether it’s an unexplained biological anomaly, a person with extraordinary knowledge, or ancient artefacts that don’t belong in their time—these cases spark debate, fascination, and scepticism. Here are 5 of the most mysterious anomalies and individuals that science simply can’t explain.
In 1954, a man arrived at Tokyo airport with a passport from a country called “Taured.” Officials were baffled—no such country existed. He insisted it was real and even pointed to its location on a map (modern-day Andorra). After being detained overnight, the man mysteriously vanished from a locked hotel room, and his documents disappeared with him.

The Immortal Count of St. Germain
The Count of St. Germain was a mysterious European nobleman who claimed to be centuries old. Historical records show him appearing across Europe over hundreds of years, always looking the same. Some say he never ate, others claimed he could turn metal into gold. Science has yet to explain his odd presence in multiple eras with no record of aging.

The Siberian Sinkholes
Massive sinkholes in Siberia started appearing in 2013. Some are over 200 feet deep, and scientists aren’t completely sure why they form. Methane gas build-up in thawing permafrost is the leading theory, but the scale and suddenness of their appearance still defy full explanation.

The Green Children of Woolpit
In 12th century England, two children with green skin appeared in the village of Woolpit. They spoke an unknown language and claimed to be from a place called “St. Martin’s Land.” Eventually, the boy died, but the girl adapted and lost her green colour. Historians and scientists still debate what caused their condition—and where they really came from.

The Pollock Twins
In 1957, two young girls, Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock, died in a car crash. A year later, their mother gave birth to twin girls—Gillian and Jennifer—who began to exhibit knowledge of events and memories only the deceased sisters could’ve known. Some scientists call it coincidence; others believe it’s a case of reincarnation science can’t yet explain.

The Legend of The Chronovisor, A ‘Time Machine’ Hidden In The Vatican
From the still-unsolved disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi in 1983 to a covert collection of documents known as the Apostolic Archive, the Vatican is seemingly shrouded in secret. Of all the Vatican’s purported secrets, however, the sci-fi legend of the Chronovisor has to be its most bizarre.
Said to be a device with the ability to see through time, the existence of the Chronovisor has never been proven, but a 2002 book by Vatican priest Father François Brune says otherwise.
According to Brune, the Chronovisor was developed by Father Pellegrino Ernetti, a Benedictine monk. Ernetti allegedly kept the device secret until the early 1960s when he confided in Brune and told him that 12 scientists, including famed physicist Enrico Fermi and former Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun, helped him to build it.
