Blood Falls

added28 August 2026

A vividly red flow seeping from Antarctica's Taylor Glacier. The colour comes from iron in an ancient brine lake, sealed under the ice for millions of years along with microbes living without light.

UFO sightingYellow

Kaikōura and the Lights Filmed from the Air

In late December 1978, over the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, the crews of Argosy freight aircraft saw bright lights accompanying them on several consecutive nights. Radar at Wellington confirmed returns. On 31 December an Australian television crew was taken aboard; the cameraman David Crockett filmed the lights on colour stock, and the footage went round the world — one of very few films of the phenomenon shot from an aircraft with simultaneous radar confirmation. The astronomer William Ireland offered an explanation: the lights of squid boats reflected off a temperature inversion, plus Venus. It accounts for some of the episodes and not others.

Cape Otway and Valentich's Last Transmission

On 21 October 1978 a twenty-year-old pilot, Frederick Valentich, was flying a Cessna 182 alone over Bass Strait south of this cape and told Melbourne control that a large object with four bright lights was accompanying him. His last words were "it is not an aircraft"; then seventeen seconds of metallic scraping on the air, and silence. Neither aircraft nor body was found. Five years later a cowl flap from that production run was recovered off King Island; it could not be tied to his machine. The official finding is that the cause is unknown. Disorientation and inverted flight, and a staged disappearance, have both been considered; neither has been shown.

FolkloreGreen

The Waitomo Caves

Limestone caves on New Zealand's North Island whose ceilings glow with the larvae of Arachnocampa luminosa, a species found nowhere else. Thousands of blue points above an underground river look like a night sky; they are in fact lures for prey the larvae catch on sticky threads. Māori knew the caves long before Europeans, and the chief Tāne Tinorau led the first survey into them in 1887.

Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as the "Devil's Triangle") is a loosely defined oceanic region in the western North Atlantic, conventionally demarcated by points connecting the Bermuda archipelago, Miami (Florida), and San Juan (Puerto Rico). Encompassing an area of roughly 1 to 1.5 million square kilometers, the sector encompasses the Florida Straits, the Bahamas, and portions of the Sargasso Sea. Throughout the latter half of the 20th century, the zone became the premier global archetype of maritime and aviation lore, reputed across popular culture for the unexplainable disappearance of dozens of vessels and aircraft.

Kashkulak Cave

Kashkulak Cave (colloquially known as the "Cave of the Black Devil" or the "White Shaman's Cave") is a karst cavern system in the Batenevsky Ridge of the Kuznetsk Alatau mountains, situated in the Shirinsky District of Khakassia, Russia. Featuring a three-tier network of galleries descending to a depth of 49 meters with over 800 meters of mapped corridors, the site earned notoriety in the late Soviet period as an anomalous subterranean hotspot where explorers and scientists experienced acute panic attacks, disorientation, and waking hallucinations.

The Molebka Triangle

The Molebka Triangle (also known as the M-Zone or the Perm Anomalous Zone) is a geographic area spanning roughly 70 square kilometers in the Kishertsky District of Perm Krai, Russia, situated along the Sylva River near the historic village of Molebka. In the late 1980s, this remote pocket of Ural taiga transformed into the Soviet Union's first and most famous recognized "paranormal zone," becoming a global epicenter for UFO tourism and ufological expeditions.
