Your favourite unsolved mystery?

Shergar: Did he end up as dog food, or glue, or a Frenchman's meal?

Jill Dando: I wonder what she uncovered? I never believed that Barry George did it

Lochness Monster: Too many sightings for it to be an urban legend

Marilyn Monroe: Killed off imho.

I remember that story. It struck me as very odd and tragic. As time went on it left my mind, I had no idea it ended up throwing up wild connections. I just assumed it was solved and explained soon after.

Talked about a few pages back.

My favourite one at the moment is Tabby's star. Things are getting exciting because it's dimming again. Even though it's very unlikely to be an alien megastructure it's still a possible theory. It could be solved very soon.

Yes! I remember when this first happened and it's a bit of a tangled web, to say the least. All the more strange since the attackers let the two young children live, IIRC.

I did not follow that after the initial arrests, but i thought it was the Fathers brother? No?

Anything that has the astronomers stumped has my attention, its amazing to me that nobody seems to have an idea of what this could be, besides the unbelievable notion that it could be a dyson sphere, aliens harnessing the entire energy of a small star.

It's not a Dyson sphere.

For objects inside a hollow sphere the gravitational attractions from all directions cancel each other out. So the star would not stay at the centre of the system.

Dyson never intended for the 'Dyson sphere' to be interpreted as a solid shell. He said himself that such a construct would be impossible and that he had envisaged a "swarm of objects travelling on independent orbits".

A team from the University of Illinois thinks this explanation is far-fetched and has claimed the strange blinking can be explained by “avalanche statistics”.

The academics argued that the star was simply undergoing a process which meant it pumped out huge amounts of light at some times and smaller amounts at others as it went through a process called a “phase transition”.

“Examples of such transitions are magnetic systems that are slowly driven with a magnetic field, or the slow deformation of somewhat brittle materials where there is often first little crackling that gets louder and louder until there is a big snap when the material breaks,” said scientist Karin Dahmen.

Looks like its not a Dyson sphere

If that were the case, shouldn't there be many more than just one example out there?

Just sayin'

Who says there arent

Due to extensive media coverage on this matter, KIC 8462852 has been compared by Kepler's Steve Howell to KIC 4150611,another star with an odd light curve (which proved, after years of research, to be a part of a five-star system).

Loved this thread, started last week and up to page 80ish. But can someone please explain the constant repetitions of

Dyatlov Pass ( at least 50 mentions )
Appalling Fig Roll, Cookie Jar and Who Let Dogs Out jokes (not remotely funny the first time)
Thread could be so much easier to navigate !

I don't know about any of that, but DB Cooper is a fascinating mystery.

Some people were trying to be funny hence the fig rolls. There was a poster who made a mega post with links broken down into categories but it's lost amongst the rest somewhere

Dylatov Pass is an infamous mystery about some hikers in the Ural mountains tore up their tents, left their campsite naked, later died and at least one if them was missing their tongue.

There's a podcast here about the Dylatov Pass incident

The Disappearance of William Tyrrell in Australia is interesting. Also the case is unusual as the parents cannot be identified for legal reasons.

That is sad and strange . I wonder are the parents in a witness protection programme or something , and that's why they can't be identified ?

Poor child either way

They are actually the foster parents, they can't be identified to protect his sister apparently.

I see I'm not the only one who is fascinated by the whole DB cooper stuff. I mean the fact that a guy jumps out of a plane and is never seen again bar some of the ransom money is amazing.
