FBI agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder from the television series "The X-Files" on duty faced with the unknown and often go unsteady boundary separating scientific fact from fiction. Which sets all doubt Scully and ready to take on faith any miracle Mulder in a pair are a perfect combination of a skeptic and a believer. These are not secrets television, and provide an opportunity to one and the other to prove their case. List of six real "secret materials" prepared portal MSNBC.com.
1. Experiment "Philadelphia" Rumor has it that in 1943 the U.S. military allegedly tried to create a ship invisible to enemy radar. To do this, the destroyer "Elridzh" have been specified electromagnetic generators. The idea of the experiment was that the very strong electromagnetic field around the ship will serve as a screen for the radar beam. During the test, the ship did not just disappeared from the radar, but literally disappeared from view too. Later, the ship was allegedly found and materialized once again in Norfolk (Virginia). The crew of the ship, according to various reports, either disappeared, or crazy, or been "brainwashed" immediately after the experiment. According to the testimony of some witnesses, members of the crew "Elridzh" then disappeared, then pass through walls, and even spontaneous combustion, so much so that they could not be put out. There are many versions about the causes of the disappearance of "Elridzh": from the discovery of teleportation to the theory of time travel. Leaders of the Navy school at one time completely denied carrying out such an experiment. No written evidence has been preserved: the documents have been destroyed, the ship's log "lost" in the archives, the destroyer was sold to Greece. There are, however, some witnesses of the experiment, but their words just can not serve as proof. Skeptics believe that during the experiment a destroyer sailed from Philadelphia to Norfolk for some hidden water channel, the existence of which is possible to reduce the two-day trip to 6 hours. And that is the time difference, they explain the alleged "instant" appearance ship port after the disappearance of the water in the other. Fans of conspiracy theories continue to search for written evidence of the experiment, "Philadelphia".
2. Roswell Incident In July 1947, the American farmer near the town of Roswell dound wreckage of the aircraft and strange, as many believe, the bodies of strange men. Skin and debris suggestive of alien spacecraft or a failed top-secret military experiment. However, the FBI as much as 60 years, "froze" the debate on this topic arrived on the findings of the staff in plain clothes immediately mothballed the wreckage of the aircraft and took him away for further research into a closed hangar. After a few years, the U.S. government announced that the wreckage allegedly belonged to the Soviet-spy balloon. However, proponents of the theory of extraterrestrial intelligence, of course, did not believe for a penny. While the government speculated that the debris fell into the 47th year of their heads, the rumor quickly spread the news across the country. Since then, the word "Roswell" and "UFO" - practically synonymous. City earns fabulous profits from tourists who want to see at least one eye on the landing of a "flying saucer".
3. Zombies are among us. We are used to the zombie folklore. The living dead, raised the witches, no longer afraid of even avid fans of the genre "horror". But are there real zombies? Ethnobotanist Wade Davis in his book, "The Serpent and the Rainbow", dedicated to zombification and voodoo rituals in Haiti, tells the story of a strange man named Narcissus Klervius. In 1962, he died at a local hospital three days after being admitted with symptoms of influenza. Eighteen years later, he allegedly returned from the dead and evidence called his sister a family nickname, which she once has awarded. According to the "resurrected" his body drugged, then it was turned into a zombie and got together with the other zombies to work on the sugar plantations. After the owner's death, Narcissus managed to escape, and the long 16 years he wandered the country, until he came on the market on his own sister but did not recognize her. Skeptics believe that Klervius Narcissus did not die at all, and fell into a stupor that illiterate local doctors declared him dead.
4. Wow-signal SETI project was searching for extraterrestrial civilizations, based on the assumption that somewhere there are advanced civilizations, they had to create a system of radio signals, just like on Earth. Search for fellow human beings expressed in millions of radio listening in an effort to capture a reasonable code. August 15, 1977, something happened which have been waiting for all of the participants at Ohio University radio telescope to detect a signal, which lasted exactly 37 seconds. Astronomer Jerry Ayman, who took the code 6EQUJ5, in awe around it with a red marker in the chart and by the same token scribbled in the margin: WOW! - "Lol". However, the enthusiasm of the scientist were premature. No one was ever able to prove whether the received signal is really code from fellow human beings, or appeared on the air as a result of any human activity. Attempts to re-index the signal failed.
5. Wheat fields circle phenomenon for almost 30 years. Mysterious circles and shapes formed by gently flattened ears of wheat, clearly visible from the helicopter and even from space. Interestingly, about 90% of all circles are located in England. There are many theories about the origin of these circles. The most popular of them was the intervention of extraterrestrial civilizations, traces of alien spacecraft and even the secret signs that we serve brothers in mind. Scientists tend to meteorological explanation of the phenomenon: the circle represents the results of their sudden tornadoes or depletion of the ozone layer. Skeptics believe that all the circles is the result of someone's failed "long-playing" jokes.
6. Snowman until now, in many parts of the globe, scientists, hikers and, hunters find "evidence" of the existence of so-called Sasquatch - huge humanoid creatures with long white hair covering his entire body. Traces of the huge feet seen in Alaska, and on Elbrus, and Peru. Many tend to think of the Sasquatch as one of the intermediates of evolution, proof that man evolved from apes. Others consider it a mystical creature. Skeptics, as always, grinning and advise everyone to be more realistic: traces can be someone's joke, photos are fake, video footage are fake too.
