A Strange anomaly in the Canadian Artic

Following an official request by the Government of Nunavut, the Canadian Armed Forces conducted an aerial investigation into mysterious pinging sound, also described as a "hum" and "beep," coming from the seafloor in Fury and Hecla Strait, a remote Arctic region of northern Canada. The source of the sound reported by sailors and hunters since June, however, remains a mystery.

This passage is known for the presence of various types of seals and bowhead whales, marine species usually abundant in the well-known hunting region during winter and summer, but according to Paul Quassa, a member of the legislative assembly, the sound seems to be chasing away the animals. "That passage is a migratory route for bowhead whales, and also bearded seals and ringed seals. There would be so many in that particular area. This summer there are none" said George Qulaut, another area expert.

According to the Department of National Defence senior communications advisor, Ashley Lemire, 'a CP-140 Aurora aircraft flew to the region under the mandate of “Operation LIMPID” and recorded no artificial noises emanating from the area,' Nunatsiaq News quoted DND's email received November 3, 2016.

“The air crew performed various multi-sensor searches in the area, including an acoustic search for 1.5 hours, without detecting any acoustic anomalies. The crew did not detect any surface or subsurface contacts,” the statement continued.

The only thing the crew did observe were two pods of whales and six walruses in the area of interest.

According to the BBC, the Canadian press offered various explanations for the sound. From a sonar survey conducted by a mining company to military submarines and Greenpeace doing it deliberately to scare away wildlife from the rich hunting area.

All of them have denied involvement.

The cause of the pinging noise, which locals say can even be heard through the hulls of boats, remains a mystery, the department of national defense in Ottawa said.

Second Birth of Buddha ... Mulbekh, India

Situated 45 km from Kargil and 260 km from Leh in Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, Mulbekh Monastery is famous for its two gompas and the nine mtr tall statue of Maitreya Buddha.

Humanoid figure in sky

Zambian locals ran away in terror when they saw a strange human-like figure appear in the clouds above a shopping centre. The alleged apparition, which looked like a Dementor from the Harry Potter movies, was spotted above the Mukuba Mall in Kitwe. Photographs show a large humanoid head and torso, tailing into the sky and it is thought to have measured more than 100 metres (330ft) long. The dense black shape looked like it was made from a different material from the clouds. From the angle of the photograph, it looks like the apparition was looking down on the shopping centre. The figure hung in the sky for about half an hour and some thought it was a manifestation of God. A witness said: 'We were shocked to see images that looked like a human in the clouds for close to 30 minutes. 'Some started worshipping but others ran away. It was so strange.'

Amelia Dyer , a devil who lived in disguise

Amelia Dyer is believed to have murdered hundreds of babies during the 19th Century. Her crimes led to one of the most sensational trials of the period and shone a spotlight on the Victorian practice of "baby farming". How did a seemingly respectable woman stoop to such cruelty? On 30 March 1896, a parcel weighted down with a brick was fished out of the River Thames in Reading. Inside, swaddled in layers of linen, newspaper and brown paper, was the partially decomposed body of baby Helena Fry. White tape had been wound around her neck, with a knot under the left ear. It was a gruesome discovery, but one which would lead detectives to unravel the crimes of one of the 19th Century's most notorious child killers. Born in 1837 to a shoemaker in a small village in Bristol, Dyer had endured a tough childhood in which she was the main carer for her mentally ill mother. As an adult, she became a nurse. But, rather than use her skills to care for people, she embarked o...
