The Vanishing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
On 8 March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared with 239 passengers on board; no communication, no wreckage was located for months, making this one of the most puzzling mysteries of the era. The search for debris continued for two years and four months, and various theories and rumors were published, spreading speculation across the globe.

The Alien Abduction of Travis Walton
On November 5, 1975, logging crew working in the Apache National Forest witnessed a huge glowing object ascending over a steep ridge nearby. Six men hopped into their truck and jumped out leaving Walton alone. When they returned looking for him, he was nowhere to be found. It wasn’t until the following week when he suddenly re-appeared having no idea what had happened, claiming he had been abducted by alien beings. The incident remains one of the most convincing alien encounter cases ever documented.
The Disappearance of the Sodder Children
On Christmas Eve in 1945, a fire broke out in the Sodder family home in Fayetteville, West Virginia. George and Jennie, the parents, and four of their nine children escaped, but they were unable to find the others. In the following years, strange and conflicting reports started emerging, leading George to believe that his missing children were still alive, and it was an elaborate kidnapping. However, neither their findings nor those of professional private investigators could provide the Soder family with answers, providing only more questions.
Theories and Speculations about Abductions and Unsolved Mysteries
Such perplexities and a lack of certainties have always led theorists and thinkers to come up with their subjective beliefs. Several conspiracy theories and speculations have floated around, making it even more difficult for individuals to hold persistent, logical views. For instance, some believe Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was actually shot down in a military airstrike, covered up as a sudden disappearance. Others theorized that aliens or sea creatures could be behind some of the mysterious occurrences. Whatever the case may be, the vacuum resulting from speculation is something that has remained an inescapable entity in the realm of enigmas.
