AT5s #1

Hello internet. Today, I'm starting a new series called AT5s. It stands for "All Time 5s". It's a series that will be posted once per week. In these posts, I'll post the top five of "whatever the topic is". So if the topic is "weirdest events that happened at Earth (which is the topic today)", I'll post the top five of the "weirdest events that happened in history".

1. The Bloop
The Bloop was an, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) described it, an ultra-low extremely powerful frequency under the ocean. They have calculated that the object has to be at least ten times the size of the largest animal in the world, the blue whale, to make a sound like that. Their sensors detected it multiple times at least 10 miles under the ocean.

2. Japan Airlines Flight 1628 Incident
Japan Air Lines flight 1628 was a UFO incident that occurred on November 17, 1986 involving a Japanese cargo jumbo freighter aircraft. The aircraft was en route from Paris to Tokyo with a cargo of wine. On the Reykjavik to Anchorage section of the flight, at 5:11 PM over eastern Alaska, the crew saw two unidentified disk-shaped objects to their left. These abruptly rose from below and closed in to right next to their aircraft. Each had two rectangular arrays of what appeared to be glowing nozzles or thrusters, though their bodies remained obscured by darkness. When the captain is asked about that flight, he only states "We had to get away from that object."

3. The case of Gil Perez
Gil Perez was a member of the Filipino Guardia Civil in Manila, Philippines. One day, he felt tired and decided to lean against a wall. When he leaned against it he, as a witness described it, got "sucked into" the wall and disappeared Gil Perez reappeared literally a second later at the Mexico City's Plaza Mayor, leaving him very confused. He was more than 13,500 kilometers from where he was a second ago.

4. The mysterious radiation burst
A team of biologists were studying Japanese cedar trees. However, they noticed that when the trees' trunk was cut, revealing the rings, the rings had be severely disordered. Using dendrochronology, they found out they'd been like that ever since 774-775 AD. Only one type of force can make the ring of the tree look like that; radiation. A lot. Every living thing has a isotope called carbon-14. However, using biochemistry, they found that in a lot of trees, the carbon-14 has been heavily increased due to a burst coming from the Northwest, where the UK is. The reason why I mention the UK is because the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle mentions a "huge, bright, blinding red cross filled the skies of Britain" during 774 AD.

5. Dyatlov Pass incident
A group of nine hikers went to hike on a trail which is now known as the "Mountain of the dead". Why? Here's why. The group went to hike on the east shoulder of the mountain. It reached dusk, so they decided to camp out for the night. However, the next day, all nine of the campers were dead. The military and their relatives didn't find this out until a couple days later because they were noticing that they still didn't come back. Then they found out that then didn't even reach their destination yet. Rescuers found all of them in the snow. They found that they were trying to get out of their camp in a hurry. The tents were found to be cut open from inside. They found six of them pretty far away from the campsite, thinking they could run away. But all of them were buried in the snow, with their skins all stripped from their bodies, exposing many broken bones. More investigation found the other three, which didn't have a better fate than the other six. Their skin had prematurely aged, their skulls were cracked and exposed, they had (interestingly) burn marks on their clothes and hair. One of them even had their tongue missing. Researchers couldn't find a possible explanation for the causes of these deaths. Even further investigation found more interesting factors. But two stand out the most. Number one was that there was a great deal of scrap metal in that area. Number two was that their clothes were found to be highly radioactive. Jeez.

Well that ends it. Please note that I will not be posting an "interesting fact of the day" in any of the AT5 series. Sorry. But comment if you want me to, and maybe I'll reconsider.
