The year is almost over, and boy, what a weird one it
was. We learned that we can land a spacecraft onto a comet, and that
Democrats don't come out to vote in the mid-term elections. While those
are good things to know, it's the stuff that we still don't know that
has me excited about 2015. From Bigfoot to corpse brides, there are
still some really great unsolved mysteries left over from 2014.

Portuguese Angel Hair
These weird white strands keep falling from the sky in Portugal. Some
suspect that they are just pieces of spider silk. Others maintain they
could be some kind of discharge from extraterrestrial spacecraft. At
this point, nobody knows for sure. |

The Martian Rock That Looks Like President Obama
One attentive internet user recently found a peculiar shape in the rocks
on Mars as captured by the NASA Spirit Rover: President Barack Obama.
It's probably just coincidence, but it is scarily on point. |

Statue Of Liberty UFO
This year, a woman spotted and recorded a video of this unidentified
speck in the sky above the Statue of Liberty. YouTube commenters suspect
it might be a drone of some kind, but who knows? It looks more like an
alien spacecraft to me. |

The Creature Of New Zealand Bay
Someone with a sharp eye noticed this snake-shaped wake swimming around
New Zealand Bay. It looks too large to be a boat or a shark. So what the
heck is it? Will 2015 hold the answer? |

Bigfoot Pictures
Although he supposedly shot the Bigfoot back in 2012, Rick Dyer only
released pictures of his kill at the beginning of 2014. Apparently, Dyer
needed time to get the creature preserved via taxidermy before he could
release them. The photos look real enough, but we are still waiting to
hear back from Washington State College about the results of their
testing on the creature. Will this turn out to be a hoax in 2015?

The Corpse Bride
In Chihuahua, Mexico, there is a bridal shop with an exceptionally
beautiful yet creepy-looking mannequin. Some believe that the mannequin
is the preserved body of the old owner's daughter, who died of a spider
bite on her wedding day years before. Because the current owner takes
care not to let outsiders touch the mannequin or even ask questions
about it, we may never know her true origins.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
Back in March, a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER took off from Kuala
Lumpur but never landed at its destination in Beijing. So far, there is
no evidence indicating that it crashed. No wreckage or remains from the
plane were found, despite months of over-analysis from bored CNN
reporters. Perhaps 2015 will hold some answers?
