“Unearthed Secrets: The Bizarre Events of the 1970s That Shaped a Generation!”
7. Message from Space
The jury is still out on whether life is only happening on this planet, but a sound from outer space in 1977 may indicate otherwise. Using the Big Ear radio telescope in Ohio, astronomers picked up a powerful radio signal from space for 72 seconds.
After numerous searches, the signal has never been found again, leaving astronomers perplexed about its origin and nature.
8. The Hate Mail of Circleville
Getting mail is supposed to be wonderful unless it is filled with bills or threats, like the people in 1976 experienced. The residents of Circleville, Ohio, received mysterious and menacing anonymous letters filled with charges, cautions, and insults.
The entire unsolved turned into a mess of mysterious deaths, attempted murder, and lots of speculation. Law enforcement conducted inquiries, but the Circleville Letter Writer’s identity was never established for sure; the case remained unsolved.
9. A Pilot’s Disappearance
Do UFOs exist? An incident in 1978 may answer that question. Australian pilot Frederick Valentich vanished over the Bass Strait in strange circumstances after reporting witnessing an unidentified flying object (UFO) before losing radio contact.
Was it an alien abduction? We may never know if this was an extra-terrestrial involvement in his abduction since the man and his aircraft were never discovered.
10. Where’s Jimmy Hofa?
It’s not every day that union leaders disappear without a trace, but Jimmy Hoffa, the powerful union leader and president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, vanished in July 1975 and was never seen again.
