Life teaches us this almost every day: it is impossible to think that we have seen or experienced everything. We realize this when, punctually, something or someone comes to contradict us on what we thought to be obvious and certain.
Giving an explanation to everything around us is very difficult, surrounded as we are by coincidences, particular phenomena, and even bizarre objects. It is in these moments that curiosity kicks in and that we realize that we are not so “educated” about everything. But working in search of the truth is just as satisfying: the people who have shared the photos we are about to show you know it well. What is it about? Difficult to say at first glance. To identify the 20 “mysterious” objects they saw or found, these people turned to the web for help. Test your imagination!
