Presenting Russia's Abandoned Buran: The Lost Soviet Space Shuttle

DarkDocs is a new narrated documentary video from Dark5 taking an in-depth look at at some of the most mysterious stories on Earth. This week: Why did Russia Abandon a Space Shuttle in the Desert? Some experts believe Russia may have built the most sophisticated space plane to ever fly, but it sat for years lost in the desert after only one launch. How did these Soviet Space shuttle clone top its NASA American counterpart, and why did it never fly with its Energia rocket again?

April 2, 1978 began like any other Sunday on the sleepy scrap of land known as Bell Island. It’s few scattered residents were waking up and starting their days, when suddenly an enormous blast from an unknown source sent a shockwave through the morning’s stillness. A boom that could be felt and heard rattled the landscape, damaging buildings and causing appliances and television sets to explode within people’s homes. Eyewitnesses reported seeing strange orbs and beams of light in the sky and hearing a high, buzzing sound immediately following the blast. Others reported visible metallic looking dust in the air.

The sound of the two to four second blast echoed across an area of 100 kilometers. The locals, concerned about everyone’s well-being as well as the cause of the damage, began to search the island for answers. No source for the explosion could be found, however, leaving both the island’s inhabitants and the scientific community at large stunned. What could have been behind such a rapid and destructive event? Some unforeseen natural disaster? A collapse of the highly-concentrated iron mines beneath the island? Or, more ominously, was it the effect of some new kind of magnetic technology?

Although some details from the “SECRET EYES ONLY” document leaked in 1974, the full 693-page memo, subject name: Family Jewels, was not released to the public until 2007. Supposedly revealing the “skeletons” in the Agency’s closet, the Family Jewels, however, contained one glaring redaction. Under Attachment A, the Family Jewel #1 is completely sanitized. What secret could Family Jewel #1 be hiding that still needs to be protected years later?

How close are we to finding out who created Bitcoin, how much power does he or she wield over the digital economy, and has a US government agency already discovered the enigmatic guru's secret? Dark Docs is Dark5's new narrated channel! Subscribe now: http://bit.ly/DarkDocs

On August 18, 2008, a web domain was anonymously registered with the name bitcoin.org. The registration is one of the earliest pieces of evidence marking the beginnings of a cryptocurrency that would grow to a market cap of nearly $200 billion dollars in 2017. It’s an incredible feat, to be sure -- but what is most incredible about bitcoin is that despite endless scrutiny, and frantic attempts by intelligence services, the identity of its founder has never been confirmed.

Cosmic rays have been used to uncover the first new room inside Egypt's Great Pyramid since the 1800s... Can scientists tell us what is hidden inside the mysterious void?

Uncovered using cosmic rays, Egyptologists recently announced the stunning discovery of a mysterious void within Egypt’s Great Pyramid of Giza. The secret chamber is the first major structure revealed inside the ancient wonder since the 1800s. Scientists are just beginning to probe the space, and it remains unclear what lies within…

It was a “most unusual story” so difficult to believe that the U.S. Air Force felt obligated to turn the event into a training video to document “aviation history.” Marked “Official Use Only,” and to be shown only to “Authorized Personnel,” “Flight Without a Fin” showed a jet-powered bomber flying with its tail and vertical stabilizer sheared clean off. The video captured extensive real-life footage of the aircraft in flight, and the Directorate of Aerospace Safety hoped that it would “enhance pilot understanding of B-52 flight characteristics and heighten appreciation of its capabilities.”

In early February 1961, two Italian radio operators, the Judica-Cordiglia brothers, reportedly received an extraordinary transmission. The brothers had spent the previous year holed up in a makeshift listening station in an old German bunker with their equipment pointed towards the stars, hoping to listen in on the early space expeditions being mounted by both the United States and Soviet Union at the time. The incoming broadcasts of February 1961 were unusual, though, and featured muffled gasping noises and what sounded like a human being struggling to breathe. Another signal, a faint pulse, was also heard shortly after. The brothers played the recordings for their father, a cardiologist, who believed that the soft pulse was a failing human heartbeat. If that were true, it would mean that someone, the Soviets or the Americans, had successfully launched a man into space for the first time and that the brave pioneer likely never returned alive...

Georgi Markov, a dissident of the Soviet Union and enemy of the state in his native Bulgaria, had been poisoned. It was one of the most devious acts of spycraft ever documented, and the "umbrella incident" stood out as an important clue. What happened during that fateful encounter on the street? Could an umbrella really have been turned into a secret weapon? And who was the mystery umbrella man who seemingly disappeared, never to be seen again?

The conclusion of World War II saw a proliferation of German scientists suddenly being snapped up by the victorious powers. It's well-known just how pivotal German scientists were to the success of America's famous Manhattan Project, and the Soviet Union also recruited the experts however they could as they liberated swathes of Eastern Europe and Germany. These German scientists now in the employ of the US and USSR were major contributors to the two most significant technological efforts of the Cold War: the intercontinental ballistic missile and the space race.

Few know, however, that Argentina, with its seemingly small global ambitions, also wanted to build its own team of German scientists. Argentinian leadership had nuclear aspirations, and the man picked for the job was anything but a straightforward choice...
