In 1959, a cement mixer with a full load of cement, wrecked near Winganon, Oklahoma

By the time a tow truck came to haul it away, all of cement had hardened inside of mixer. Tow truck was not able to remove all wreckage at same time because of weight, and decided to haul only cab/frame and would come back for detached mixer later, which never happened.

Today, 67 years later, it still sits where it fell. Locals have painted it and added "rocket thrusters" to make it look like a space capsule.

In 1907, Yoshitaro Shibasaki and a team of army surveyors reached the summit of Mount Tsurugi, the final "unconquered" peak in the Japanese Alps.

However, their triumph was short-lived: hidden in the grass, they discovered a rusted iron sword and the copper head of a priest’s staff.

Further analysis revealed the relics belonged to shugenja, mountain ascetics, who had scaled the dangerous peak over 1,000 years earlier during the Heian period.
