Unsolved Mysteries

There are many unsolved mysteries, however not all of them are as well known as others.   On one end of the spectrum, there is the assassination of John F. Kennedy, in which Lee Harvey Oswald was suspected, but murdered before he could be tried.  There are many different theories, even becoming books and movies, yet nobody is certain exactly why JFK was murdered, who did it, or why they did it.  There are some people who believe Lee Harvey Oswald actually murdered him under orders for someone else, and was then murdered so he wouldn't talk, while others believe it wasn't Oswald at all, and that he was kept quiet to ensure the investigation ended with Oswald's death.  Either way, it is one of the most infamous unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century.  

The second is the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.  While this could also be labeled a myth, there are enough people and enough evidence that has been brought forward to make one wonder whether there is truth to it.  The mystery goes that there have been multiple mysterious disappearances of airplanes and ships in an area generally agreed to be a 500,000 square mile triangle between Miami, Florida, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda.  The government has denied any such disappearance, but the fact remains that more ships and planes have disappeared in this area than what should constitute a normal amount.
