China has a rich history of intriguing and mysterious stories, often shrouded in secrecy. A video from August 2020 captures a peculiar incident in Shenyang City, where a large residential building under construction suddenly becomes engulfed in a massive fireball after a flying object, resembling a huge creature, flies behind it. Despite the speculation of fire-breathing dragons, such encounters with flying dinosaurs, like the pterosaur, are not uncommon in some parts of the world. Many eyewitnesses claim to have seen these creatures in modern times, such as in Papua New Guinea, where the ropen, also known as the demon flyer, is said to terrify the natives. The video raises two intriguing riddles that may or may not be connected. The willingness of many people to believe in such phenomena says a lot about human beings, both good and bad.

In 1986, there was a report of a man being killed and eaten by a ropen in front of his fellow villagers. Although it may seem highly unlikely that such creatures still exist, there have been many sightings and accounts, making it difficult to completely dismiss the possibility. However, even if we consider the idea that this creature could be a relic pterosaur, it still wouldn't explain the massive explosion seen in the video. Some internet sleuths have suggested that the explosion may have been caused by secret Chinese laser weapons, given China's recent breakthrough in laser technology. Nevertheless, the two questions that remain unanswered are what caused the explosion and what was the flying object in the video. The authenticity of the footage is also in question since the person who shot it couldn't be tracked down. Our experts have their work cut out for them as they try to unravel this mystery.

Dr. Stephanie Schuttler, a wildlife biologist, examines the flying dino theory and concludes that the object in the video does not seem to be actively flying but rather gliding. Upon zooming in on the object, she observes that it lacks a discernible body shape and may be a piece of tarp or plastic floating in the wind. Military expert Tim McMillan dismisses the theory that the explosion was caused by a space-based laser due to atmospheric refraction caused by the rain, haze, and fog visible in the video. Video forensic expert Michael Primeau notes that the flying object passed the building before the explosion, indicating that it did not cause the blast. Primeau also discovers a white flash at frame 8,740, suggesting that the video may have been doctored to deceive the viewer. Finally, a report from Chinese state media attributes the fireball to a random lightning bolt striking a high-voltage power line near an unfinished residential compound.

The cause of the flash has been identified as lightning striking nearby power lines, but the strange object seen before the strike remains a mystery. Our forensic video expert has concluded that this portion of the video is a "pianju," or hoax in Chinese. In November 2015, a medical procedure on a 53-year-old man in China's Hubei Province revealed an egg-shaped object in his stomach, leading some to speculate it was an alien implant. However, further analysis by experts has determined it to be masses of fatty tissue, which can cause discomfort and pressure on organs. This phenomenon is not unique, as similar growths have been discovered and attributed to genetic factors or traumatic injuries.

Our conclusion is that the growth found in this man's bodily fluid is a natural biological phenomenon composed of a mixture of fat and tissue. We're unsure of the origin of a video that we believe to be from China, but it depicts a man being struck by lightning and surviving a subsequent double strike. In another video from Thailand, a man catches fire and collapses after his truck gets stuck on overhead wires, but he survives with only minor burns. Electro-impacts can cause strange effects on people, including the development of electro-immunity or peculiar talents like identifying impending plane crashes. Survivors of these incidents could be considered superhumans. Although nearly a quarter of a million people are hit by lightning each year, it's rare for these incidents to be caught on camera. Experts have analyzed the footage and determined that the Chinese video is likely fake due to inconsistencies in the scene, while the Thai video is real despite the dramatic way the victim collapses. There is no evidence to suggest that these survivors possess a superhuman power, as any special abilities are only skin deep.

China has given us some of the most interesting and enigmatic stories due to their love of secrecy. The next video features an event that occurred in Shenyang City, Northeast China, in August 2020, where a huge creature seems to fly over a building under construction before a massive fireball engulfs it. This video went viral, and speculation began that it could have been a fire-breathing dragon or a living pterosaur. However, a wildlife biologist, Dr. Stephanie Schuttler, considers the object in the video, and it doesn't appear to be an animal. The military expert, Tim McMillan, addresses the theory that the massive explosion was due to a space-based laser test, but atmospheric refraction would have reduced the laser's energy. According to the video forensic expert Michael Primeau, the flying object passed the building before the fireball, and the video was doctored. There was a report from Chinese state media that a bolt of lightning struck a high-voltage power line near an unfinished residential compound, which caused the massive fireball. The video was manipulated to deceive viewers.

In this episode, the show investigates two mysterious phenomena. The first involves a viral video that shows cars and vans being lifted into the air by a tangled cable. The video's low quality makes it difficult to discern the details, but forensic video analyst Michael Primeau confirms that the photo of a girl in a mirror has not been digitally manipulated. The second mystery involves a video taken from a ferry dock on the Yangtze River, which shows what appears to be a 10-foot long creature slithering along the water's surface. Field researcher Ken Gerhard speculates that the creature could be a mutated water snake or eel, but he also notes that there are legends of serpent-like creatures in this part of China, such as the lung and the naga. The show concludes by turning to experts for their insights into what the mysterious object in the water might be.

Firstly, we brought the video to our Marine biologist, Dr. Shea Conger, who observed a large animal with a moving tail. At first, she speculated that it might be a large eel, but ruled out the possibility as the European Conger, the largest known eel, has not been spotted in those waters. Dr. Conger suggested the giant salamander, which is unique to the area and can weigh over 100 pounds, but rejected the possibility due to irregularities on the top of the animal. She also considered the Chinese sturgeon, a prehistoric animal that can reach 16 feet in length, but ruled it out as it has a distinctive tailfin that was not visible in the video.

Our video forensic expert, Michael Primeau, confirmed that the footage was not doctored. However, he noticed unnatural patterns in the ripples created by the moving object and eventually discovered that the "monster" was a dark-colored rubber airbag being carried by the strong Yangtze current. It was likely discarded by a nearby shipyard, highlighting the negative impact of pollution on the Yangtze's aquatic life.

In conclusion, the supposed Yangtze river monster was not a creature but an industrial airbag. However, this discovery highlights the threat that pollution and overfishing pose to the unique aquatic life in the Yangtze.

In Zhuhai, China, in July 2017, a driver is seen on security footage driving through a parking lot when suddenly a child appears from under the car's wheel. Miraculously, the child appears unharmed. Similar videos have surfaced from Nanjing, China, in 2016, and Mumbai, India, in 2018. It has been documented that humans with nearly indestructible bones exist, including a man with a rare bone mutation in 1994. His bone density was eight times higher than the average person, allowing him to walk away from a near-fatal car crash with negligible injuries. However, it is unclear whether the children in the videos have the same condition. Michael Primeau, a video forensic expert, confirms that the Zhuhai video is real. Physics professor Michio Kaku explains that the laws of physics apply differently to children than adults, and the energy transfer from a car going over a child is minimal due to the child's small height off the ground. These videos are a reminder of the importance of safe driving and keeping children out of traffic.
