Someone else already mentioned it, but Taman Shud.  Even if DNA evidence one day identifies the guy, there's still so much WTF in and around the case.

Yes, I go down that rabbit hole occasionally. It's interesting how the information age can let just about anyone take a crack at solving some of this stuff.

My favorite mystery is when I'm doing laundry and put everything in the dryer, when its done everything is dry except for 1 sock. How the hell does that happen? Is some sock gnome breaking in to my house when the dryer is on, then right before the cycle is over, they get 1 sock wet and throw it in, then sneak out? WTF?

I lived there for almost a decade and spoke with a lot of people about it.  Most people there, surprisingly, take it at face value.  

What strikes me about it, and all UFO stories is the narrative follows popular media.  Prior to "Close Encounters", all UFO reports, with the exception of Roswell, told of beings that were a wide range of shapes and bodies, many were talll, had different colored skins, or even fur.   Post "Close Encounters" almost all UFO reports became either Nordics or Greys.    This account was one of the former, and the description of the being is unlike any other ever reported.  (Even the Mothman, 3 hours away.)   So, as a "typical" UFO sighting of the time, and type, that lends credence to it being just another tall tale.

However, the media report and the number of witnesses lend a lot of credibility to it, which most UFO cases just don't have.  

My opinion on it is that t is a cool local story that adds a lot of flair to what is a desolate and remote outpost in WV. (It's an hour from basically anything.)   If it is true, then it is even cooler.

But.. it doesn't hold a candle to Kecksburg PA, a few hours north..

If you're into UFOs and the like, check out Japan Airlines 1628 over Alaska in 1986.

That's happened to me too.

Another is the case of the missing sock every time you do laundry.

Voynich manuscript, just because someone put a lot of effort into that, and it's not deciphered.

Number stations, I'd like to know the codes that are going out over them.  

Göbekli Tepe, I'd like to know about the civilization that built the structures.

Unified theory of Physics

String theory, brane theory, M-theory

Is there life in the oceans of Europa, or anywhere else in the solar system and beyond.  

Is there intelligent extraterrestrial life in the universe.  

Is true A.I. achievable

Is FTL space travel possible

...so many.

Göbekli Tepe interests me greatly.   It would seem to be the original and first human settlement, surprisingly close to where both the biblical flood ended, and even where the garden of Eden was possibly located based on the four rivers.

Lincoln was assassinated by a group of people as part of an intended decapitation strike against the U S government. As for JFK, I tend to agree with John B. Wells: "We don't know who killed Kennedy, but we damn sure know who didn't."

How did they make it when everything we know about them deems them incapable of building it?

Too much stuff in the dryer.  The item in the middle just spins, instead of tumbling through the air, and is farthes form the heat and gets the least air circulation.
