The Moon gets a new scar. A 160-year-old Arctic mystery is finally solved. And beneath the Amazon rainforest, an ancient civilization emerges from the shadows.
In Episode 3 of The Curious Signal, we explore five strange and remarkable stories from the fringe of the known—from a newly discovered lunar crater and a forgotten sailor identified through DNA, to ancient structures hidden beneath the Amazon. Then, we turn to two extraordinary stories of survival, including a man who spent nine days trapped in a flooded tunnel.
Finally, we cross into something even more mysterious: a reported near-death experience and the question of what, if anything, lies beyond the boundary between life and death.
Some mysteries have answers. Others leave us with even more questions.
