Human history is notorious for strange events. No wonder there are tons of conspiracy theories surfing around that aim to explain them in one way or the other. Some are totally bogus, others are somewhat debatable.

So when someone posed an illuminating question “What strange events have gotten swept under the rug like they didn't even happen?” on the Ask Reddit community recently, it seemed to have hit a soft spot for many. People shared some of the most incredible events that got totally forgotten, or that everyone pretends they forgot, including an extreme personal data breach on a global scale, an audit that found $8M of taxpayers' money missing, and unidentified snipers taking out cars starting last summer. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Below we collected some of the strangest events that people shared in the thread and it makes you wonder if someone has a solid explanation for each and every one of them.

I heard the book that had names about the Epstein stuff get legally sealed after Maxwell's trial instead of being investigated. If it did, then why wasn't it investigated as well?

    Covid depression Is one of the most predominant factors that most of us have experienced throughout the past 2 years, yet no one talks about it. You know that thing that makes you feel so used up that you download a bunch of apps that you know won’t make you happy? Maybe eat more, sleep more, stay in your house more. Then a war hits and you feel so incredibly useless to the perpetual tragedy that you just shut down. Yeah, that thing.

    I acknowledge that Covid has affected people's mental health drastically. What I feel is REALLY being swept under the carpet is Long Covid, which is affecting a huge number of people with effects that may well be permanent, and many of these people are health workers who were forced into Covid situations without sufficient PPE or vaccinations. Governments are not doing anything about that.

    40 Strange Events That Were Swept Under The Rug "Like They Didn't Even Happen" The Phoenix lights. My whole immediate family and tons of people on the street we lived on saw the aircraft come overhead. We all stood there speechless and terrified until it passed then the whole block freaked out. Nobody will ever convince me it was flairs. We all saw the outline and structure of the craft clearly. It was so big and slow it was amazing it was staying in the air. My hair still stands on end even thinking about it right now.

The father of the girl was one of the officers on the force. He was later found passed away near the property of the chief. People believe he was there to confront the chief about the relations. 9/11 happened, and the attention of the public got focused on the nation's tragedy. HE IS NOW THE MAYOR.

    apparently one in seven people in hong kong have been involved in protesting annually at the very least. Yet, governmental and bureaucratic crackdowns have shoved it under the radar. The real problem is the media's non-reporting of such issues because people get 'bored' of it and they're corporations which pander to people.

    When the government gave college loan companies money. So the loan companies could forgive some school debt from students. But instead, the companies just kept the money and told everyone that called in they didn't qualify for forgiveness. And the government did nothing about it.

    Yeah, the British taxpayers are going to have to foot the bill for all the billions that the UK government have written off due to their lack of oversight about who they were handing money over to for covid relief. They're not even trying to solve those crimes even though there's a literal money trail, and as we have a conservative government who don't like taxing the rich, as usual it'll be the poor and disabled yet again paying for their negligence.

    There’s a mysterious neurodegenerative disorder identified in 2019 that is ONLY found within New Brunswick. It has symptoms similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or “mad cow disease,” but it isn’t caused by prions. They have no idea what causes it. So far, almost 50 people have the disease and 6 have passed away. The youngest affected was only 18. The provincial government is pushing back on research efforts and transparency and has essentially cut aid from federal and international investigation efforts. Since then, they’ve started discrediting patients and their families.

    The floods on the east coast of Australia super recently, we experienced 1000ml of rain in less then a day, whole towns have been wiped out, there are landslides and people are still missing. There are no supplies, no food, no fuel, no electricity and no water. They are still finding bodies, and there are still people stranded on cliff faces and mountains that could collapse any minute.

    If you drive through Lismore NSW right now, everyone’s belongings are all in piles larger then the houses on the street, there is sewage and toxic waste covering thousands of square metres. Civilians have had to rescue people from bridges, off roofs and off mountains, risking their lives while suffering their losses to save others that are in a worse position. Thousands of civilians have been donating their own money, time and resources to help those in need.

    Our government has done nothing, and is shadow banning anyone speaking out on social media. The newspapers aren’t covering it even though this is the worse natural disaster Australia has experiences in decades. Deaths are going unreported and the media is not covering anything. People have been screaming for the army and other qualified professionals to help. They have been begging to declare a state of emergency.

    It’s taken 6 days for our prime minister to speak on this, and today he posted on Instagram some very staged images of the military “helping”. These photos show the army in clean clothes, pretending to do tasks and pretending to help. The army was literally instructed to go down there, get some pictures and leave. People literally have been taking photos of them getting photos done with ring lights and other professional lighting equipment. When civilians asked for their help they said that’s not our duty and went back to scrolling on their phones.

    It’s a disgusting response from our government, and probably the most blatant sweep under the rug I’ve ever seen

    40 Strange Events That Were Swept Under The Rug "Like They Didn't Even Happen" Equifax lost the personal data of almost every single adult (in the US). This is data we didn't give them permission to access, they simply automatically collect it.

    They are still in business.

    In September of 2017, Equifax announced a data breach that exposed the personal information of 147 million people.

    That's out of roughly 210 million adults at that time.

    That's 70% of the adult population whose data was lost.

    That's more than likely every single household in the US.

    They legally can access and collect that data under US because they are one of 3 companies authorized by the US Govt to collect data related to credit score and rank you. The Data breach was a big issue, which is now why the NSA helps all 3 companies with their security. And the Data breach was a big deal for the feds because it was partially their fault, and why the FBI went on it full force

    When I was in public school there was a year-long fundraiser push to raise $75,000 for a new school running track. Was supposed to be really nice paved track. By the end of the school year, they announced that they had met the funding goal and the track was going to be built. The next year we came back, and the school said that they were fundraising $40,000 for the new school track which would be unpaved gravel. When I started asking where the other money went they kept brushing me off like that never happened. I felt like I was taking crazy pills because all the other kids remembered that we had raised $75,000 for an amazing track, but now it was like the money vanished.

    None of the other kids really cared that much, but there was something really fishy going on. We got the track and it was s**t.

    If you see a bug that you don't know technically that's a UFO. If someone customizes a drone and nobody knows what it is it's a UFO. I honestly think too many people are making waaaaaay more of a big deal than it is. My insane mother took this info and ran with it and has become convinced she was abducted by aliens in '97. I have no contact with her but, seriously, this WAS made a big deal out of.... By all the completely wrong people and most people that aren't paranoid or living under a rock kind of already accepted that you're not going to be able to identify everything in the sky.

    I recon what they are doing is publicly showing the videos so that whoever is flying theses things knows that they know. If it a potentially hostile nation testing equipment, for example it's a way of saying "we see you". UFOs have been used to cover secret test flights has been used since WWI. They feed the media the sketchy videos and vague information and let the freaks in the media hype it up

    Except whenever new technology gets seen and assumed as a UFO it shortly gets proven was not a UFO and simply new technology. What's the point of inventing something that changes the laws of physics as we know it and not sharing it with the world. In short do you really think that someone invented a vehicle in the 60s that could break the sound barrier and perform maneuvers that are completely impossible to our technology and then not brag about it and instead keep it secret and just sort of fly around US military bases for 70 years?

    UFO is an acronym for "Unidentified Flying Object" When the Navy etc. say UFO's are real all they are saying is there is stuff that we cannot identify flying around. That is NOT surprising, it is merely an admission of not being perfect. It could be something natural like ball lightning. You implying that it is Aliens is the only strange thing going on.

    this would have been big news in 1950... after the X-files tv show and 75 years since Roswell, everybody knows about ufos, aliens, abductions, crop circles, etc. ... some people still refuse to believe, and who cares? Generally nobody cares about ufos & grey aliens unless you or your family are part of the 2% of the population these little grey monsters are interested in... The military has tried to reverse engineer their technology, but can't... except for relatively minor things like fiber optics or velcro... so no human designed ufo discs are in the air, since the math, physics, and engineering behind the ufo propulsion systems are beyond known science. The greys are indifferent to the political and economic systems out there, so they are not considered a threat by national leaders... Their agenda seems to be some sort of perverse genetic engineering scheme, nobody know why or where they are going with all that... Nobody is surprised or even upset that the government lies all the time, especially when it comes to something like this... It is an unusual thing these days when the government acts ethically and actually tells the truth...

    That's because a UFO is an unidentified flying object. That means that anything in the air that isn't recognized, even if it's human-made, qualifies as a UFO. So nobody is surprised when the military says they have seen things in the air that they were unable to identify.

    i hate how we are always so concerned with fighting things. no one ever seems to think about peaceful options, letting the opposing force that we mean no harm. a lot of good can come from that. however, sometimes violence is necessary. wishing death upon something is okay in certain circumstances. such as... i hope putin kills himself :)

    There was a huge scandal involving the UK foster care system. Social workers were getting paid more for each child they placed in foster care. This resulted in 100s/1000s of children being placed into foster care that didn’t need to be. To this day there has been no uproar or anything about it, it got swelter under the rug and unless you were personally involved (myself) then you will more than likely not have any idea about it.

    Or the Rochdale circle of child traffickers who weren't investigated despite several tips out of fear that the police would be accused of racial profiling. In the end nine men were convicted, of whom eight were of British Pakistani origin and one was an Afghan. But that was only after a woman informed the media about their practices and how the police chose to look away.

Saying people 'passed away' when you mean they were killed just sugar coats it, and it really shouldn't be. We should be angry. We should be made to feel the impact of it. Stop trying to be so pc

    Not necessarily strange but terrifying - since the 80s there has been a group of Christian anti-nuclear pacifists called The Plowshare movement.

    They have broken into numerous nuclear arms facilities over the years to peacefully protest and have got into major trouble with many of them receiving multiple prison sentences for their efforts with no intent to stop but the major takeaway from their activities is how shockingly easy it was for them to plan and gain access to these facilities. Sometimes it would be hours before they were discovered by military personnel after gaining access to sites. And it begs the question that if they’re a peaceful protest group what would happen if a terrorist organization were to attempt it? There’s a book about it called Gods of Metal.

    The financial panic of 2008 was triggered by a $550 Billion drawdown of money market accounts in the USA at about 11 AM on Thursday, Sept 15, 2008. It was an electronic run on the banks.

    Had they not closed down the money market accounts immediately, the Treasury estimated that by 2 PM that afternoon, $5.5 Trillion would have been withdrawn and the entire economy of the United States would have collapsed, and within 24 hours the world economy would have collapsed.

    Who did the initial $550 Billion drawdown? This info was put in the memory hole, and the press does not discuss it.

    The Wikipedia article Global financial crisis in September 2008 has only the following sentence: "By the morning of September 18, money market sell orders from institutional investors totaled $0.5 trillion, out of a total market capitalization of $4 trillion, but a $105 billion liquidity injection from the Federal Reserve averted an immediate collapse.[22][23]"

    A slightly frivolous example - after Madonna & Britney Spears kissed at some awards ceremony in the early 00s, Beyonce made some comments at the time which could be construed as mildly homophobic (citing her religious beliefs). More or less any mention of this has been scrubbed off the internet now and it's quite difficult to find details of it. Her PR team worked overtime on that one.

    40 Strange Events That Were Swept Under The Rug "Like They Didn't Even Happen" Kind of random but last summer it got to be 50 degrees Celsius in greater Vancouver bc (the highest recorded temperature in Canada ever) and the next day the city of Lytton burned down. It was a phenomenon called a heat dome. It was really scary because no one ever thought it could get that hot here, and a ton of people passed away because only about 60% of places have AC. It was one of the scariest things I’ve ever been through. No one talks about it at all anymore and that is terrifying to me

    Edit: I have been reminded numerous times that Lytton is not greater than Vancouver. Temps in greater Van were measured in the mid ’40s but with humidity, it felt more like 50. I stand corrected. Extreme weather nonetheless, especially as many places like kitchens and warehouses do not have a/c and temps in those places skyrocketed. My townhouse in south surrey measured in the upper 40s on the top floor. I also have had several people tell me that this is still discussed by people in their lives, I was just stating that I don’t hear of it at all, personally.

    Metcalf sniper attack

    On a random day in 2013, somebody in California decided to go underground and cut phone lines. Thirty minutes later, professional snipers sprayed the Metcalf power substation for twenty minutes. They severely damaged all transformers and cost the company $15 million. Literally a minute before the police arrive, the snipers began fleeing.

    How did they get in? Why were they so emboldened to shoot for twenty darn minutes? What were their motivations? And why run away right before the police car arrived?

    To this day, no one knows who these guys are. No fingerprints were found. We tend to take things like infrastructure for granted, and it’s events like this that make me feel queasy because the perpetrators got off scot-free and probably paved the path for future copycats around the country.

    40 Strange Events That Were Swept Under The Rug "Like They Didn't Even Happen" I saw a news report about people attacking and eating people like they were zombies. 12 hours later nothing about it, not even a retraction. This was about 12 years ago. I just figure they fixed zombies really fast.

    She was convicted of recruiting underage girls who were then sexually abused by Epstein which is not "selling children". It takes just a brief internet search to debunk this statement.

    The fact that brokers made it impossible to buy stocks in a couple of companies (GME, AMC, BBY, BB, etc…) that were insanely shorted (fake shares created to bring the price of a company artificially down) beyond their available shares, and only allowing people to sell their shares. This insane collusion between market makers, brokers, and even the governing body of markets (SEC) was quickly swept under the rug….until people started buying in mass and holding said stocks of each company to push the hedge funds to insolvency

    The Government of Canada gave billions of dollars in aid -- ostensibly as pandemic-related aid - but won't say which companies have been the beneficiaries of such aid. In fact, they have fought to keep this information secret. This is despite pre-election promises to be an open and transparent government.

    Canadians have long forgotten.

    40 Strange Events That Were Swept Under The Rug "Like They Didn't Even Happen" The Metcalf sniper attack

    Some unknown gunmen utilizing military tactics attacked a California power substation under cover of night. The attack included cutting targeted telecommunication lines beforehand.

    As far as I've ever been able to tell, they never figured out who did it or why. Or they did make arrests and the media didn't bother to follow up.

    There's been a few snipers in California recently. What about that one who shot a man in his tent while his two daughters were in the tent with him and only he was killed?

    Where I live, there used to be a prime minister who got his Rolex stolen. Later they caught the thief. He mysteriously passed away in jail. Nothing happened afterward. Just conspiracy now.

    We had a prime minister, who buy rolex from stolen money. Now he is suspected of having something to do with the murder of the journalist and his fiancée, but he is in opposition and is on a wave of hoaxes and Russian propaganda. Guess the country. (It´s in Europe)

    Beijing has certainly not forgotten. It's called Rape of Nanjing. Anyone who is literate knows about it. Question is: do you want to do anything about it? and if so, will America pay reparations for their nuclear war crimes against japan? Just you know to be consistent.

    Total b******t. The dude reported the Chinese woman to the FBI when she volunteered to work for his re-election. There was no “affair”. Stop reading Q-anon.
