A model train going around a track enters a small tunnel and something odd happens. The train does not emerge from the other side like your mind would tell you that it should. In fact, the entire train seems to disappear into the tunnel even though the train is significantly longer than the tunnel itself. Al Seckel, the creator of this video, indicates that there are no digital manipulations or computer tricks used in creating this video. Can anyone figure out how this works?

Most of Jos de Mey’s paintings feature scenes with some impossible element to them. His painting below titled “UFO Over Flanders Country” shows an aerial view of what can only be described as an impossible kite.

The title of this realistic wall mural located on Main Street in Los Gatos, California is Siete Punto Uno (or seven point one). The title is a reference to the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that caused significant damage throughout the community of Los Gatos. The quake reached a surface-wave magnitude of 7.1 on the Richter Scale killing 63 and injuring thousands more in northern California.
