Up Close & Peculiar With the Grassy Knoll Fence
Skeptical Viewers
On November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated during a motorcade through Dallas. Official reports named Lee Harvey Oswald as the lone gunman, firing from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. But within hours of the tragedy, a different story began to take shape. Witnesses claimed they saw smoke, movement, or even a mysterious man in uniform behind the fence on a small hill along the motorcade route, what the world now knows as the Grassy Knoll.
Mysterious Conspiracies
Over the decades, that fence has become a lightning rod for conspiracy theories. Some believe there was a second shooter. Others argue the fence’s placement created an acoustic illusion. In 1979, a congressional investigation even concluded that Kennedy was likely killed as the result of a conspiracy, though no second gunman was ever proven.
Today, this weathered wooden fence stands as a tangible piece of one of America’s greatest unsolved mysteries, a silent witness to a moment that changed history forever. →

Dogs trade tennis balls for surfboards at California's unbelievable competition. Ripley’s Believe It or Not! has seen some incredible feats, but this one is paws-itively legendary.
Every year on the California coast, dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds paddle out for the World Dog Surfing Championship, a real-life event where four-legged athletes catch waves instead of frisbees.
Catching Waves, Not Fetch
At this tail-wagging showdown, each dog gets 10 minutes to ride as many waves as possible. Judges score every ride based on:
-->How long the dog stays on the board
-->Whether the dog sits, stands, or lies down
-->And yes, the size of the wave
From tiny pups to big, beach-loving breeds, every competitor brings their own style to the surf.
More Than a Competition
While the points are fun, this event is about more than trophies. The World Dog Surfing Championship proudly supports charities, turning epic wipeouts and perfect rides into meaningful impact.
Dog Surfing
Add in cheering crowds, happy humans, and dogs living their best beach lives, and you’ve got a celebration that’s as heartwarming as it is hilarious.
