What are some mind-blowing facts that sound like 'BS', but are actually true?

There's a nuclear bomb lost somewhere in the swampy coast of Georgia.

In 1958, a Mark-15 warhead, packing about 2 Megatons, was jettisoned by a B-47 Bomber when it collided with an F-86 fighter plane. It looked like this.

They think it landed somewhere here:

But they can't find it. At first the Air Force claimed there was no nuclear core.  However, in 1966, Assistant Secretary of Defense W.J. Howard testified to Congress that it was, indeed, a complete nuclear weapon.

Sweet dreams.
