It is a mystery how kids had fun before 1922 when the first-ever children’s slide was invented. This declassified picture shows the world’s first-ever slide as invented by Charles Wickstead – a man from England who made the first recorded children’s slide from wood.
It is a wonder if kids then had splinters while having fun on the slide. Still, this invention helped revolutionize children’s parks and ushered in a new form of fun that is still applied in numerous children’s playgrounds to this day.
Cages for Babies
This rare picture shows how life was when people were busy working and their babies had no one to care for them.
This picture may have been classified for the reason that such a manner of treating babies is considered inhuman in this day and age. If today’s standards were applied to parents back then, they would have been dragged to prison for child neglect. But apparently, such a process of child-rearing was a norm back then.
Area 51 Spaceship
This picture of military staff loading an Unidentified Flying Object into a truck is one of evidence that a mysterious event did occur in Area 51. As this recently declassified image shows, this Unidentified object evidently crashed for unknown reasons.
Do notice that a weather balloon is attached to the UFO. Could it be the object is an aircraft from the United States Air Force? Could it be complicated weather equipment being tested out by the government? The mystery deepens.
Secret Mission
The United States government was involved in numerous missions all designed to further its stronghold. One such mission has been labeled “Operation Highjump” – its objective was to create a classified military research facility within the Arctic region.
Another goal of the facility was to use it as a base to easily spy on Russia. This recently declassified picture shows a ship of the United States Navy stuck between the Arctic’s two icebergs.
The Queen in the Military
Not many people know that the Queen did military service for the English government. Similar to what her grandchildren William and Harry did – both of whom served for the British Forces – the Queen did so as well.
This declassified picture shows the late Queen Elizabeth donning a military uniform as those belonging to the Women’s Auxiliary Service should. Reportedly, the Queen was often promoted while doing service for the British government.
