In 1948, a man donned 13-pound, three-toed cast-iron shoes and walked along a Florida beach at night. The footprints led people to believe a 4.5-meter-tall penguin was roaming their lands. It continued its mischief for 10 years, visiting various beaches. The hoax was only exposed 40 years later

A depiction of flying objects in a German alchemical text from the 17th century. The objects are large square stone blocks. Some of them are lying on the riverbed to the right, some on a hill to the left, and a pile on the road. Apparently, these are blocks from some ruined structure.

Mars does indeed have two satellites, Phobos and Deimos. Their parameters are close to what Jonathan Swift described, with minor deviations. However, the existence of these satellites became known only 150 years after the publication of the book, and the exact orbits were measured even later.
