In season 2 episode 11 of What on Earth? titled "Unsolved Mysteries", the show explores various unsolved cases and mysteries around the world using satellite imagery, interviews with experts and eyewitnesses, personal accounts, and scientific analysis.

The first mystery the show delves into is the discovery of a strange object in the Arctic that appears to be a giant looping structure, stretching miles across the snowy landscape. Experts believe this could be an ancient megastructure created by an advanced civilization, possibly dating back to the last Ice Age. The team investigates possible explanations for the mysterious structure, examining geological formations and historical accounts of the area.

Next, the show investigates a strange phenomenon in Australia where thousands of mysterious circles appear overnight in the desert outback. Using satellite imagery and interviews with locals, the team uncovers potential explanations for the circles, including a theory that they are created by a rare type of termite whose mounds are circular in shape.

The team then travels to Myanmar to unravel the mystery of the "Buddha on the Lake", a massive statue of Buddha that appears to float in the center of a lake. While some speculate that this may be a modern-day religious monument, others believe it may be an ancient relic that has been covered in water due to natural disasters. Using satellite imagery and interviews with monks and locals, the team examines the history and mythology behind the statue.

The fourth exploration takes the team to Mexico, where mysterious lines and circles have been discovered in a remote, mountainous region. Local indigenous people believe that these formations are sacred and linked to shamanic rituals. Experts on the show look into the history and lore behind the formations, including ancient rock art and legends of pre-Columbian civilizations.

Finally, the show investigates the eerie disappearance of the Sodder children in West Virginia. In 1945, a fire engulfed the Sodder family home, and five of the children were presumed dead. However, no remains were ever found, leading some to believe that they may have survived and been taken by unknown individuals. The team interviews surviving family members and looks into police reports and historical accounts to piece together the events leading up to the fire and the mystery surrounding the missing children.

As always, What on Earth? leaves no stone unturned in its exploration of these baffling mysteries. Through exhaustive research and expert analysis, the show sheds new light on some of the world's most fascinating unsolved cases.
