"Black hole" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean

In 2021, Kokoblocks, a Reddit user, shared a photo of a "black hole" appearing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean found using Google Earth. The photo immediately attracted the attention of many people and caused a heated debate. Some people thought that this could be a secret base that had been blurred out, while others said that it was a black hole containing a secret passage to the center of the Earth.

The truth was later revealed, the 'black hole' in the photo is just an uninhabited coral island called Vostok, about 24 hectares wide, belonging to the sovereignty of the Republic of Kiribati in the Pacific Ocean. The canopy of Pisonia trees - a genus of plants that thrive on Vostok Island, is dark green, making it appear black and creating this misunderstanding.

Hell Hole in the Forest

A mysterious deep hole was discovered in the forest of Abyysky district, in the Sakha Republic, Russia, with sand and soil automatically rising around the mouth of the hole, sand and soil automatically rising and dark edges inside the deep hole. Scientists said that this hole could have been created by an explosion due to the gradual warming of the Earth causing a gas leak.

Comet on the reef

Using Google Earth, some people have found a strange photo, which is an image of a long red streak of light running along the coastal area of ​​the Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

Until now, no one has been able to determine what that streak of light was, it could be the movement of a ship or the streak of light from a comet flying across this coral reef.

Mysterious swastika in northern Kazakhstan

More than 50 ancient geolyphs (giant drawings) have been discovered by scientists in northern Kazakhstan (Central Asia). They are made from mounds of earth and wood in various geometric shapes such as rings, squares, crosses, and swastikas, an ancient symbol used by humans for about 12,000 years. These ancient geolyphs are 90-400m in diameter and are difficult to recognize without Google Earth.

Until now, scientists have not yet determined who created Geolyph and for what purpose?

Island within an island in the Philippines

In the Philippines, on Luzon Island there is Taal Lake, within the lake there is Taal Volcano, on top of the volcano there is a large lake, in the middle of the lake is the small island of Vulcan.

Luzon Island has become a popular tourist destination because it possesses one of the most unique island structures on earth.

Strange Wheel in Peru

Google Earth has helped scientists discover some ancient sculptures on Earth. One of them is a wheel-shaped structure similar to the Nazca drawings, which are about 8,500 years old in Peru.

These wheels come in a variety of shapes, from kites to walls to pendants to circles to rectangles. They range in radius from 25 to 70 meters. Some wheels even have spokes inside.

Before the aerial imagery, archaeologists theorized that the structures might be the remains of cemeteries or houses. But after viewing them on Google Earth, the new theory is that they are related to UFOs .

Giant Pyramid Under the Pacific Ocean

From Google Earth, a pyramid lying under the Pacific Ocean has been discovered. According to estimates, this giant structure is about 13km wide. From the observed images, scientists have not been able to determine whether this is an artificial structure created by humans or a natural structure. Excavation of this structure is necessary but currently scientists are hindered by security policies and economic conditions in Egypt.

Mysterious Ghost Island

A mysterious island appears on Google Earth, all the scientific maps, weather maps but no one has ever set foot on it. This "ghost island" is called Sable and could be up to 156km2 in size.

In 2012, Australian scientists announced that this strange island does not exist. So why does it appear on maps and Google Earth?

Mysterious giant five-pointed star in Kazakhstan

A giant five-pointed star measuring 366 meters in diameter, located in a circular pattern on the vast windswept steppe of remote Kazakhstan, has been discovered by Google Earth. Why did this mysterious star appear in such a remote, uninhabited area?

Many people believe that this five-pointed star is related to devil worship, an evil cult or some mystical force.

Lake of blood in Iraq

On the outskirts of Sadr City, Iraq at coordinates 33.396157° North latitude, 44.486926° East longitude, a blood-red body of water appeared, terrifying many people. It is currently unclear whether this strange red lake has such a natural color or is due to polluted water being discharged into the lake.

UFO Triangle

In 2007, a strange triangle with a bright light was discovered at 30°30'38.44 S, 115°22'56.03 E in a field in Australia. Many Google Earth users believe that this mysterious triangle is just a random combination of remote control antenna systems and farms here.

But UFO experts believe it is related to UFOs, aliens and call it the "UFO triangle".

Military aircraft graveyard

There are many secret military sites that are hidden away, and few people know about their existence. But some of them are still discovered by Google Earth. One of them is Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz. This is the "retirement" site for 2,600 US military aircraft.

The surface of Mars?

Surely many people mistakenly think that this image was taken from a satellite in space. But in fact, this is an image taken on our Earth in the Algerian desert at coordinates 31°7' North latitude and 7°56' East longitude. Many people were very surprised to see this photo on Google Earth.

Three artists Danae Stratou, Alexandra Stratou and Stella Constantinides created it on an area of ​​100,000 square meters.

The art of ants

Google Earth has spotted strange polka dots near Vulcan's Throne volcano on the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Scientists have determined that the mounds are made by fire ants (Pogonomyrmex barbatus), which live around the Grand Canyon. According to physicist Amelia Carolina Sparavigna, these ants can create mounds that are about 4 feet (120 centimeters) long.
