Mystery as Underwater Anomaly Larger Than Texas Spotted off African Coast
Newsweek ^ | 4/12/24 | staff

Posted on 04/14/2024 10:40:16 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

A wave anomaly captured by a weather-mapping system sparked a global mystery this week—with some internet sleuths even claiming it proves the existence of aliens.

A giant cluster of waves over 80 feet high and spanning 2,000 miles—an area larger than Texas—appeared to move through the ocean off the coast of Africa on April 10 in a journey that lasted about 24 hours before it vanished. Some online commentators said the formation could only have been created by something moving under the surface of the sea—making it an "unidentified submersible object," the ocean equivalent of a UFO.

A graphic of the incident has been shared widely online and sparked numerous jokes and theories. Some suggest the anomaly shows the path of a giant underwater sea creature, like the fictional Cthulhu, or a submerged alien craft. But Newsweek has learned that, in fact, it proves nothing more than the fallibility of data after discovering that the anomaly was caused by a "model error."

The World Court will rule that African nation states can sue the United States because we’re not protecting them from this.

Yeah, the roaring 40s latitude is not a thing. It’s probably in underwater UFO.

The anomaly proving aliens is a Texas size stretch of the imagination.

Yes, meteorologists (the pros, not the TV pretenders) are agreed this is simply a glitch in the computer model used to create these maps. They’ve seen similar glitches before; they resolve after a couple of days. Also, there’ve been no reports of tsunamis in southern Africa. If this was real, they would have been inundated by now.
