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."

““model error.””

Perhaps ask the East Anglia Climate Hoaxers to use their ‘model.’

When I inform liberals that we cannot model clouds, they are incredulous.

Regarding present day meteorologists - we regular working stiffs could never get away with the vocabulary they use. Imagine your boss receiving a product or report with words and phrases: chance of, perhaps, 50%....in some places in the world they will just interchange partly sunny and partly cloudy over and over.

...... I'm gonna go with the water moving in response to some kind of gravitational or possibly a pressure fluctuation. Either that or the Giant Turtle holding up the earth is moving around to find a more comfortable spot to settle.
