So... a whole Island vanished into thin air, and nobody knows what happened to it.
Sounds like science fiction right? Well, it isn't, and you can research on that.
What really grinds my gears is that this isn't an isolated case... and that the causes for this aren't known - although some people have their suspicions, including me.
This article is about these ghost islands, and what really happened to them. (Especially Sandy Island)
Where's Sandy Island: And Here's Proof it Exists!
Sandy Island was discovered in 1776 and appeared on maps ever since.
You could see it even on Google Earth, until it disappeared in 2013, just 5 years ago.
Every map previous to its disappearance in 2012 had it!
One of the last times Sandy Island would appear in a map
So, Sandy Island was discovered in 1776.
Throughout the years, many captains, explorers and even Cpt. Cook visited and wrote about the Island.
It was visible in every map since then, and you could even see it in Google Earth until the Island mysteriously disappeared in 2013.
I know what you're thinking: It went under the sea - NO!
So, I know you are thinking what I was thinking at the time - the sea leves were rising or a huge storm sunk the island... well, let me tell you how scientists handled the process.
First of all, they said the 1st Boat that "discovered" the island was missing was simply at the wrong place, since satellites showed thermal imaging consistent to an island being there.
They soon found out that the boat had it right and the island wasn't there as they tried to visit the island.
Sandy Island was missing, so they thought what everyone did: that it went underwater.
Divers and researchers scrambled to find the sunked island beneath the sea, or traces of what caused the island to disappear.
The answer: Not even one single shred of trace of an island EVER being there.
Impossible to have sunk, and if you look at the data it was also impossible the island EVER EXISTED!
So what gives?
Other Cases & Possible Explanations!
There are many other mystical islands that have disappeared throughout the years.
The one at the above screenshots is the island of Hy-Brasil.
These islands have something in common - they existed until they stopped existing... but what's the explanation?
Well, it's fair game hunting for answers since scientists just DON'T KNOW. Sure they discard most of it as folklore, but Sandy Island isn't discarded since it's the recent case and disappeared only now.
If it had disappeared in the 1800s the scientists would just say - aaah it was just legend.
But what's the answer?
Some researchers claim that planet Earth has a long history of land masses appearing and disappearing every "X" number of years.
This, to me, suggests these islands are both here and on parallel Earths... on Parallel Dimensions.
Maybe the inter-dimensional veil is thin there, and so the dimensions mix from time to time, on certain cycles we still don't understand.
However, Large Hadron Collider time resets are also a probable explanation... but WHAT is the right answer?
