Alien and conspiracy theorists were sent into a frenzy last week after a weather modeling software “error” displayed a massive anomaly the size of Texas moving up the African coastline, generating waves taller than 80 feet. The Ventusky application, known for presenting weather and meteorological data, showed a cluster of waves reaching unprecedented heights and spanning a distance wider than the state of Texas, moving from Antarctica towards Africa before vanishing.
The video of this bizarre weather pattern quickly circulated online, sparking wild theories ranging from a massive underwater sea creature to a spaceship lurking beneath the sea. Social media user @528vibes shared the video, describing the anomaly as “moving underwater – the size of Texas.” The footage also made its way to YouTube, where MrMBB333 shared real-life encounters of unidentified phenomena, garnering thousands of views and sparking debates among followers.
Some speculated that the anomaly could be linked to mythical creatures like Cthulhu or Godzilla, while others suggested a glitch in the software due to the lack of reports of large waves in the area. Ventusky, the company behind the app, swiftly addressed the situation, attributing the error to a model glitch and reassuring users that the forecast was accurate.
Despite Ventusky’s explanation, conspiracy theories continued to circulate, prompting the company to incorporate additional wave models from reputable sources to dispel any doubts. CEO and founder David Prantl did not immediately respond to inquiries, leaving the mystery surrounding the anomaly unresolved.
As the speculation persists, the fascination with the unexplained anomaly serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the unknown and the enduring curiosity of the human mind.
