In 2021, Kokoblocks – a user on the social network Reddit shared a photo found using Google Earth of a “black hole” appearing in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, causing heated debate. Some people commented that it was a black hole containing a secret passage to the center of the Earth. There are opinions that this may be a secret base that has been obscured.
Then the truth was revealed. The “black hole” in the photo of the Kokoblocks account is just an uninhabited coral island called Vostok in the Pacific Ocean. It is about 24 hectares in size, belongs to the sovereignty of the Republic of Kiribati and is located about 2,280 km east of Australia’s Sydney coast. The reason it looks like a “black hole” is because the dark green canopy of Pisonia trees – a genus of plants that thrive on Vostok Island – has created this misunderstanding.

The debate was so great that British historians had to get involved. According to their conclusion, this is the Uffington white horse with a length of 114m and a height of nearly 34m, painted with stone powder. This drawing is related to the legend of Saint George and Dragon Hill, a low hill located in the valley below White Horse Hill.
According to legend, this is where Saint George helped people exterminate a vicious dragon. Blood flowed out into the shape of a dragon, making grass unable to grow. The white horse was probably drawn 3,000 years ago, with the earliest document mentioning it being written in 1070.

Images of this UFO were first found in 2007. Some conspiracy theorists excitedly claimed that this was a TR-3B UFO. TR-3B UFO is an American aircraft codenamed ASTRA. The nuclear platform of the aircraft was built in the highest level of secrecy of the AURORA Program, funded with money from the “black budget” (at least 3 billion USD invested in this project).
“Aurora” is currently America’s most secret aerospace program, and the TR-3B is the most “exotic” vehicle created within the framework of the Aurora Program, funded and coordinated by the NSA (National Security Agency). National Security), National Recognition Organization (NRO) and CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).
However, many people believe that this is a fictional weapon that cannot exist in reality, and is all just an elaborate joke created on the internet by humorists.
