The year began with a mysterious hole in the Pacific Ocean appearing on Google satellite maps. Simultaneously, the forgotten monster Mokele-Mbembe, which cryptozoologists believed to be a surviving dinosaur, reappeared in Central Africa. The culprit behind the disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle was also discovered, while the most unusual solution was found for the enigmatic code in front of CIA headquarters, which enthusiasts had pondered for 35 years, unaware that the solution was publicly available.
The return of Mokele-Mbembe
The monster Mokele-Mbembe is allegedly lurking in the jungles along the Congo River. Legends describe it as a giant reptile with a long neck and a strong tail, similar to an alligator, with a size comparable to an elephant. Reports of encounters with this mysterious creature have increased due to deforestation, which forces animals to change habitats, though they are often confused with elephants or hippos.
The Bermuda Triangle: The true mystery
In 2025, a commonplace explanation was given for the disappearances in the Triangle: ships are sunk by giant rogue waves reaching heights of up to 30 meters. British oceanographer Simon Boxall confirmed that these waves can destroy even large vessels in just a few minutes. Additionally, heavy traffic, difficult navigation, and extreme depths of up to nine kilometers explain why objects disappear without a trace, fueling myths of a cursed location.
The enigma of Kryptos
The famous Kryptos code located in front of CIA headquarters remained unsolved for 35 years. In 2025, Jim Sanborn, the creator of the work, decided to sell the solution to cover his cancer treatment expenses. Jarrett Kobek and Richard Byrne finally discovered the 97 symbols of Part IV in public archives of the Smithsonian Institution, proving that the solution was already available, but no one had thought to look for it there.
The Bellingshausen hole
The mysterious black hole in the Pacific finally turned out to be Vostok Island in the Republic of Kiribati. Its dark color from space is due to dense groves of Pisonia major trees, rather than some military base or crater. The island was discovered by the Russian navigator Thaddeus Bellingshausen in 1819, explaining its connection to Russian history.
