A Google Maps user located a small, blackened island in the app, photographed it and shared Reddit in an attempt to locate its source.

To his great surprise, no one there had any idea what this island was, why it was blackened and whether there was a chance that it was blacked out on purpose to hide something from the public.

The mystery that accompanies the island has led many to compare it to Area 51, the closed military area located in the southern part of the state of Nevada, or the American suspense series "Lost" that aired for 6 seasons until a little over a decade ago.

In the picture you can see that the farthest part of the island is painted blue-oval, in the closer part the wavy sea is clearly visible, with the waves crashing on the golden sandy beaches around the blackened forest.

Unfortunately, no exact coordinates were given to the (almost) triangular island.

The network believes that the island was blacked out by Google Maps for censorship purposes. Google deletes areas on the maps when people in the database do not agree to appear there or do not want to know what is happening there. One wrote in response: My first thought was that he was censored.

It does not make sense for such a natural structure to be blackened in this way. "

One of the surfers, who identified himself as goldenstar365, tried to explain the image: "The blue around the island is a painted color used to make the oceans look uniform on maps. Islands are added by deleting some of this blue to allow the satellite image to appear.

Sometimes they do sloppy work, so what you see moving in is: the color of the artificial ocean and then a real ocean with waves, then a beach and an island.

As for the shape - I do not know, islands come in all shapes and sizes so I do not discriminate. "

As we mentioned, it is not uncommon to find entire blackened areas in Google Maps.

From military bases to mysterious islands, there is no shortage of censored places that the digital mapping service hides from users.

Other places blackened by Google maps include the island of Sandy discovered by Captain Cook in the late first decade of the 18th century.

The area where Sandy Island is supposedly located is mysteriously blurred when the official version is that the island does not really exist.

There is also an area in the Himalayas, as well as a place in the heart of the Siberian desert that if you look closely - they will look copied and pasted from another area.
