Mysterious Black Sites on Google Earth: Certain locations around the world are intentionally blacked out or blurred on Google Earth, raising questions about their significance.
Parasol Islands, China: The Huangsha archipelago, known for its political disputes, features hazy images on Google Earth, possibly linked to military developments and territorial claims by China, Vietnam, and Taiwan.
Jeanette Island, Russia: This small landmass in the East Siberian Sea is obscured on Google Maps, leading to speculation about secret military facilities and conspiracy theories involving aliens.
Sandy Island, South Pacific: Once charted on maps, Sandy Island was confirmed nonexistent in 2012, likely a misidentified pumice raft, leading to its removal from Google Maps.
Amchitka Island, Alaska: Known for its nuclear testing history, Amchitka is depicted as hazy on Google Earth, likely due to its past military activities and ongoing environmental concerns.
Prison de Montluçon, France: Following high-profile escape attempts, the French government requested Google to obscure images of prisons, resulting in increased censorship of similar facilities.
Dragon Hole: The deepest underwater sinkhole in the world, located near the Parasol Islands, is also obscured on Google Earth, contributing to the area’s air of mystery and speculation about its significance.
