There are countless theories surrounding the origin of the island such as it being part of a religious practice or created by aliens.

The story of an island with an unusual shape that can move on its own in the countryside of Argentina has caused a stir in public opinion for a long time. El Ojo Island, also known as Eye Island, is located at coordinates 34°15’07.8’S, 58°49’47.4 “W and was found 2 decades ago.

There have been many theories surrounding the shape and way the island moves, including suspicions about religious activities, aliens and the presence of God. To learn more thoroughly, the El Ojo project team visited the area and found out a few facts.

Strange mystery
In the Northeast of beautiful Argentina, there is a mysterious island called Eye Island. This island is said to have existed since 2003, located in the middle of the flooded wetlands of the Parana River Delta.

The island is surrounded by a small canal with cold clear water, its shape is incredibly round and it has the ability to rotate around its axis. The fresh water as well as the solid ground make this island go against the natural laws of the surrounding swamp area.

Throughout its rotation, this island with a diameter of about 118m is continuously adjacent to the surrounding land circle. The strange symmetry and distinct physical features make observers constantly ask: How can this island be so perfectly round?

Some people even believe that this is a camouflage for an alien base below.

In addition to images on Google Earth, we can also find a handful of videos about the island and its rotation on Youtube, including the video posted by Timothy Whitehead.

Research campaign
In 2016, a Kickstarter fundraising campaign was initiated by hydraulic engineer Ricardo Petroni and director Sergio Neuspillerm – the man who discovered the island. The purpose of this campaign is to mobilize finance to conduct in-depth research on the origins of the “Eye” island. However, this campaign was declared a failure on October 10, 2016 because the donation amount only reached 9,698 USD (about 221 million VND), much lower than the expected number of 50,000 USD (more than 1 billion VND). copper).

The research team has planned to mobilize capital from the community to carry out a number of research activities such as scuba exploration, data collection by drones, and taking on-site research samples (soil). and other objects). They also plan to beef up the team by calling on biologists and geologists. Unfortunately, this plan could not proceed.

Some practical hypotheses
The team of engineer Petroni and director Neuspillerm is not the only group looking for answers to the formation of this strange island. Researcher Daniel Roy Finkley has also provided many factual observations on the website Paranormal News. Here, he compared the island with other locations with similar structures near the Argentine coast, and even had a video that delved into this hypothesis.

There are also a number of other interesting phenomena linked to the structure of the “Eye” island. Prominent among them is the Westbrook ice disk on the Presumpscot River that appeared in 2019 in the state of Maine, USA. According to the Bangor Daily News, such ice discs can be created under the right atmospheric conditions.

So what is the reason why these tapes are so round?

The answer is due to the phenomenon of wear during rotation. Specifically, under the influence of water, the ice floes begin to rotate in a circle. During the rotation, the water flow continuously causes the ice to gradually erode, eventually forming a balanced circle. .

Similarities between the ice disk and the “Eye” island
Is the ice disk theory the best explanation for the shape of the “Eye” island, meaning that a slow flow of water underneath one side of the island caused it to rotate in one direction and erode it? land at the edge of the island. This process also creates a surrounding circular hole.

An island floating on water with vegetation on top is a rare phenomenon, and could suitable natural conditions be the cause of their appearance? People need more time to answer this question.
