This island, in reality, is quite small, at only three square kilometers, and part of the De Long Island archipelago in the East Siberian Sea. When there is data loss or errors during the capturing of satellite imagery or its transfer, various colors and shapes are used to illustrate the error.

Administratively it belongs to the Sakha Republic of the Russian Federation. Judging by the photos of the island, it is not home to any secret military bases or missile silos — let alone extraterrestrial beings — unless they are underground or well camouflaged.

There are, hence, a few questions worth asking with regard to Jeannette’s “disappearance”: Was the blacking out of the island intentional, or is it some sort of glitch?

If you are browsing around Google Maps and, for some reason, looking at islands in the East Siberian Sea, you will come across something peculiar — a nightmarish black blob covering up what should be a landmass named Jeannette Island. s quite small, at only three square kilometers, and part of the De Long Island archipelago in the East Siberian Sea.

So, why is the island censored on Google Maps? {{Information |Description= Photo #: NH 92127 ''Jeannette'' Arctic exploring expedition, 1879–1881 Engraving after a sketch by George W. Melville, depicting "'''Jeannette Island'''", discovered by USS ''Jeannette'' as she drifted icebound north of Sib. The satellite imagery used for this black blotch came, just as with Jeannete Island, via Landsat. More similar to Jeannette Island is “Sandy Island,” a “phantom island” that was represented by a black blotch on Google Maps east of Australia.

As we can see from all the photographs, videos, and other materials online, Jeannette Island is actually visited by people fairly often, BellingChat Episode 4 – Return to the MH17 Trial, and More Russian Spy Shenanigans, FSB’s Magnificent Seven: New Links between Berlin and Istanbul Assassinations.

When it came to more serious answers, other anons suggested that Google Maps blurred out the island due to the presence of a military base or missile silo. It most likely comes from Landsat, as there is no data visible from the Copernicus Open Access Hub for Jeannette Island. For example, Google Maps shows a strange yellow square along the border between Afghanistan and China.

Elle se trouve à 46 kilomètres au sud-est de l'île Henriette et 265 kilomètres au nord-est de l'île Novaya Sibir. Most likely, this same explanation can be ascribed for the Jeannette Island mystery: An error in the Landsat satellite image that expected to find a certain shape and set of pixels, but instead saw something else, and produced the mysterious black blotch as a placeholder.

Similarly to Jeannette Island, the black marks look as if they were manually entered, though the shape of the island is much closer to the black marks in the case of Sandy Island than Jeannette (though the expected landmass shape could be complicated by the ice surrounding the island for much of the year). Imagery from recent Landsat 8 satellite imagery (via Sentinel Hub Playground) shows us Jeannette Island as it really appears, matching the photographs of the island uploaded onto social networks. Jeannette Islands is an island in British Columbia.

These photographs were taken during the Pax Arctica, a Russian Arctic expedition led by explorer Luc Hardy. But why does Google Maps and Earth apparently blur out this unremarkable, uninhabited Russian island? The reasons for obscuring some of these are self-evident — they’re nuclear power plants, prisons, etc. The user was asking the forum’s help in figuring out what was going on on the island, and the “very Lovecraftian” case was cracked by concluding that the island was most likely inhabited by aliens. Others saw (or, were trolling and therefore pretending to see) geopolitical intrigue surrounding the mysterious island — President Obama allegedly “gave away” disputed islands near Alaska to Russia, including Jeannette. Other reviewers are suspicious that Russian President Vladimir Putin is up to no good there, hatching evil plans for Jeannette Island.
