No one expected to see something like this in the desert. Scientists suddenly discovered an object that should not have been there.
It all started after a powerful sandstorm in February 2024. Saudi satellites, performing standard monitoring, detected a strange vertical shadow in the images. At first they assumed it was wreckage of a plane. But the AI, analyzing the shape and proportions of the object, produced a result that made cold chills run down the operators’ spines: the periscope of a submarine.
The news instantly spread around the world. An emergency meeting of scientists, military officials, and researchers was called. Within 72 hours, an international expedition was already working in the desert. The team included physicists, archaeologists, engineers, biologists, and nuclear safety specialists.
As they approached the place, no one could believe what was happening. A dark metallic silhouette was sticking out of the sand — the peeling surface, partly rusted, yet still imposing. A massive submarine, as if lost in another reality, lay under the scorching sun — far from any ocean.
But as soon as the team began to approach, strange things started happening.
All navigation devices began to malfunction: GPS coordinates pointed to the Indian Ocean, compasses spun chaotically. Drones lost signal. Radiation detectors showed inconsistent but alarming spikes. The local guide refused to go any further.
And then something happened that no one could explain. Several dozen camels — wild, untamed animals — appeared out of nowhere and formed a perfect circle around the submarine. The animals did not move, did not make a sound.
Opening the hatch marked the beginning of the most terrifying part. The smell inside was putrid and thick, like the air in a sealed crypt. What they found inside shocked every
Inside the submarine — stillness, dust and… bodies.
The crew — dozens of dead men frozen in their working positions. Someone was sitting at the control panel, someone was lying in the corridor, someone seemed to have tried to open the door but didn’t make it in time.
In the cabins they found personal belongings: letters, old photos, books in different languages. Everything indicated that the submarine had been actively used, possibly in the mid-20th century.
However, the hull’s serial number and certain technical details did not match any known model.
And then they found documents. Many were destroyed by time, but what they managed to save shocked even the most skeptical scientists.
They mentioned a mission to monitor experimental nuclear facilities in the Persian Gulf. The date — 1968.
The country of origin was not listed. The names were encrypted. Only one fragment remained clearly visible:
“Contact established. Device activated. Temporary window open for 36 seconds.”
What this meant — no one knew for sure.
No one gave a definitive answer. The submarine was sealed for preservation, and the bodies found inside were buried with military honors.
The camels disappeared just as suddenly as they had appeared.
But one question remained hanging in the air:
If a submarine can end up in the desert… then where is the thing that put it there now?
