Here’s some New Mexico lore, the Circle Of Trees
I was stationed at Cannon Air Force Base from 2016-2020. I worked with a veteran that told me about all the occult activity that allegedly took place at the Circle Of Trees.
I never went into it myself but I asked other locals around my age and were always told by their parents to stay away from it.
Some pink spots in Russia, was just wondering what these indicate.
TLDR; I found monster-looking things in a lake owned by Putin and his closest comrades for their vacation homes.
I was searching around Maps and was looking at the many beautiful circular lakes surrounding Kochevaya (62.446792, 73.111367) when I searched some of the lakes up to see some better pictures online. The Russian word for lake is "Ozero" (озеро) That's when I reached the Wikipedia term for Ozero, which is about not the lake itself, but the people surrounding it. The "Dacha Consumer Cooperative" (дачный потребительский кооператив)(1) otherwise known as "Ozero". I hadn't before heard of this 'cooperative' In Lake Komsomolskoye (Комсомольское озеро)(2) which, to be frank, is a whole other topic. The Wiki entry for the lake itself states it has a small group of islands, but I believe this refers to the group of 4 large islands in the northern section of the lake.
I was intrigued.
I began searching around Lake Komsomolskoye to see these gated communities and wanted to see what "vacation" looked like to someone across the globe, ESPECIALLY to a world leader. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed by the pictures I saw online, it looks almost exactly like any mid-west 'vacation' destination. Very nice don't get me wrong, but didn't blow me away.
But that's when I saw these things? in the middle of the lake? (60.781365, 30.067601)
I'm assuming from looking at them that these are some sort of island or floating mess of plant-like matter (I saw similar shapes near the surrounding edges of the lake) I wanted to see them for myself. I immediately started looking online for images of the open lake. Unfortunately, this lake and its surrounding areas are quite safeguarded for you-know-who and his buddies, so much so that "Access to this territory is closed in violation of the Russian law."(2)
BUT TELLK ME THIS SHIT ISN'T SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF NOT ONE, NOTT TWO, BUT THREE FUCKING GODZILLAS IN TTHE MIDDLE OF FUCKINGH EURASIA??? WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED??? LOOK ATT THOSE SONS OF BITCHES BRO THERESF SPIKES ON THE BACK AND EVERYTHIFNG??? ALSO WHERE PUTIN AND THE RUSSIAN OLIGARCHY SPENDS THEI'RE 'FREE TIME'????
I rest my case, proof of the Godzilla Trio and their partnership with the very rich Russian travel business, doing god knows what.
Seriously though, can someone tell me what these are?
