Mysterious runway in Brazilian jungle sparks online theories
Internet users are browsing the Google Maps app with curiosity, searching for something surprising. This sort was discovered in the middle of the Brazilian jungle.
In the heart of the Brazilian jungle, near the Aripuanã River, a Reddit user found a mysterious runway that captured his and other internet users' attention. It is located approximately 3,700 kilometres from the international airport in Santiago.
An interesting discovery on Google Maps
The image of this isolated airstrip, spotted on Google Maps, ignited a wave of speculation about the runway's purpose. Some suggest it could be a location used by pilots of small, private planes, while others suspect it may serve less legal purposes, such as smuggling. There are even claims that it might belong to a "secret military base."
According to the website unilad.com, this runway is about 1.3 kilometres long, which is considerably shorter than standard runways, which can measure from 2.4 to even 4 kilometres. Such runways might be intended only for small planes.
What could the runway in the middle of the jungle be used for?
According to experts, small planes landing there might deliver goods to remote villages, such as Arauazinho and Nova Olinda. They also note that there are even shorter runways in the world, measuring only 0.3 kilometres. These are often constructed by wealthy pilots who own their own planes and large properties.
The discovery of this runway in the middle of the jungle via Google Maps demonstrates that today's technology can uncover previously unknown places that hold many secrets.
