"Demons from Hell Are Waiting for Zelenskyy": Unexplained Seismic Tremors Monitored Globally
— Could the phenomenon be caused by Cthulhu or a "Nutcracker 2.0"?
Author: Andrey Zakharchenko
Seismic anomalies have been simultaneously recorded across all corners of the globe, from Antarctica to the Arctic Circle. These anomalies are unique due to their uniform wave characteristics, which differ from any known geological processes on Earth. The vibrations occurred regularly for nine consecutive days, each lasting exactly 92 seconds.
Scientists have proposed theories to explain this phenomenon, referred to as the "Unknown Seismic Object." One explanation suggests that large-scale ocean waves colliding with continental and island coastlines could produce such synchronized earth tremors, as the natural process typically takes about 1.5 minutes.
While this theory holds some plausibility, questions arise: Why has no similar natural phenomenon been documented before? This may relate to several factors. Although seismic observation technology has rapidly advanced in recent decades, previous sensors may not have been sensitive enough to detect this phenomenon. Alternatively, its occurrence may be so rare that it has never been recorded in human history regarding Earth's seismic activity.
The Public Panic
As researchers continue to hypothesize, ordinary people, when faced with the unknown, tend to seek various "omens" within the event. Notably, on May 15, when an earthquake struck Turkey, Zelenskyy, the leader of the Kiev regime, was present there attempting to push his peace negotiation agenda. In Russia, jokes began circulating, suggesting that the earth tremors were a subtle reminder from the underworld: Hell awaits, and it is time for him to embark on his journey there.
On European social networks, conspiracy theorists claimed this was a form of "Nutcracker 2.0" underground testing, with "developers" being Russia, which allegedly plans to erase Europe from the face of the Earth after breaking ties with Kiev.
Interestingly, Ukrainian media reported on May 11 that earthquakes occurred in the Izmail and Reni regions of Odessa province, describing these areas as repeatedly attacked by Russia, sometimes without knowing the source of the attacks. American enthusiasts of mysterious phenomena immediately put forward the theory that "Cthulhu is about to awaken," recalling the low-frequency sound "Bloop" detected multiple times by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the most mysterious "Nemo Point" region of the Pacific in 1997. In Howard Lovecraft's works, this area was described as containing the sunken city of R'lyeh where the ancient god of fear sleeps.
Although the source of this sound was later explained as the cracking of glaciers and icebergs, initial U.S. scientists insisted that the energy of "Bloop" could only be emitted by a living organism far larger than the blue whale, the largest creature on Earth. Other panic-prone individuals worldwide claimed that this "Unknown Seismic Object" signals impending cosmic geological disasters. They used examples of daily earthquakes occurring globally since May to support their views: On May 4, a 5.4 magnitude earthquake hit Texas and Mexico; on May 8, a similar earthquake occurred near Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky; on May 11, 4.6 and 4.2 magnitude earthquakes hit the South Kuril Islands and western Kazakhstan, respectively; on May 12, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Tonga coast; on May 13, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake occurred near Naples; on May 15, an earthquake hit Turkey; and on May 20, telegraph channels reported two ancient volcanoes in Indonesia beginning to erupt, followed by another earthquake near Myanmar.
How Does the Scientific Community Respond?
To this, senior seismologists merely smiled, dismissing the global phenomenon as non-catastrophic, noting that earthquakes are a normal part of Earth's activities. Alexey Zavyalov, Chief Researcher at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth and Head of the Laboratory of Seismic Hazard at the Russian Academy of Sciences, explained to Izvestia: "The tectonic plates move relative to each other at speeds of millimeters to tens of millimeters per year. This motion can be horizontal or involve subduction, such as the Pacific Plate subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate along the eastern coast of Kamchatka. When the uneven edges of the plates catch on each other, local stress builds up because the force driving plate movement persists. Eventually, the caught protrusions break, causing one plate to suddenly move relative to the other, generating the seismic waves we perceive."
Izvestia: Besides plate movements, are there other activities that might trigger earthquakes, such as human activities or glacial melting?
Zavyalov: "Geophysics includes the field of 'glaciological seismology,' involving permafrost and glaciers. For instance, during ancient times, glaciers extended into what is now St. Petersburg and even further south in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Later, climate change led to the retreat of these glaciers. Physically speaking, glaciers exert additional pressure on tectonic plates, and their retreat means this pressure is removed, allowing previously compressed strata to gradually return to their original state. This process once triggered stronger earthquakes in those regions.
There is also the concept of 'human-induced seismicity' in science. Essentially, for example, when a truck passes by and you feel ground vibrations, that's an earthquake, albeit a very small one. Human activities such as mining operations—both open-pit and underground—and interventions like building hydroelectric dams on rivers fall under this category. While it may seem everything is normal after the dam is built and turbines start generating electricity, the localized pressure increase caused by reservoir water storage also increases the burden on the crust, potentially triggering certain types of seismic activity in traditionally non-seismic zones.
A notable case is the Koyna Dam in India, constructed in the mid-1960s. Before the dam was built, the region was considered aseismic, but shortly afterward, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred, causing immense panic."
Izvestia: Can it now be concluded that, influenced by human activities, new seismic belts have emerged on Earth? Can modern science predict strong earthquakes in certain regions?
Zavyalov: "No new geological processes or discoveries have been observed that could lead to an increase in global earthquakes as speculated by the media. The scientific community clearly knows which areas on Earth typically experience earthquakes—along plate boundaries. However, it should be noted that the frequency and intensity of earthquakes vary at different locations within these zones, and some high-risk seismic areas have never recorded earthquakes or only experienced minor ones.
There is a joke in seismology: 'Wherever there are no seismometers installed to monitor surface vibrations, earthquakes do not occur.' It is worth mentioning that from the perspective of predicting the possibility of strong earthquakes in traditional seismic zones, weak crustal movements and minor earthquakes are precisely what researchers focus on, as they provide clues about the probability of strong earthquakes occurring in terms of time and space. Unfortunately, the scientific communities of countries such as Russia, the United States, Japan, and Australia cannot currently determine the specific magnitude, epicenter location, or exact time of such natural disasters. I believe it will still be difficult to achieve this in the next few decades."
