Case No. #1387
Case File: Periodic Spatial Perception Distortion, Accompanying Visualization of Specific Color Spectrum, Sound Dissipation, and Temporal Perception Anomaly in Ennedi Plateau, Chad
Summary
In a specific location within Chad's Ennedi Plateau, a phenomenon of periodic spatial distortion accompanied by a shift in visual perception to a particular color spectrum has been observed. This anomaly involves the complete dissipation of ambient sound and a significant alteration of temporal perception. The incident aligns with descriptions of 'Land of Illusions' from local oral traditions, and the authorities are documenting it as a long-standing unexplained case. While indirect physical evidence has been obtained through measurements, the direct cause of the phenomenon remains unknown.
Details
On March 14, 2018, at 10:30 AM, a French reconnaissance unit, operating in conjunction with the Chadian military, encountered an inexplicable phenomenon while traversing the deep regions of the Ennedi Plateau. According to their reports, GPS devices abruptly malfunctioned, and radio communication ceased. Simultaneously, their entire field of vision became saturated with a deep, eerie blue-green hue, and all ambient sounds vanished completely. All personnel reported a profound loss of temporal perception, stating that several minutes felt like an eternity.
Similar reports are found in the oral traditions of the Toubou people, who have inhabited this region for centuries. They refer to this location as 'Tibey Du Kou' (Land of Illusions) and have warned against approaching it during certain times. Their traditions include descriptions such as 'the earth breathes, the world changes color, and voices are taken away,' which surprisingly align with the reconnaissance unit's experience. A geological survey team in the 1970s also recorded similar anomalies, but no detailed investigation followed.
In September 2019, authorities dispatched an investigation team to the incident site. The team identified the phenomenon's locus and installed an extensive sensor network. Multiple automated data loggers recorded widespread electromagnetic noise and extremely subtle gravitational fluctuations on several occasions, coinciding with the phenomenon's occurrence. However, this data provides only indirect evidence of the phenomenon and fails to directly explain the core elements of visual, auditory, and temporal alteration.
Video data automatically recorded during the phenomenon was filled with intense noise and unclear color distortions, with the audio track entirely missing. Analysis suggested sound absorption in specific frequency bands and an abnormal change in the transmittance of particular light wavelengths. However, it remains unconfirmed whether this is due to spatial distortion itself or an unknown physical phenomenon.
The investigation team concluded that this phenomenon cannot be explained by mere mass hallucination or environmental factors. The case suggests the possibility of localized spatial alteration. The simultaneous occurrence of electromagnetic anomalies and gravitational fluctuations strongly indicates the presence of an unknown energetic influence.
Currently, the phenomenon's recurrence cycle and specific triggers have not been identified. This 'Land of Illusions' continues to deepen its mystery. Authorities plan to maintain continuous surveillance and implement more advanced observation technologies.
The case remains unexplained. The conditions for the phenomenon's onset and resolution are not understood, and the authorities are monitoring developments.

Witness Testimony
French Reconnaissance Unit Member AMy vision suddenly turned a deep, unsettling blue-green. It was like being underwater, but without the struggle to breathe. There was simply no sound; I could see my comrades' mouths moving, but heard nothing. Those few minutes felt like an eternity.
French Reconnaissance Unit Member BThe GPS was completely dead, and the radio went silent. The rocks around us seemed to melt, and the ground undulated. Looking at my watch, time seemed to progress strangely. I still don't understand what happened.
Toubou ElderIt is the ancient Land of Illusions. When the earth begins to breathe, the world changes color, and voices are stolen. Never approach it. It deceives travelers and steals time.
Kyu's Analysis
An inexplicable case. Localized alteration of space itself is suggested. Continuous monitoring and further investigation are required.
