A camera aboard the ISS identifies mysterious inscriptions in the Tunisian desert

By: Elora Bain

On April 15, 2025, on the occasion of the International Space Station (ISS) above Tunisia, strange brands were identified at a desert region of the North African country. It is a 4K camera, called “SpaceTV-1” by its operator Sen Corporation Ltd, which was able to capture these mysterious signs. The Anglo-Gallen company provides services including the dissemination of real-time videos from space for individuals and businesses.

As the Debrief explains, Sen’s cameras fleeing this desert and sandy area when they immortalized what spokespersons for the firm say “Look like a mysterious writing engraved in the sand”. We can actually detect some symbols seeming to have been traced on the ground, causing a feeling similar to that caused by crop circlesthese patterns which sometimes appear in certain cereal fields.

Captivating images

A video recently published by Sen Corporation on YouTube makes it possible to contemplate the famous Scriptures, which immediately fascinated observers. Thirty seconds is enough to make the investigation or scaffold a thousand theories want to conduct the investigation. Could this be the first sign of an extraterrestrial visit?

Society unfortunately hardly lasts the suspense: these inscriptions would have an explanation all that is earth to earth. “Although it may seem a cryptic message, it is in fact a striking view of agricultural patterns in the desert landscape”can we read in the legend accompanying the video. In other words, the inscriptions in question would be purely and simply due by human hand.

More precisely, the authors of these entries would be farmers working in the area. These were not contacted and therefore could not provide more details on this practice. Lovers of supernatural stories and UFO researchers can in any case go browse elsewhere: this is an absolute false alert.

This is not the first time of the year that high resolution images provided by Sen Corporation created the fascination before disappointing. On April 12, the company’s cameras were indeed capturing a series of unusual lights above the Falklands. We would learn a little later that they emanated from LED fixed on fishing boats. Another mystery in the shape of a wet firecracker.
