What's the unexplained phenomenon?

unexplained phenomenon Google Doodle

UPDATE: New crop circles Google Doodle

For a few hours now Google Australia displays the „unexplained phenomenon“ Google Doodle but no one really knows what it means. If you click it, you get the unexplained phenomenon search results page. Germany also has it’s version of the Doodle called „Rätselhaftes Phänomen“ which pretty much translates to unexplained phenomenon. Google Russia also has it’s version called „необъяснимые явления“.

What is it about?

Surely the US will soon get the unexplained phenomenon Doodle and more and more people are about to get crazy about it’s meaning. Is it a gag? An experiment? A self-reference? Is there someone at Google laughing at us?

Enlighten us!!! Spooky, isn’t it? Call Mulder and Scully!

Feel free to post a comment if you can clarify the unexplained phenomenon.

UPDATE:

Googletweeted: 1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19.

Translated into letters it reads: All your o are belong to us

Some of you should remember… :-) read at Wikipedia…

      I don´t know what it means!!! ahhhhhh I´m a little bit nervous!!

      • normal person

        Hi!

        Why people need to complicate easy things? Because, they want to believe that live it’s more interesting and they always want to see what their like to see…So, they never see the true and monotone real face of life… That’s happens today again, when a lot of people try to explain a symbol that means nothings that all and it’s to see their reaction because all people forget that yesterday was the 11th birthday of the opening of Google headquarters. And nobody remember… So now that play like when we forget the birthday of someone…

        Good Luck and stop to dramatize for no intelligent things

    Its a joke.

    • Louis

      Here are some likely explanations:

      A. Google is just having some fun with the public.
      B. There is some anniversary that we don’t know about.
      C. Google is running some sort of test/experiment with news items updates.
      D. It is a paid for advert (PLEASE NO)
      F. Gogle have run out of ‘O’s.
      G. Aliens HAVE infiltrated Google.

  3. We’ve got it in Canada too, FYI. This seems to be another incident of Google pranking the entire world. Nice that a giant corporation can maintain a sense of humor.

    the doodle has arrived in US. meaning??

  5. Brad

    I took it to be that not having an explaining tool tip, like usual, was “unexplained phenomenon”. Why it appears on Sept 04 or 05, though, I don’t know.

  6. Sheila

    It’s just another “unexplained phenomenon”…

  7. Could this possibly be related to GMAIL Going down around the World phenomenon 2 days ago?? Hmm..

    I think they picked the unexplained phenomenon doodle because alien communication/contact is unpredictable. You could be abducted next week and nobody can tell you when because its, as I said ,unpredictable.

    I am freaked out. 10 minutes ago my computer screen went dark for a few minutes. I couldn’t figure out why. Monitor was on, computer was working right… but no image. This is a nice computer I bought in 2005, and it has never done anything like this before. Then suddenly the image came back. Then I get on google, one of my favorite pass-times… and I see the UFO doodle …???? what is it there for?? somebody explain…
    I am also a little worked up after just watching ghost stories and a bigfoot documentary……. feeling a little scared of the paranormal tonight. And google’s mysterious doodle isn’t helping!!

    Uh… it’s a joke, everybody. There IS no explanation for the doodle. That’s the joke.. it’s an UNEXPLAINED phenomenon = UNEXPLAINED doodle on Google.

  33. christopher Turre

    In 1952 there was a sighting of an unidentified flying object. ever since then people have been searching for these ufos. well, tonight on september 4th 2009 i saw a ufo, and i put up this doodle up to warn others. THERE IS OTHERS OUT THERE! AND THEY ARE COMING TO GET ME!!! THEY WILL GET YOU TOO!!!

    one love,

  34. darealest

    The “unexplained phenomenon” link itself is an unexplained phenomenon. So it’s kind of a play on itself.

  35. ufo

    Exeter UFO festival or date UFO’s were sited at Six Flags. Maybe they wanted to raise the seventh flag…

  36. canadaguy

    its in canada now also

  37. wow

    thats weird lol

  38. Elliott

    Weird I just saw the US one. When you hover over it it doesnnt even display a title. Maybe they are doing just trying to fit the description of the doodle. UFO’s are mysterious and it’s mysterious that they have it as a doodle.

  39. Werner

    It’s an unexplained phenomenon, which it would cease to be if someone explained it.

  40. BJ

    Interesting how this UPGD coinsides with the First Exeter, NH UFO Festival
    Exeter is considered a mecca for when it comes to ufo-logy.
    Hmmmmmmm…..

  41. Mitch

    Canada has it too! What the hell :\

    If someone could explain it then it would not be an Unexplained Phenomenon.

  51. It could be that “District 9″ was released today in the UK. However, it was released elsewhere back in August.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_9

    Seems a bit out of character for google so there really is no telling at this time. I can confirm the doodle is showing up in the US (Seattle). And your site is the only one indexed referring to the doodle.

  52. wendy whellmun

    Well it is there to show the day that someone mad a big fuss about seeing a ufo and crop circles. IT is there to represent these sightings.

  53. adriana

    district 9?

  54. love adriana

    The fact the Guardian’s Bad Science column has now surpassed 300 articles may indicate that the public’s interest in debunking myths is nearly as voracious as their appetite for the paranormal and unexplained – the subject of a special edition Google logo today.

  55. Mohammed

    Getting it on Google UK also.

  56. Edward

    I think Google is trying to compete with Bing – Microsoft’s rival search engine. Bing’s homepage always has a beautiful picture with many links that are associated with the picture. The Google Doodle now seems dull in comparison. So Google is trying to up its game by having the Google Doodle seem more interesting.

  57. A couple other things. September 5th 1977 (32 years), Voyager 1 is launched. September 5th 1984 (25 years), Space Shuttle Discovery landed is maiden voyage.

  63. brad

  64. Dan John

    I think it might be a sly promotion for the film “District 9″ because here in oz when u click on it it goes to a site which mentions the movie and has pics from it. Well I’m off to see it tonight, spooky co-incidence, maybe? I don’t really think so I will always see anything Peter Jackson’s involved with. see-ya

  65. Jeff

    Maybe the immage itself is an “unexplained phenomena.”

  66. Schaffner

    Boo!

  67. The answer is simple. Human nature. We are afraid of the dark! We are afraid because we are not ready.

    We are afraid of the dark until we know what is there, and we want to know. It is our nature, our mission, our innate instinct. To boldly go…..

    We are afraid of the dark, always have been, always will be, if it is dark enough.
    Outer space is about as dark as it gets. And we hate being afraid. We love to conquer our fears.

    We are afraid of the dark and we hope that what ever may be there comes to us first because that is technically easier (for us).

    We are afraid of the dark and we are impatient. we can not wait for us to get there, where ever it is we have not gone, be it across the street, around the block, the other side of the mountain, across the sea, the bottom of the ocean, the Moon, Mars, the nearest galaxy (Andromeda).

    We are afraid of the dark and we want to know what is there. When we discover it is nothing to be afraid of the desire weakens. We seek the answers to: life, the universe, and everything, but more than anything we seek to conquer our fears.

    Discovery! Eureka! Enlightenment! The true rewards in life. Joyous moments are all about these feelings. Discovery is our nature. We will either achieve our goal or die trying. That which we do not understand, which worries us, which we are afraid of, which may be in the dark that we have yet to discover. This is what drives us, gives us a purpose, a mission in life.

    Have an apple, and turn out the lights.

    Ever sit in a cave, alone, in the dark, far underground, no sound, no light, nothing? Do it for 5 minutes, then 10, then an hour. Your thought will change. Some people would go crazy within a day or two.

    It is simple. We are afraid of the dark. We are afraid because we are not ready.

  68. So let me get this straight…

    You’re asking for an explanation for “unexplained phenomenon”?

    =P

  69. ObamaLies

    Have a look at any blog or youtube account and you can find more and more instances of UFO disclosure.
    there is a theory that the hidden geneology of Pres.Obama is so that he can disclose the truth about the US involvement in developing black ops programmes, that there has been Tec on this earth left from extra trestrial higher inteligent beings.
    search on google vid or even youtube for Bill cooper, Alan Watt or even DR JONATHAN REED.

    Just noticed the UFO Google Doodle. I figured it was an anniversary of Roswell or something.
    What day did the ‘Roswell Crash’ happen?

    Hopefully Google hasn’t sold out to lame movie promotional stunts, etc.

    good question.
    date is 9/5/9 does that have any significance in history?

  75. mom

    Well …Here’s MY explanation IMO, picture this: seeing as there is word out there that the President was talking about Mexico privatizing their oil and stuff … the darn google doodle just looks to me like a Mexican Salt-shaker … a huge transparent Mexican, in a huge mexican hat … who swallowed a huge round jumping bean; and we all know what happens to people who eat BEANS …. right?

  76. michy w

    People you do not believe it honestly, that this is genuine or if you come check the features of the Google doodle picture or who can not pursue any other addresses back out than Google ….. So the shock or technical evidence is the only one manpulieren more difficult if people can as I have tried to trace back!! this is all propaganda so that more people google people worldwide visit and whether you believe it or not, I’m only a child Bielefeld Laboratory School yuhu

    maybe its an unexplained phenomenom in itself that the logo appeared on the site. maybe nobody put it there.. it was created. and it just appeared..

  100. a

    I’m not sure what it is but we have it in the US now I was wondering what it was about as well. It can’t be about Roswell because that didn’t happen in September.

  101. sow_b

    even worse- i found this website listed in first page of search results for ‘unexplained phenomenon’ once i clicked the google doodle! thats some fast page ranking i say!

  102. I wondered the same thing. Thankfully this post hit the top of the news results, so I can confirm others are confused too.

    This sort of thing is supposed to be reserved for actual events.. but maybe it’s just nonsense this time?

  103. David Fish

    Well all I know is, that it’s now on the UK Google page, and if you click it, this article is in the top three results.

    I’ll be watching this space for a definative answer…..

  104. Aryo Iranzadeh

    Yea I agree, it’s very weird, I hope nothing bad is bound to happen.

  105. Simple, Robbie Williams (a self confessed UFO nutter) released on radio airplay his new single and new album. Even the Google front page can be bought for the right money ;-)

  106. Jonathon Brogan

    The most likely cause of this unexplained phenomenon is the release of “District 9″ the latest film from Director Neil Blomkamp.

  107. Guess there’s too much Parrot Head in me…at first glance, it looked like a salt shaker wearing a sombrero. But then again, since since I lost my shaker of salt, it showing up as a Google Doodle that represents unexplained phenomena certainly makes sense.

    why do you need to do this crap, why is everything such a mess

    They have that as the logo in England too now. If the logo on google changes it is generally beacause of like a birthday of a famous person or a special day. I have never seen anything like this. It is slightly random too.

    The logo is now on the front page of Google Uk.(http://www.google.co.uk/) If the google logo changes then it is generally beacause of a famous persons birthday or because of a special day. But i have never seen something like this before. This is slightly random and freaky at the same time.

    Google trending topics right now show two of the top ten trends as #1 unexplained phenomenon and #6 “top 10 unexplained phenomena.” And the Google logo today seems to go right along with that topic.
    The logo represents “unexplained phenomena” like UFOs. Because of the logo, a chicken-egg question naturally arises: is it a coincedence that the logo today represents unexplained phenomena, or are people searching for unexplained phenomena because of the logo?

  128. I was watching the Discovery Channel last night, and they were showing the “The way the world will end – part 256″ and once again the Mayan Calendar predicted this event. Is there no end to what those Mayan’s knew? Anyway…the show went on to tell us about how Nostradomus and a few other highly credible religious folks have all said that September 2009 would be the end of the human race, and that we would start seeing signs starting on the 5th of the month.

    Google’s crawler was just simply efficient enough in it’s ability to scour the depths of human knowledge (all of it being contained directly on the internet) to find the sign for us and post it prominently on the front page.

    I’m not sure what the rest of you are planning, but I’m going to contact the IHC right away and secure my legacy within some cave somewhere that is completely safe from flood / meteor impact / alien rain of terror / wrath of god. I urge the rest of you to do the same.
