MYTHICAL ISLAND OF LILLIPUT FINALLY REDISCOVERED
*This image is copyright of its original author
Melbourne| A small australian fishing boat operating in the Indian Ocean, could have accidentally rediscovered the long lost islands of Lilliput and Blefuscu, popularized in the 19th century by the litterary work of Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels, paving the way for a long and unfructuous treasure hunt that went on for centuries.
The small vessel derived from its course during the night and found itself washed ashore on a sand bank. The crew of three men were rapidly assaulted by a group of tiny humanoids using toy-sized black-powder weapons. The seamen achieved to push their boat back to the sea and barely escaped with their lives. All three suffer numerous pin-sized bullet wounds and show signs of post-traumatic stress syndrome.
Althought Mister Swift had always claimed that his story was entirely true and that Lilliput really existed, most scientists and intellectuals had agreed to consider the work as a far fetched, satirical fiction, too different from any other scientific work to be taken seriously into account. Some known scholars of the 20th century had however directed some serious researches to try and locate the mysterious island, like Dr Frederick Bracker[1] or Lord Arthur E. Case[2], but all were unsucessful.
It seems that the tiny archipelago located south of the australian mainland, was actually only 365 kilometers away from the location estimated by the author, but had escaped notice due to its small size. Both the Australian government and the United Nations have already announced that they would send delegations to try and open relations with the locals.

This is so sketchy. I'm not buying it. You probably got this crap from worldnewsdaily which often shows fake news. The same site also said in 2014 January, that Mcdonalds would start weighing their customers.
This story is fake. Don't buy it.
