Same Color Optical Illusion

How are all of you doing out there today? I’m back with a new optical illusion for all of you today, but I have to admit that I’m a little bit surprised. You see, yesterday, during the day, I look outside and I see snow falling down. Now, how is this possible while I’m sitting inside with a sunburn, because the temperature over the weekend was 80 degrees? Wow, that’s some crazy stuff. Did it snow where you’re at?


I have an optical illusion today that is definitely going to trip you out. As a matter of fact, you’re probably not going to believe me on this one, but it’s 100% the truth. Check out the illusion below and then I am going to blow your mind with what I’m going to tell you.


Same Color Optical Illusion






Now, you’re probably think that this is a really cool and trippy image to look at; which it is. However, you’re probably wondering why I said this illusion will blow your mind.


The green and blue swirls in this image are exactly the same color. If you don’t believe me, you can open up Adobe Photoshop and test it for yourself. It’s amazing, but it’s totally true.


Want another optical illusion that will make you think? Have a look at this ticket window optical illusion.

Here is one of the craziest conspiracy theories heard during New Jersey’s 55th Annual UFO Conference: A 14 years old boy named Ted Rice was abducted, along with a girl in his class, by aliens, who performed heart energy surgery to put some of his heart into the girl’s heart. “Your hearts are now merged,” said the alien, said Ted. He fell head over heels for the girl, but unfortunately, because the aliens didn’t put his energy into her soul, and definitely not for any other reasons, she didn’t love him back. This is actually what has been going on with many one-sided crushes as well.
