Brazil, also known as Hy-Brazil or several other variants, is a phantom island which was said to lie in the Atlantic ocean west of Ireland. In Irish myths it was said to be cloaked in mist, except for one day each seven years, when it became visible but still could not be reached. It probably has similar roots to other mythical islands said to exist in the Atlantic, such as Atlantis, St. Brendan's Island and the Isle of Mam. The etymology of the names Brazil and Hy-Brazil are unknown but in Irish traditon it is thought to come from the Irish Uí Breasail (meaning "descendants (i.e., clan) of Breasal"), one of the ancient clans of northeastern Ireland. cf. Old Irish: Í: island; bres: beauty, worth; great, mighty.
Hy-Brazil was originally thought to be the origin of the name of the modern country of Brazil. However, the generally accepted theory now states that Brazil was named for the brazilwood, which has an extreme red color (so "brasil" derived from "brasa": ember), a plant very valuable in Portuguese commerce and abundant in the new-found land.

Nautical charts identified an island called "Bracile" west of Ireland in the Atlantic Ocean as far back as 1325, in a portolan chart by Angelino Dulcert. Later it appeared as Insula de Brasil in the Venetian map of Andrea Bianco (1436), attached to one of the larger islands of a group of islands in the Atlantic. This was identified for a time with the modern island of Terceira in the Azores
A Catalan chart of about 1480 labels two islands "Illa de brasil", one to the south west of Ireland (where the mythical place was supposed to be) and one south of "Illa verde" or Greenland.
On maps the island was shown as being circular, often with a central strait or river running east-west across its diameter. Despite the failure of attempts to find it, it appeared regularly on maps lying south west of Galway Bay until 1865, by which time it was called Brazil Rock.

Expeditions left Bristol in 1480 and 1481 to search for the island, and a letter written by Pedro de Ayala shortly after the return of John Cabot from his expedition in 1497 reports that land found by Cabot had been "discovered in the past by the men from Bristol who found Brasil".

Some historians claim that the navigator Pedro Álvares Cabral thought that he had reached this island in 1500, thus naming the country of Brazil. However, Cabral didn't choose the name 'Brazil'. The country was at first named Ilha de Vera Cruz (Island of the True Cross), later Terra de Santa Cruz (Land of the Holy Cross) and only later 'Brazil'.
Later, various people claimed to have seen the island off the coast of Ireland, or even landed on it, the last supposed sighting being in 1872. In 1674 Captain John Nisbet claimed to have seen the island when on a journey from France to Ireland. He stated the island was inhabitated by large black rabbits and a magician who lived alone in a stone castle. Roderick O'Flaherty in A Chorographical Description of West or H-Iar Connaught (1684) tells us "There is now living, Morogh O'Ley (Murrough Ó Laoí), who imagins he was personally on O'Brasil for two days, and saw out of it the iles of Aran, Golamhead, Irrosbeghill, and other places of the west continent he was acquainted with."
Hy-Brazil has also been identified with Porcupine Bank, a shoal in the Atlantic Ocean about 200 kilometers (124 mi) west of Ireland and discovered in 1862. As early as 1870 a paper was read to the Geological Society of Ireland suggesting this identification. The suggestion reappears regularly since, e.g. in an 1883 edition of Notes and Queries and in various publications in the twentieth century, one of the most recent being Graham Hancock's book Underworld: Flooded Kingdoms of the Ice Age.

You know whats cool, this Island is supposed to only be seen every 7 years. the last supposed sighting was in 1872. The next year this island is going to pop up in the seven year theory would therefore be, 2012. How f'ing cool is that? Wonder if Google Maps will catch it on satellite? :p

This is an actual episode of History Channel... The show is called Ancient Aliens and they base themselves on a hypothesis of earlier alien contact in the history of mankind. They aren't actually affirming that Hy Brasil exists, but only appointing the possibility of such thing being true. One must pay attention to what it listens and be aware of what's is being said, before judging. It's one of my favorite episodes by the way.
