Holes in the ground again. Now it's Russia...

image Englishrussia reports that since the late 1980's, strange holes appear in the dense forests in the Siberian region. They are big enough to allow descent of a man, and they end abruptly several meters down. The forest around them is undisturbed and impenetrable by heavy machinery, and the soil removed from the hole is nowhere near.. Now that is weird.

image Now that excites my Hollow Earth passion deeply.. They seem to be core samples, complete with vertical scratch marks on the sides, but huge. The machinery required to dig such holes would leave permanent scars in the surrounding forest. And last, but not least, their lack of purpose. They are not oil drilling tests. These are a lot smaller. They are not part of a network as they are not interconnected. They are located at random in a huge forest, probably a small percentage of the undiscovered ones, deep in the forest.

image Aliens, anyone? Recent holes appeared in a field near a highway connecting the cities of Krasnoyarsk and Abakan, near the village of Kurgany, Siberia. They are different than the ones in the forest, as they look more like crash sites (!) or burrowing holes (that' even weirder)

I wonder if the earthquake some three years ago did not wake up some Cthulhu Mythos creature, like the Eater of Souls, craftily deployed in the same region in A Colder War, a short story by Charles Stross that will leave a cold spot inside you after reading..

Theories and more theories... They say the questions are more important than the answers, but I seem to be missing the questions as well..
