2nd Siberian Crater found

[FogerRox]

Very similar to the first crater, both were found in Yamal Siberia, about 20 miles apart.

The second hole is "exactly" like the first one, but "much smaller," local lawmaker Mikhail Lapsui told the Interfax-Ural news agency. "Inside the crater itself, snow can be seen." - See more at: http://www.independent.mk/articles/7681/Mystery+Behind+Giant+Hole+in+Siberia+Clearer+as+Second+Discovered#sthash.DSBpnYpj.dpuf

1. Uh oh.

This means it came back out...

[scarletwoman]

5. ...

[jwirr]

2. Has anyone been able to measure how deep these holes are yet?

[Agschmid]

3. Article the OP links to says 70m.

[Warpy]

18. 50-70 meters for the first one.

Mother Earth appears to be burping methane.

20. At least they have a bottom. They looked bottomless.

4. Call Karl Spackler...

the giant gophers are at it again!

6. Mua~dib...

[kentuck]

7. Aliens, much, much larger than humans were taking soil samples...

They probably walked the 20 miles in just a few steps...

8. The clatharates will be coming soon.

I predict at most 2020. Need to get some of that arctic sea ice melted first.

13. why, is he a back door man? nt

10. I was afraid of that, if these things starting popping up like

zits on a teenager's face, this could be a real problem.

I'm not an expert either but it does seem logical to me.

Methane is frozen in the permafrost and/or trapped under ground.

Dark colors absorb heat and an open cavity would surely release any close, trapped gases underneath that permafrost location.

One pingo may not make too much difference but a bunch of them would be worrisome.

Thanks for the thread, FogerRox.

11. What's the joke about the well digger who doesn't know...

...something.

16. This is kind of like what happened in Fantastic Four Part Deux

Except that nobody saw that movie. And with good reason.

17. mystery like crop circles?

very interesting crater form looks more like a shaft created by high energy that cylinder shape is something special.

Or the Russians have an incredible formula to displace matter like that. If it is natural accident it reveals an incredible power if harnessed for military use.

Every where my studies take me in mathematics always leads me to some Russian that already is investigating that science of numbers in physics. The Russians are incredible at mathematics compared to Americans.

19. Crop circles are no mystery
