UFO landing site? Meteorite crater? Scientists baffled by gigantic 262ft hole that has appeared at Siberia's 'End of The World'

Enormous crater appears suddenly in part of Russia whose name translates as 'the end of the world'
Teams of scientists are rushing east to fathom the cause of this unusual - and rare - geographical occurrence
One especially outlandish theory talks about a UFO landing as a possible cause of this colossal chasm in the earth

Now this hole either cant be new or something very hot made it. Because there are grooves. and that kind of erosion would take many many years.

So, Im going to have to go with first gut instinct. something really really hot landed there like a metal ball meteor.

or? hmm where is it then...

The ejecta field doesn't go out very far and it should be more regular. The sides of this crater are irregular. Holey Siberia Batman ! Crater-hole-distance-siberia-600

A usual meteor impact should look like this. Of course, the impact crater below is in an atmosphere-free environment.

Maybe it was a methane explosion, like some have postulated.

Looks to me like a sinkhole..that weed sticking out isn't burned nor is the sod around it...it's just hanging down like the bottom dropped out...

Subject: Re: Holey Siberia Batman ! Thu Jul 17, 2014 8:45 pm

But, why would shit be ejected out around the edges?

Sinkholes just fall in.

I agree I have problem with sink hole and gas. The coloration of the soil a And uniform shallow upheaval around the rim

Doesn't look like ejecta to me looks more like it was the fringe of a mound that had the middle cave in...

What eyes you looking with, Batman? A mound? Really?

I'm not usually this crass but...

It's neither as big nor as inexplicable a Russian hole as this one :

Plants That Grow In Permafrost Areas

The Arctic or tundra climate is home to the two types of plants that can survive in the Permafrost areas. The trees are: Bilbury and Cotton Grass. Although it is very hard for plants to grow in the Tundra climate because of harsh winds and and cold temperatures, permafrost help these two plants to grow.

Yeah... what he said. Cool

Black spruce grow on our permafrost here, so those trees Teo mentioned must be what grows in Russia. All kinds of stuff grows on the permafrost.
