Offer Upgrade  User ID: 48601660  United States07/16/2014 04:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seems to be a huge uptick in these events. Anyone have any theories, methane, pole shift,alien port.lol [link to news.msn.com] It was unclear what had caused the gaping crater, about 100 meters in diameter, filmed from the air in Yamal, which means 'the end of the Earth' in the local Nenets language, where temperatures plummet to -50 degrees Celsius (-58 degrees Fahrenheit) and the sun barely rises in winter. An expedition to collect soil and water samples from the site was planned for Thursday with two researchers from the Siberian-based Center for the Study of the Arctic and a scientist from Russia's Academy of Science, state news outlet Vesti reported. TV Zvezda, broadcast by Russia's Defense Ministry, reported the person who shot the video footage as saying the hole appeared to have been caused from below and that the darker soil around its top indicated the effect of high temperatures.

Thats the interesting part, hopefully they get more info on this that we're 'allowed' to hear about!Peace “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
