Holes in the Ground

russian holes in the ground 1

From the end of 1980s a strange phenomena is happening in some Russian forests. People find strange, deep holes.

They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can’t get on the car or truck to bring any device to drill the ground. There is no any soil that should be taken from such deep holes is found.

On this pictures people go down to one of such holes but it just finishes with nothing. There are no any reasonable ideas on how these holes appear and what they are being used for.

      Oh, it’s the asshole of Texas1!

      • nocloud says:

        it sure is the right color

      • Rik says:

        You must be very familiar to recognize it at once.

      • Joe says:

        I thought this was the asshole of Texas. But I’m no expert.

        • Ainsley says:

          I guess Texas has more than one asshole. It seems to have several.

          • Alan says:

            Eh? Wtf is up with Russians hating on Texas. You really don’t have much room to talk. Afterall, you are still backasswards Russia.

            Oh, and we don’t listen to country music or wear cowboy hats anymore. Enjoy your ignorance.

            • Ainsley says:

              Texas is a large and easy target. Come on. At least Russia is trying to remedy its backwardness. Texas seems to be throwing their shit in reverse with their stupid, conservative asses. For example, fighting against cancer preventing vaccines? Hmmm…maybe ya’ll ought to put those cowboy hats back on and turn up the country music so you can live up to the stereotype.

              OOOOH! Burn!

              • Akufen says:

                Maybe you should read up on cancer vaccines, or any vaccine for that matter.

                • Ainsley says:

                  Akufen, maybe you should clarify your comments. Since it is unclear what you are talking about, I cannot respond directly to your comment. As such, I will respond to what I think you meant. It’s not a “cancer vaccine”, nor did I ever say “cancer vaccine”. I was talking about a vaccine that prevents a virus that has been linked to cervical cancer (and more recently to some kinds of throat cancer). Cancer preventing vaccines would reduce one’s risk for developing cancer. I don’t believe there is any such thing as a “cancer vaccine”.

                  Perhaps there are a few things you should read up on.

                  **Sizzle**

              • cody says:

                You’re a fucking idiot. People in Texas don’t wear cowboy hats. you’re a fucking ignorant piece of shit. You probably either do or did get made fun of in school, so now you’re lashing out. get a life, faggot.

            • Roostah says:

              Ainsley is wrong. They do still wear cowboy hats, listen to country music, drink shitty beer and F**K cattle. do you know why commercial airline pilots avoid texas stadium on their way to dfw? Because the cowboys suck.

              • hal durnat says:

                you people think all us people from texas wear cowboy hats,go barefoot, wear blue jeans and date our cousin.
                me and my brudder banged her a few times…but we didnt date her.
                hal

                • Jesse says:

                  So basically the only argument you make against Bush and Texas relationship is the fact that he wasn’t birthed in the state of Texas? He was raised there from the age of 4 years old, and became Governor there lol I mean come on… The governor is the leader of the state.

          • Dean says:

            I assume you mean Bush? If so… he’s not from Texas he just has a ranch in Texas. Texas didn’t have any affiliation to his birth place, though he was raised in Midland, TX. Learn your facts, because otherwise you just show your stupidity. Here, I’ll teach you something about Texas.

            To whoever said we don’t wear cowboy hats, ride horses or listen to country music… you couldn’t be more wrong. I wear a cowboy hat every so often, listen to country music always and have been known to ride a horse a time or two… not ALL the time instead of using a car though like those stupid foreigners think.

            Sure not everywhere does, but there’s still us who do. There’s also those of us who still hate black people too. The, there’s that don’t hate black people but this slavery was fine… and it was. We were just doing what the Africans were doing… buying/selling slaves to do work for their owners. It was going on way before we used ‘em.

            Maybe that’s why we are hated by everyone… we get drunk all the time to whatever we can, listen to country music still, racist, love the death penalty, hate gays and say/do whatever we want.

        • Patricia says:

          Excellent Post…(Funny)

          But please remember he only owns a ranch down here….he was born in New England..so not a real Texan !

      • Mike says:

        Where? I don’t see George Bush anywhere!

      • Is there any reason why y’all hate Texas so much?…or is it just that jealousy kills?..

        • Jimbob says:

          Who would be jealous of the backwards shithole that is Texas? Take Dean’s comments, hate’s blacks/gays and wears a cowboy hat and listens to country music. He’s just admitted to being the typical Texan stereotype. Prick.

    2. cha says:

      first
      that is really strange, anyone know anything about these?

    3. Zaluza says:

      It’s not a Russia, this photos has been taken near Kharkiv, Ukraine.

      • Joshua Cook says:

        in the 80’s The Ukraine was part of russia.

        • TF says:

          No, in the 1980’s, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, not Russia. Don’t correct people when you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about.

        • Topog says:

          Neither existed at that time. Both were part of the Soviet Union.

          • Joshua Cook says:

            ok, this is just stupid as discussions go. By Russia I meant Soviet Union. And TF was right Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, not russia, it was like me saying Nevada is part of California, I simply mispoke. To which i was as ignorant as the article itself, which should have said the holes are either in the former Soviet Union, or the Ukraine etc. But Cursing and being a jackass like TF just shows his equal ignorance.

            • sd says:

              > it was like me saying Nevada is part of Californi

              No it is like you say Germany is a part of USA (becouse USA troops were there and they are in Germany for today!). Its not mispoke it is deep hole ;) in knowledge.

    5. Premas says:

      No maxD, this one will be about anal sex.

    6. Shizo says:

      How deep are the holes? How many of them are there?

    7. Robert says:

      Aliens, it’s true. They have nothing better to do with their time than make patterns in crops and and dig holes in the ground.

      Maybe they were all part of the construction of a tunnel or something that never happened? Holes dug down in order to send building materials down and stuff up or for ventilation or such things. Though most likely some screwed up practical joke.

    8. xyplex2 says:

      Japanese orbital space lasers.

    9. grml says:

      1st: they ARE clearly drilled. You see the marks, there is no doubt about that.

      2nd: Since they have not been filled up with ferroconcrete there is no reason to assume that they were used for construction purposes.

      Therefor the were used to probe for something. Most likely oil or water. No problem to fly in a drill, do the job and fly out again. But they could have marked them for safety reasons…

      • illlich says:

        BUT then where is the left over soil? — they point out no soil left behind, no tracks from heavy machinery. . . .

        Obviously it is the aliens stealing our precious topsoil.

        DAMN ALIENS!!

        • Pacific NW says:

          And no pictures showing anything farther than a few feet away from the hole. Why would you see a pile of dirt or tracks? The photo’s are of the hole.

    10. Thales says:

      It’s really, really weird. Maybe it was digged long ago, when the forest wasn’t so dense. Maybe. For what? Not even the hole knows the answer!

    21. vaxjo says:

      Without knowing anything about the topology or geology of this region I will mention that they remind me of glacial potholes: if there were ever glaciers here they could have bored these holes while they melted away. We have some here in the midwestern US (and in other locations) that are comparable in size. In fact, one of our state parks features them as an attraction:
      http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/interstate/narrative.html

      • Itse Perkele says:

        Well, it is in a forest after all, so it can’t be a pothole, because potholes are drilled in solid rock. plus I don’t think that Ukraine is north enough for glaciers. But I’m just guessing so I might be wrong.

        • Ayekat says:

          For me it doesn’t look like a pothole, too. But I don’t think that Ukraine isn’t north enough for glaciers, because almost whole Europe was under glaciers back then in the ice age.
          Or at least it’s what I learned at school.

      • just bob says:

        Checked out that site….don’t see anything remotely resembling what you are talking about!

    22. i think the goverment was digging holes to search for recources a while back….trees can grow large in 30 years so….

      or it was some secret project.

    23. gorby says:

      i’ve seen very similar ones on large large dry riverbeds caused by a caught rock spinning around with the force of the water. the ones around here can be over 10 feet wide or more. It might be something like this.

    24. hutspot says:

      Perhaps ventilation shafts for an underground mine, tunnel, bunker or some geologist have been busy.

    25. Boris says:

      It can’t be a black hole since that would just go through the whole diameter of Earth, destroying it. Maybe a forgotten USSR-era military unfinished military installment? Or perhaps the glacier theory, since a lot of natural phenomena has occurred in Siberia, such as that heavy meteorite collision.

    26. eye says:

      What did they do with the soil from the drilling? Why, that’s obvious. They dug another hole and put the dirt in that. Easy, when you think about it.

    27. jd.a.v. says:

      gosh, maybe it’s a well. people used to actually dig their own wells for drinking water and irrigation at one point. i grew up with one and there wasn’t a big pile of dirt anywhere in sight. it’s usually used as topsoil for farming. sometimes people used to dig wells and build houses and farms and then abandon them for whatever reason leaving the buildings to decay and open dangerous wells dotting the landscape. ( not to mnetion the fact that test wells for oil and water are routinely drilled all over the planet). there are always these kind of mystery stories with few photos and little or no documnetation coming from russia or china or someplace with no way to easily confirm the information. at least there are photos for this one. there’s a story on fark today about a woman in china whose cat sprouted wings and of course there are no photos.

      I can confirm that my people did it. We used a plasma drill, standard issue old school stuff.

      Why did we do it?

      Because we’re aliens, and that’s just how we roll.

      Did The Soviet Union have skinny rockets … are these old missle silos…?

      Or possibly Chernoble (sp? sry) Earthworms.

      ….funny my verification word is “kgb”

    31. E knee says:

      I believe that these holes are what are called “tree molds.” They appear in areas of volcanic activity. Here are some websites on the subject (with photos).

      http://emvc.geol.ucsb.edu/download/treemolds.php

      http://www.hawaiiweb.com/hawaii/html/sites/tree_molds.html

      • Topog says:

        Nice try, but, emmm.., no. Your tree molds look totally different. They’re not DRILLED, and that’s the point.
        But nice pics you have there anyway, never heart of the moulds before.

    32. diegoboy says:

      Clearly these are drilling sample holes from either govt. or private enterprise.

      Too round to be anything else. Trees would grow back around in the years since it was done.

      These are the holes left by ancient trees that were covered up by some kind of earth movement. The trees rot and leave the holes. There is something similar on a californian beach, I believe.

    44. jamer508 says:

      Well in my opinion this sounds like a load of BS. these holes could have been dug by any given drilling device and as I have worked with a few of these they can in fact be very large and even large enough to dig this “mysterious” hole. We shouldn’t fall victim the internet disease people. Not everyone tells the truth.

    45. Rick says:

      I posted this to my yahoo group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ricksaundersworld/
      and our pal Jana replied:

      Re: creepy russian holes

      I sent this link to my Dad for his opinion and here is what he said
      (he’s a hydrogeologist):

      “It is a karst chimney… the rock is limestone. The “nothing” at the bottom is dirt that has filled it in. It would not end in solid rock. The chimney continues into the roof of a sediment-filled cave.”

    46. Sasha says:

      That’s the weirdest thing I’ve seen out in the boonies like that!

      I’m going to go with a lot of people here and say they are definitely drilled by someone.

      It looks like one of those ground core samples that are taken before you build your house, except much, much bigger.
      It looks like a core sample for something.
      I don’t think it is a well, and I don’t think it is naturally occurring.

      Whoever made them really should have covered them up with something though. It’s really dangerous just leaving them open like that.

      I wonder if the guy inspecting the hole found lots of dead critters at the bottom?

    48. Lyns says:

      In Washington we have holes like that too. What happened was when St. Helens blew in 81 the lava flow burned up the trees and instead of filling in the spots where the trees were before there instead are some cylindrical holes sometimes fifty, to one hundred feet deep.

      This reminds me of it a bit. Perhaps a landslide happened and the tree deteriorated?

    49. flippo says:

      it’s frm the freaking iron cannon frm the freakin GDI!!

      Maybe someone dug it with a shovel.

      Far out idea I know :P

    51. littletimmy says:

      perhaps this could be from military equipment. Maybe a space based satellite that can produce a high powered beam. what better of a place to test it than in a forest.

    52. ahwei says:

      look at the 1st picture and rest of pictures of the hole, it looks very different. the entrance looks rough and muddy if you look at the 1st couple and rest are much more smoother. maybe its fake? if its true then why isnt there pictures showing what is exactly down the hole? because they have made attempt going down the hole already, they should have photograhed pictures and the bottom of the hole.

      If it is not fake, would it be millitary operation left behind since world war II? cant be world warI because russia didnt participate (not as i know of, i need to look back into my history books)

      Somebody posted that these photos has been taken near Kharkiv, Ukraine
      Is this information 100% sure ? ?
      Or maybe they where taken in Kamachatka, which is located in Russuia and not in Ukraine

      Does anybody know about the geology of the region where these photos have been taken ?
      Are there any volcanoes around ?

      I know, All this photos from Kharkov (ukraine)
      volcanoes are not present beside :)
      Hole of 18 m. in depth and 1,2 m. in width, in a wood. And nobody knows its origin. And more, at the bottom of a hole have found a lonely frog.

      Thanks a lot Kharkov !
      I asked about a volcano because they are holes looking a bit like the « tree molds » here in Hawaî:
      http://www.hawaiiweb.com/hawaii/html/sites/tree_molds.html
      I was thinking that this phenomena could have happened with bigger trees during the geological ages …

      So it looks like these holes are not quite recent (20 years or so) and have been drilled.
      But why has the extracted soil been so carefully taken away ?
      To study the stratification or mineral content ?
      No relation with Chernobyl ?
      I think that Kharkiv which is located further away from Chernobyl than Kiev

      Комментарий от Geolox с сайта http://www.kharkovforum.com/showthread.php?t=82917&page=9, эти ребята и нашли дырку

      “Не буду раскрывать местоположение этих дырок поскольку их много и многие остались в таком состоянии (не засыпаные), если вскроеться и факты получат огласку нашу канторку прикроют.
      Раскрываю причину образования этой/х дырок для чего и как мы это делали.
      Нам было поставлена задача выявить залежи кварцевого песка, который в последствии будет применяеться для изготовления стекла. Планировалось и планируеться построить под Харьковом самый большой на Украине стекольный завод.
      По геологическим картам нам были даны определенные высоты полученые путем сейсмического зондирования земной коры в предполагаемых местах залегания песка.
      В связи с отсутствием официального разрешения все работы проводяться вручную, обычно в отдаленных местах и на холмах, т.к. именно здесь наиболее заметны геологические изменения, можно проследить структуру почвы и отсутствуют водоносные слои.
      По прибытию на место мы:
      1. Находили место.
      2. Обозначали высоту на деревьях (не всегда).
      3. Расчищали територию (не всегда).
      4. Копали колодец глубиной от 5 до 30 м.
      5. Брали образцы песка для исследования (посли этого оставляли пустоты и боковые шурфы).
      Копали спиральным методом.
      6. Оставляли банки.
      Применялись следующие инструменты: специальная лопата, ведро (спец.сумка для забора грунта), веревка, тринога, ручная лебедка.
      Обычно на одной точке проводили не более 2 недель, обычно 1 неделю, работали по 5 человек.
      Мы до сих пор мы занимаемся поисками этого песка. Всего на юге Харьковской области на сегодняшний день с 2000 года нами было вырыто более 20 таких пробных скважин.
      Еще планируеться вырыть минимум 6 таких в этом году, и это только нашей группой. Пока платят деньги будем рыть и дальше!!! Пока!!!”

      Nice holes in Hawai

    69. People are comparing these holes in Russia to the holes recently seen in pictures from the Mars imaging satellites. This is simply absurd. These holes are microscopic compared to those on mars. These are clearly created by mechanical process, as you can see in the pictures the holes cut through dirt and clay mixed with stones, and the stones have been cut through as well. It doesn’t take long for trees to mature, and for a one time used trail to disappear back into the forest. Most of these posts appear to come from idiots.

      Everybody knows Russia must get it’s vodka from huge vodka wells, such as this. It simply isn’t possible to manufacture the amount of vodka that is drunk by Russian people every day.

      Also, in Soviet Russia, holes dig you!

    74. This phenomenon also happened a few years ago in the area of Lake Geneva in Switzerland (over night).Same form as on the pictures you show. No traces of the earth, trucks or anything. Farmers living in the area however reported that animals behaved very strangely during the night this happened. The next morning the army locked up the area. It is believed that the drilled looking holes had to do with UFO activity. I have seen the same with my own eyes in Peru and local farmers confirmed having seen a large UFO taking up the earth in just seconds at around 2.pm in the morning. Animals also behaved very strangely and dogs barked like crazy when it happened. I have made pictures and a film with an interview on this phenomenon with local indios. Some ET race seems to be very interested in earth probes from various areas of the globe.

      Well it’s limestone, so all the lava-related things are obviously incorrect. It looks entirely too regular for the usual Karst-related processes like piping and chimney production, which tend to utilise weaknesses in the rock itself and result in fairly irregular structures.

      I think drilled is the probably answer.

      Probably drilled recently too, as the 1m (+/-) of topsoil on the upper slope hasn’t slumped over the opening. The diameter is wrong for coring for samples though. 1.2 m is huge. The usual sampling diameter would be about 5cm. nothing so large.

      At 18m depth, nothing geological would have changed much unless they’re looking for a specific thing like the K/T boundary. But finding an exposure would be cheaper.

      My guess - They were going to install something really big and bored these holes for anchors. Fill them full of re-bar and concrete and a hole that big would hold a very large structure.

      A quick topographical survey might indicate if a pattern was observed in their placement. Since the subject one is on the side of a slope, are there more along the slope or possibly across the valley on the opposing slope?

      -that’s all I got.

      You guys have seen AVP, right? These were tests shots.

    80. I’m a geologist. Holes like this are sometimes drilled while prospecting for mineral deposits. If geologic mapping and the preliminary samples taken at the surface look promising, large diameter holes like these may be drilled to a specific depth where the geologic model predicts the ore is most likely to be found. A large sample is taken from the drill cuttings at this depth and analyzed to determine whether the tenor of the ore is sufficient to support a large investment.

      It is irresponsible to leave holes like this open, as they are a safety hazard. Roping into a hole like this is very dangerous! The air at the bottom may be depleted of oxygen or the air may have been replaced by methane, hydrogen sulfide, or another poisonous gas.

    83. [...] 10th - Strange Holes In Russia — A very strange story here for sure. Evidently, since the 1980’s, folks have been finding deep holes in the Russian Forest — holes which don’t have any evidence of the excavation of earth to make the aimless holes. The pictures on this link will leave your head in a tizzy - who, or what is making these? http://www.englishrussia.com/?p=939 [...]

      Look!

      The hole Putin crawled out of.

      Or, rather…..a Russian whore’s hole.

      Or, both!

      Either way, it’s a big, dirty, deep and probably smelly hole.

      holy shit! LOCUST INVASION!!!

    86. Looking at that hole you would need a extremly big drill and drilling machine to drill such a hole. I would of thought that there would have been marks on the walls of the hole. Looking at the photos, I can’t really see any signs of a drill being used the walls of the hole look very smooth.

      If you read the information at the top it mentions that: They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can’t get a car or truck to bring any device to drill into the ground. And that there is no loose soil surrounding the holes.

      The other question is how long have these holes been there. Are they fairly recent or have they been there for hundreds or possibly even thousands of years.

      The other question I might ask, all though it may sound commpletly stupid seeing as there are no burn marks is if the russians have been testing some kind of laser satalite from outer space and firing the laser beem down to the ground in the middle of know where so that nowbody sees this sort of weapon being used. Just an idea, although totally stupid I suppose.

    88. this cant ppossible be real, and or true! its not very clear either! this clearly is just a hole, probably drilled…but hey your good for trying hahahaha!:):):):):):):):):):)

      I know about one such hole in Czech republic. It is drilled into sandstone on low ridge in forest and nobody knows why. It is better to drill well in the valley; it is improbable that there are any mineral raw materials; it is too small for ICBM… ;-)

      these could be the access shafts for a QUANAT system;tunnels that brings water from the hills, where the water table is high to the lowlands and barren areas. these were dug in eurasia/the middle east many centuries ago and the location of the horizontal tunnel is known by the line of access bores dug from the surface to the water tunnel to allow maintenance and repairs every few miles. its a rather ingenious system but required lots of labor to put into place
