Mysterious, mysterious and inexplicable phenomena rarely have single manifestations. Usually, as soon as the press reports on the existence of a certain phenomenon in any area of the Earth, then immediately reports from other regions of the planet begin to arrive that similar manifestations of mysterious forces are known there. Or the incident, for some time, is repeated in other places. However, a truly scientific solution to inexplicable phenomena, the study of their totality is extremely rare.
The appearance on our planet of mysterious wells, unexpectedly appearing in places well-studied by man, did not escape this fate. The first report on this phenomenon in the USSR was made at a seminar held in the city of Petrozavodsk. In 1989, this seminar brought together researchers of anomalous phenomena that defy explanation based on modern scientific knowledge, from all of our then-immense Motherland.
The authors of the message said that they managed to find a mysterious phenomenon on the Taman Peninsula, located in the Krasnodar Territory. In the area of the village of Gladkovskaya, at the top of one of the local mounds, mysterious holes in the ground were discovered, for convenience they were called wells.
The holes that suddenly appeared on the top of the mound were mysterious in everything. Local residents told the scientists that earlier the mound was no different from the others, and the time of their appearance was about one and a half to two years. Moreover, no one saw the very moment of their formation.
On a flat area at the top of the hill, apparently, as many as five inexplicable holes in the ground appeared simultaneously. The wells are located at equal distances from each other, along an ideal circle with a diameter of twelve meters. The shape of each of these phenomenal wells is also rather strange: it resembles a truncated cone - as it deepens into the earth, the diameter of the hole increases. The diameter of each of the holes protruding to the surface is exactly two meters. The depth is different and is three or more meters. This may be due to ground heterogeneities. There are no dumps of soil in the area of the wells, their walls are covered with a solid, melted-looking substance. It seems that the soil from the top of the hill has simply evaporated due to the unusually high temperature.
The researchers naturally chipped off some of the fused structure and turned it over for scientific research. This sample was studied in Kiev by specialists from the Paton Electric Welding Institute. The conclusions were quite unexpected. The presented sample consisted of expanded clay fused at a temperature of one thousand two hundred to one thousand three hundred degrees. Reaching such temperatures in rural areas is almost impossible. The amount of energy required to burn out huge holes in the ground is generally difficult to imagine. And it was not customary in those days to carry out such large-scale hoaxes. Nevertheless, the experts concluded that the section of the mound was subjected to powerful, but short-term irradiation with some mysterious energy. Who and how could have performed such actions remains a mystery.

Soon a message was received about the discovery of such wells from the Perm engineer Vitaly Ashmarin. While making a hike along the standard route in the Urals, he and his companions unexpectedly discovered four holes in the ground in a clearing he knew well. The glade was also on the top of the hill. This time there were four wells, and they were located along the tops of a perfect square with a side of ten meters.
The cylindrical holes went into the earth at a certain angle, if you mentally continue their trunks into the sky, then they converged at one point. The soil extracted from the wells was again absent, the walls were again melted. Moreover, a bottle left by previous tourists was melted into the wall of one of them. The temperature required for this exceeds a thousand degrees.
By the sound of the stones thrown, it was established that the wells are empty and have a depth of several tens of meters. Specialists in the study of anomalous phenomena for 1991 planned an expedition to the wells of Ashmarin, but the collapse of the USSR that followed soon did not provide opportunities for these studies.
The reports of the discovered groups of mysterious wells, numbering from three to five holes, began to arrive from all over the world. All of them were found in the hills. The holes were always symmetrical, and there were always no digging marks.
There was even a message from Mexico. There, located at the tops of an equilateral triangle, three holes went straight into the stonework of one of the ancient pagan pyramids. The giant stone blocks of such pyramids are not at all ordinary soil, and the temperature required for this was an order of magnitude higher than in the previously listed cases.
Naturally, the researchers tried to explain this strange phenomenon. Most of them believe that this is a manifestation of the activities of the military. Indeed, in those years, the Americans widely advertised their anti-missile military program, which was called the "Star Wars Program" in the press. The main combat element of this program was to be a nuclear-pumped X-ray laser installed in space. It is logical to assume that similar studies were carried out in the USSR.
Some scientists believe that the mysterious wells are the results of testing such weapons. Other scientists recall the programs that have existed in various countries since the Second World War to develop weapons that move in the thickness of the earth. In the USSR, such developments, in particular, included the underground torpedo of the inventor Tsiferov. However, these interpretations do not explain in any way the fact that the holes appear in groups. It seems that it would be more logical to assume a launch from the Earth's surface of a spacecraft equipped with several nozzles ejecting incandescent plasma.
In addition, there are also single wells, corresponding in their characteristics to the wells of Taman, known from time immemorial. One of them, burnt in stone on the coast of the American state of Oregon, called Thor's well. At high tide, it fills with water that disappears into no one knows where at low tide.
Something similar was discovered by the American satellite Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on Mars in 2004. Bottomless holes with a diameter of one hundred to one hundred and fifty meters have a cylindrical shape and go deep into the red planet. They were roughly formed several tens of millions of years ago, but this is also only one of the versions.
