New details of the appearance of an anomalous well in the Svetloyarsk district of the Volgograd region, three kilometers from the Prudovy village, are being clarified.
The site of the strange failure, from which about ten dump trucks of the earth disappeared without a trace, have already been visited: employees of the Rosselkhoznadzor, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Committee of Natural Resources and Ecology of the Volgograd Region and members of the regional public environmental council under the Volgograd Regional Duma. But no one can yet figure out the origin of the huge 11-meter crater.
"Until we harvest the harvest, do not call anyone"
The Rosselkhoznadzor has already called the failure non-anthropogenic, that is, it appeared without any human participation: no traces of wheels, no traces of mechanical excavation of earth or drilling a well were found on the spot.
“It turns out that the hole was formed on the farmer’s field back in April, when he sowed wheat,” says Irina Glinyanova, director of the Regional Center for Civil Environmental Initiatives, an independent non-profit organization, Regional Center for Civil Environmental Initiatives, who visited the site of the failure at the invitation of the head of the Narimanov rural settlement of the Svetloyarsk region, Nikolai Dubrava. -

Then farmer Vladimir Banko almost fell into this hole with his agricultural machinery. The failure, according to him and according to eyewitnesses from among the local employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the village administration, residents of the village, was then with perfectly flat walls, only about a meter in diameter and up to 20 meters deep.
The depth was measured with a rope. But the farmer decided: “If we call journalists and specialists now, they will trample all the wheat for me”. And the EMERCOM employee was also silent for the time being: he gave the farmer time to harvest wheat. Therefore, this pit became known only now.

And since a lot of time had passed, the edges of the pit began to collapse under the influence of rains and natural soil erosion. Now the hole is only 11 meters deep, and the diameter of the hole, on the contrary, has grown to almost four meters.
Residents of the village who visited the edge of the mysterious "black hole" after a while felt bad
At first, as the head of the department for civil defense and emergency situations, environmental protection and ecology of the Svetloyarsk district administration Alexei Vekshin told the Volgograd residents who arrived at the site of the anomaly, he himself and representatives of the administration of the Narimanov rural settlement, he himself and representatives of the administration of the Narimanov rural settlement, residents of the village who visited the edge After a while, the mysterious "black hole" felt bad: absolutely everyone started having pressure surges, nausea, and the urge to vomit.
Now such a strong effect is no longer observed. But nevertheless, those who risk approaching the pit too close and looking inside also have dizziness and nausea. And the pit itself initially looked as if someone had sucked out a perfectly even cylinder of soil 20 meters deep with a giant syringe. As a result, the pit was fenced off like a crime scene and decided to bypass it for now.
How did this failure come about? Why do people at the edge of the pit feel bad? There are several versions
UFO taking soil samples?
The most suggestive and calming version has already been announced by the Committee for Natural Resources and Ecology of the Volgograd Region: "This is a karst hole." Yuri Polosukhin, an expert on radiation safety of the Committee for Natural Resources and Ecology of the Volgograd Region, who visited the site, measured the background radiation and announced that the radiation was normal. The background radiation is from 9-15 microroentgens per hour.
However, according to the same EMERCOM employee Aleksey Vekshin, this territory, according to the geological map, is not an area where karst sinkholes are possible. The groundwater is far away. And the soil is not at all like that.
“It is also alarming that initially the pit was ideally cylindrical, which is not typical for karst sinkholes,” says Irina Glinyanova, director of the Legal Services Regional Center for Civil Environmental Initiatives, ANO.
- We found out that in the 90s drilling was carried out in this area: pits were working, looking for oil and gas. Perhaps, due to long-term man-made interference, voids have formed. I think geophysicists and ufologists should still work at this place. I would not rule out the version of a UFO taking soil samples for some of its research.
I have already observed such perfectly flat notches, however, with a diameter of no more than 25 centimeters, near the anomalous zone of the Medveditskaya ridge, which is considered a "cosmodrome for UFOs."
Vladimir Polosukhin, Chairman of the Board of the Russian Ecological Expertise, walked around the “black hole” with frames and discovered that the anomalous well was a geopathogenic zone 20 meters in diameter. Because of which, the deterioration of the health of the inhabitants of this settlement after a long stay at the abnormal well becomes explainable. Polosukhin even tried to get into the pit and continue research there, but due to the danger of a collapse of the ground, he was not allowed.
Meanwhile, similar symptoms (pressure surges, nausea, vomiting, severe headache), observed in those who stood on the edge of the dip, are also typical for poisoning with some gases. For example, a Turkish landmark - the "Gates of Hell" cave, near the famous Pamukale, for many centuries was covered with legends and fears: people entered the cave and never left.
Then their corpses were found there. Some people with signs of severe poisoning fled from the entrance of the "Gates of Hell". Locals have long believed that the evil spirits of the underworld dwell in the cave. And only in our time have scientists found out: in this cave there is a release of gases from the bowels of the earth.
Perhaps the Svetloyarsk anomaly also formed on the site of the "gas bubble"? Strange sinkholes in the ground, which cannot be explained by the fall of a meteorite (there is no melted earth and a crater from the fall), of course, were observed earlier in different parts of the world. The largest of these "black holes" was formed in July last year on the Yamal Peninsula in Western Siberia.
The funnel was so large that it could fit several helicopters at once. Scientists have not yet given an unambiguous answer to the question of how this funnel was formed.
But if in Yamal the main version remains: the melting of permafrost as a result of global warming, then how could such a pit appear in the Volgograd region, where there was no permafrost?
