The village of Ishkinino (Orenburg region) is located 15 kilometers from Gaya to the west. It was there, not far from the village in 2011, that an anomaly appeared, which still excites the minds. And it consisted in the appearance of … a hole in the ground.
An ordinary area - a steppe all around, a village nearby. The soil collapsed somewhere unknown, a hole 1 meter 70 centimeters in diameter and about 8 meters deep was formed. You can imagine how much soil you need to choose to get such an impressive depression.
But after all, the soil simply fell through who knows where! Many curious people came to the hole, peered into the depth with interest, tormented by the question: why did this happen? And no intelligible assumptions arose. What kind of emptiness was in the ground, which completely absorbed such an amount of soil, or maybe someone took it with an unknown device? There were also rumors about UFOs.
The hole was right next to the road. Someone from the local fenced it off with dry branches, and then began to cover it with earth, because it was unsafe off-road, especially in the snow. Last year they dug a hole, but they continue to talk and speculate about it.
One of the residents of Gai turned to ufologists, they asked to examine the hole, go down and take soil samples. Nobody dared to do this, because the unknown was frightening: suddenly the pit would “come to life”, close the edges, and destroy the person. We fell asleep. But still the question is: "What was that?" The photo of the hole in the steppe was provided by the oldest geologist Gaya Givi Saribegovich Khubaev.
