MessageToEagle.com - Deep Unexplained Hole Appears Over Night In Austria

MessageToEagle.com- Inhabitants in Neuhofen im Innkreis in Austria are puzzled. A strange, deep, perfectly round hole suddenly appeared over night leading down to a metallic construction 25-foot underground.
The entire area is now filled with reporters, archaeologists, geologists, UFO experts, and of course many curios visitors who want to see what was happened.
The hole was discovered by Farmer Franz Knoglinger, 47 who was out looking for his cat.
"I was looking for our family cat Murlimann when I noticed the hole. I didn't know how deep it was then so I dropped the stone down there, and heard a metallic clunk.
From the time it took for the stone to reach the bottom I realised it was very deep.
I managed to get a big magnet which I dangled down there and it clearly fastened onto something at the bottom - so there is something large and metallic about down there. It also sounds as if there is a hollow space around about whatever the metal object is - it sounds as if there is a room underneath," Franz Knoglinger says.

Knoglinger explains that he needed 25 foot of rope to lower the magnet down and the local plumber who had tried to use a special camera to view the object had failed to get an image.
"There seem to be disturbance on the line - maybe it was some sort of electrical field. Either way the camera didn't bring a good result," Knoglinger continues.

The opening is being examined.
So what could possibly explain the appearance of this odd hole?
The opinions are divided. Archaeologist think the hole could have been left by a wooden timber from an underground burial chamber that had rotted away.
Locals suggest it might have been a bomb as the area had been heavily targeted during the war.
UFO believers have suggested the hole could lead to a buried spacecraft.
The appearance of the deep hole cannot yet be explained, but at least the family cat has appeared again, Se had been sleeping in an airing cupboard at the family farm and the door had been closed, shutting her in.
 
This article claims to have solved the mystery, but the last paragraph then seems to contradict that

But the mystery has finally been solved by a local historian who discovered that 50 years ago a company had drilled a hole in the field while looking for oil - and that the massive drill bit had snapped off at the end leaving a chunk of metal in the ground.

Geologist Dr Harald Wimmer however confirmed the historians research and said: "It was not by the firm RAG while they were looking for oil."

That last line is strange, he confirms the historians research, then seems to contradict him.....

Maybe a translation issue
 
25 foot deep , not wide.
Its always hard to guess depth though, they reckon they used a rope with a weight (magnet) to measure it

They weren't specific in that article so i just assumed they meant wide. I still think a prosaic explanation will be found though.

Yeah that does seem weird doesn't it...I hope there will be follow up to this story, but you know how some things go . Especially if there really is something down there! :cool:
 
This makes me think of those instances where there seem to have been objects found seemingly out of time. A modern watch on the wrist of a buried man from the 1600s - worked metal objects found in coal seems (everything in science tells us that coal was formed over a long period of time and certainly not in the recent human past).
These tales are of the upmost 'high strangeness'. There doesn't seem to be any explanation other than these objects were found in surrounding matter that is old. Well, then the object is as old. Only other explanation is a star-trek type transporter device but as I don't think we have one of those, then I think these objects were fashioned by people in the past 10,000+ years, people who were advanced in ways we do not recognise.
Possibly quite advanced peoples have came on gone in our planets History. We've only been here a blip.
