[–] valuearb 9y ago ↗ Cool image. Im guessing some more alien conspiracy theories will arise from it. [–] cr0sh 9y ago ↗ Alien deep pit mining...?
[–] Black-Plaid 9y ago ↗ This looks like it has to be a collapse of some void below.There's no ejecta around the crater, or any of the other impact signs.
[–] RikNieu 9y ago ↗ I'm no expert, but that looks like a gas pocket of some sort ruptured, created a cavity and collapsed in on itself. Kind like those methane craters in Siberia.
