SCIENTISTS PUZZLED BY STRANGE ROW OF HOLES ON OCEAN FLOOR

WHAT IN THE WORLD?

Over the weekend, a team of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ocean explorers came across something seriously unsettling lining the Mid-Atlantic ocean floor: a series of holes dug into the sandy seabed at seemingly regular intervals, as seen in footage taken by the NOAA's remotely operated submarine.

"These holes have been previously reported from the region, but their origin remains a mystery," reads a Facebook post by the team. "While they look almost human made, the little piles of sediment around the holes make them seem like they were excavated by... something."

The bizarre holes were bored about 1.7 miles beneath the surface, right at the crest of an underwater volcano near the Azores.

Clues as to what may have created the holes are scarce. The surrounding ocean floor was comparatively smooth. Besides, the depth at which the marks were made suggests that human involvement is incredibly unlikely.
