The sudden appearance of a huge smoking hole on the side of a highway in Mexico left onlookers baffled and spawned some fantastic theories for its origin.
The massive chasm, which measures an astounding 26 feet across and 26 feet deep, dwarfed investigators near the city of Torreon as they circled the puzzling pit.
Initial reports on the find indicated that officials could not discern a cause for the crater which led to speculation that it had been caused by something 'out of this world.'
The two primary suggestions were that it was a UFO landing site or, in a testament to what feels like a growing global panic, that the giant divot was from a meteor.
Fortunately, it seems that the mystery may have already been solved. Find out what one local media outlet said was found in the smoking pit at the Coast to Coast AM website.
