World's 'biggest sinkhole' baffles scientists sparking rumour of crashed UFO site

The opening mysteriously appeared in Yamalm northern Siberia, a place already named by locals as 'the end of the world'

A mysterious gigantic sinkhole has appeared in Russia - and nobody knows where it came from or how deep it is.

It opened up in the peninsula of Yamal, a place which locals call the 'end of the world'.

At 80 metres wide, the sinkhole is believed to be the biggest ever spotted in the country and could be one of the deepest ever recorded in the world.

Speculation of what has caused the phenomenon include rumours of a crashed UFO, a meteorite hitting the earth, global warming or a sinkhole caused by collapsing rock.
