A meter-deep hole on a northern Arkansas lawn was recently spotted spewing flames for nearly 40 minutes, and officials are struggling to come up with sensible answers to what the hole is and whence the flames came.

Is the unsuspecting hamlet of Midway, Arkansas, the place selected for aliens to touch down, or for the gates of Hell to be thrown wide open? Maybe it's a testing ground for some new super-high-tech energy weapon crafted by the US military?

So then what caused flames to shoot 12 feet into the air from this volleyball-sized hole for 40 minutes on September 17?

Jim Sierzchula, Baxter County's emergency management director, worked with geologists from the Arkansas Geological Survey to scope the hole and turn up some better answers.
