This has got to be one of the strangest things I have ever seenHosted by imgur.com It is an actual sand geyser in the Saudi Arabian desert.

Here is a link to the mysterious sand geyser in the desert of Saudi Arabia

I thought I saw almost everything, then I watched this video. My first response was to automatically remember the movie Dunn, and was half expecting to see a huge worm jump out at me as a joke, but this thing is actually real.

First thing in my mind, was didn’t anyone see Dune?

Either that, or it’s Imhotep.

I did think of that movie too, but I really liked the Dune series of books.

Here’s another interesting video, although it’s not as thought provoking as the video you linked, ESPECIALLY the COMMENTS SECTION.

Funny how everyone thinks they ‘know’ what caused it.

Anyway, here’s the video :

Wow, that was pretty impressive. I am surprised only one vehicle was left wrecked.

Just Note, Natural Gas doesn’t smell. We add a chemical to make it smell for safety reasons.

If it is natural gas, it could be odorless.
