'We've ruled out Satan': Mysterious hole in the ground shooting out 12-foot-high flames for 40 minutes in Arkansas leaves officials stumped
___________________________________________________________
On September 17 a hole in the ground shot out 12-foot flames for 40 minutes
The blaze broke out on a private property in Midway, Arkansas at 4.30am
Weeks later, officials are still clueless as to what caused the inferno
Officials have ruled out meteorites, a gas leak and Satan as potential causes
Soil samples from the area are yet to be tested and could reveal the cause
Geologists determined that the hole was made by animals but have no idea how flames would have started shooting out
Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass believed someone ignited the fire on purpose using a clean fuel
Arkansas authorities are scratching their heads to figure out how a small hole in the ground spewed out 12-foot flames last month.
The bizarre hole, located on a private property in Midway, Arkansas, released a fiery display on the morning of September 17, yet officials are clueless as to how the hole opened up.
On that fateful day the hole released a spectacle of furious flames for about 40 minutes, shocking bystanders. Then it suddenly stopped.
Baxter County Judge Mickey Pendergrass joked that he's ruled out Satan as a possible explanation for the fire - as well as meteorites or a gas leak.
'As far as the spiritual Satan goes, we've ruled that out. He didn't come up and stick his pitchfork in the ground and blow that hole out,' he said to the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.

Clinton man cave

That white stuff looks like the deposits around my pilot lights.
Probably where Hillary buried her e mails
Satan is in the Senate.
No sulfur smell..................
many decades ago there was a hole in the ground that sucked a 100 ft garden hose down to who-knows-where, When the hose disappeared, the story disappeared ... we’ll never know ...
John McCain trying to get his Senate seat back to vote against Kavanaugh.
POTD! LOL!
I live in Florida where sinkholes are very common.
At our last house we lived in before the one now, there was an old clothesline in the yard that hadn’t been used in decades.
I dismantled it with just one pipe left sticking up out of the ground.
I went out to dig it out, thinking it had been put in with cement at the base and hit it with my shovel.
It disappeared into the ground and I NEVER SAW IT AGAIN...............
Arkansas? Prolly an illegal still.
Florida?...........................
It was so spectacular that in 40 minutes of burning no one recorded it on video?
I live in an area with a lot of shale - and natural gas. There are pockets everywhere, and its a big gas production area.
There’s a stream bed near me that leaks natural gas from the earth (there are no wells or pipelines nearby) - if you have a lighter, you can set it on fire.
Its not that uncommon.
Hillary’s birthplace-marked with an eternal flame. AKA the portal to Hell.
Mother Earth farted?
People in the Midwest that own hundreds of acres, sometimes have their own landfill since there’s no codes against it. Dig a big hole and throw your trash in their for 40 years and then cover it up and start a new one somewhere.
Could be methane gas from grandpa’s landfill.
Also, you’d be surprised how many people don’t have a proper septic system. Some people just run a pipe down into the woods.
“Because Hillary isnt in Arkansas right now.”
You nailed it.
