'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.

My cousin bought a rural house that he was assured had a septic system. After doing some painting in preparation to moving in he washed the brushes out in the sink. As he was doing so he looked out the window and saw a trail of paint running down the creek behind the house.
