There are holes in their knowledge regarding these mysterious ocean-bed perforations — so experts are asking for help.
Scientists have been left flabbergasted over a series of mysterious holes discovered this week at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration posted photos of the underwater formations on Facebook and Twitter, where sea-savvy social media users have postulated that they could be everything from “wormholes” to “aliens.”
“Okay Facebookers, time to get out those scientist hats!” the NOAA declared in a statement regarding the pits, which are located 1.7 miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. This remote region is the world’s longest mountain range, stretching 10,000 miles from the northern to southern points of the body of water.
Accompanying photos show the perplexing holes, which are aligned perfectly on the sediment of the ocean floor.
“On Saturday’s #Okeanos dive, we observed several of these sublinear sets of holes in the sediment,” NOAA described of the Atlantis-esque perforations. “These holes have been previously reported from the region, but their origin remains a mystery.”

Some of this stuff just wreaks of more chaos.
Scare the carp out of people, and soften them up to accept
just about anything for protection.
That was my first thought too - aliens 🙄
Those are Nazi single treaded robot subcrawlers tracks from WW2.
Sea snakes.
Yes, let’s jump to the aliens conclusion at the start.
Did they find any blue meanies?
They’re probably caused by gas jetting from beneath the surface of the ocean floor. There’s a continuation of gas and oil at the bottom of the ocean to supply us forever.
Those are the tracks of wading birds. With really long legs.
Probably some sort of mollusk.
That’s the seam that holds the Earf together.
Just don’t pull that threa...
Probably 9mm bullet holes blowing the earth’s lungs clean out the other side.
Obviously a drain.
So, for when the sea levels rise, these drains can be opened to regulate the change.
Mollusk.
Humm. Pretty regular holes. Legs for a recently removed ASW deep sea MAD (Magnetic abnormality array)?
Or still buried and recently used docking device for the same. Need to blow some of the gravel away and see what they find. Maybe just rectangular bobbit worms, or maybe they found the entry lock to the secret deep sea hide out of now grown up Tom Swift! (Who was a different color when I was growing up.)
I see what you did there.
Cthulu laid his/her/its’ eggs there.
Are mollusks or sea snakes found at 1.7 miles of depth?
I was thinking the depth added some to the mystery.
