More mysterious craters found in Russia's remote Siberia region

The Siberian Times, an English-language newspaper, published pictures of two new giant holes discovered by reindeer herders, one located in the Yamal and the other in the Taymyr peninsula, both above the Arctic circle.

The paper said that theories of their origin range from meteorites or stray missiles to aliens or an underground gas explosion. The report could not be confirmed independently.

Russian state TV reported earlier this month that a giant hole had appeared in the gas-rich Yamal peninsula where temperatures plummet below -50 degrees Celsius (-58 degrees Fahrenheit) and the sun barely rises in winter.

Are there any gas mining facilities nearby? That would make sense if they were depleted gas pockets that collapsed in on themselves due to the Russians not bothering to figure out what would happen/care that it did.

Come on, man, let it be aliens just this once, if anything so humanity as a whole has something else to focus on rather than our own whacked-out bullcuss.
