Discovered about 2,700 meters below the surface, north of the Azores, a series of mysterious “perfectly aligned” holes have exposed scientists who have no rationale for their case.
The holes were found by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) while conducting an exploration of the sea floor around the Mid-Atlantic mountain range using a remotely operated underwater vehicle. Holes (or vents, or tracks?) have been found in sediments near the summit of an underwater volcano north of the Azores archipelago.
Saturdays # Okyanos Diving, we saw several groups of sublinear holes on the sea floor. Scientists have puzzled the origin of the holes. The holes look man-made, but the small piles of sediment around them indicate that they were excavated by…something.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), through a post on the social network “Twitter”, admitted that holes have already been reported in the area but “their source remains a mystery”. “While they look like man-made, the little piles of sediment around the holes make it look like they’ve been drilled by…something,” the agency, which asked netizens for suggestions on the possible cause, wrote.
