Strange hole in desert

I don't know much about this. In the vid everything the locals throw into the hole is spat out high into the air.

Lets try this one

Possibly something man made, maybe a movie prop?

Maybe the MSM will pick this up and pay a visit.

That is some serious pressure firing out those objects, I thought maybe natural gas but if that amount of gas was escaping the thing would explode.

Graboid.
Definitely a graboid.

That would be a sand geyser, if I am not mistaken.

A Sand Geyser or Sand Fountain is a geologic phenomena which occurs in association with earthquakes and other seismic events. In the geologic record, these are seen as clastic dikes

Didn't the same thing occur in 2006, in Saudi Arabia?

Is that the kingdom of Suds? Then thats probably a natural gas well, it leaks but builds pressure when covering it up. Then, poof…

No smoking guys…

From the pipes in the video, looks like an oil well dig and they've ruptured a gas pocket!

Seems like this is what it is, good shout.

Now to tell live leak so they can inform the locals.

I'm just starting to get the hang of it.

I suppose it could be a gas line as well, as draco said, but I like the idea of it being a natural phenomenon.

Yes, it certainly appears to be the case, well done.

This beautiful video shows we are all 1.
Everybody has rednecks.
What's "Hey watch this !" in Arabic ?

The force is not continuous as you would expect if it was gas escaping note the objects and sand is dumped into the hole and it is then forced out after a short pause.

Playful graboid.

It's the very rare sand whale

It's just a plain old gopher. He is a little bigger than normal though. Maybe they did some nuclear testing there during the coldwar.

That surprised a laugh out of me. Thanks for that.
