No human had ever fallen. And the crazy part about it is, animals were, like, terrified of this hole as to say, like, I ain't going nowhere near this thing. Birds, even as birds were flying over, they would circle around the hole, so birds wouldn't even fly over it. So he called into Art Bell's radio show and he told them this whole story. And then the next day, when he gets back to his property, the FBI, men in black, all of these people are on his property, and they tell him, you cannot come back in here. Like, we have it all fenced off. You can't come in. So what ends up happening is they give him $3 million a year for three years in order to leave the country. Don't come back on your property, anything like that. But after the three years he's missing his family, he wants to come back. So he comes and he's in San Francisco. But then when it gets extra weird is, I believe they're called Basques. And they're individuals that are from, like, Spain or some area over in Europe, but they have a piece of public land in Nevada. And they reach out to Mel and say, hey, we would like you to come look at our land, because we know that you owned a piece of property that had this mysterious hole on it. And we have the same kind of hole on our property, and we'd like to get your thoughts on this. So he goes to research this hole. So the first thing that they did is they get a cage and they lower a sheep 5,000ft feet. And within, like, seconds of it getting to 5,000ft, they stop feeling any motion, but there's a buzz that they feel on the cable that's holding the sheep. So they bring it back up 30 minutes later, and the sheep is dead. And then they take it to do an autopsy on it, and they realize that the sheep has just been engulfed with this gnarly tumor that they can't explain. So then after he has this experience, he calls Art Bell and he says, hey, I want to tell you this most recent update. And he says, I have pictures of everything. I have pictures of the holes, I have testimonies from people. I've recorded everything. And the day that he was supposed to call Art Bell, he just completely vanished from the face of the earth. No one ever heard from him again. The phone number ended up getting disconnected like a week later. And if you look him up at the time, people were able to find records of Mel walk. And now if you were to try to find this guy, there's no record of them ever existing. So they believe that this hole that Mel had stumbled upon was actually a portal to another dimension, that it could be something where UFOs were using it for intergalactic travel. It could be a rip in the time space continuum where it's like a wormhole to another parallel universe, but it's never been been explained. And the thing that kind of got me was now if you look up that property on Google Maps, you can see the two structures that he talked about. And there is a nine foot hole, but now it has water in it. And evidently it's just a well. There's no presence of military or anything like that. But there could be these holes all over the planet. And they could be because we've talked about how in like New York especially, there's buildings that just aren't even buildings, they're just ways to hide oil mines and things like that. Like, who knows what there could be out there that's being covered up. That could be a portal to a whole nother level of understanding the universe and what we're in. And one of the speculations was this might lead into an alternate universe or existence. And the joke was if it does, there's just like all these appliances and trash and out of nowhere to this stuff disappears into this, you know, existence. It just always seems to be that somebody comes forward with this bit of information that seems revolutionary as far as thought in our understanding, and then they just always end up disappearing. But I thought it was. I thought it was an interesting story worth sharing, especially because it's spooky. Ooh, Happy Halloween.
