Mel described the second hole as being 9 feet in diameter, the same dimensions as the first hole. According to Mel, the land nearby is used by Native Americans as well as "members of the Basque community" who were using the land for grazing sheep. This second hole is alleged to be on public land in Nevada, under the management of the Federal Bureau of Land Management. According to Mel, a dead hunting dog thrown into the hole by a local was seen much later running through the woods, as if hunting with somebody else.Īfter his appearance on Coast to Coast in 2000, Mel claimed on a subsequent appearance that he had found a second hole. He also claimed that it had numerous supernatural powers. On his appearances on Coast to Coast, Mel Waters described the hole as being roughly nine feet across and at least 80,000 feet deep. Mel alleges that his assets were frozen for unstated reasons and that his wombat rescue facility in Australia was dismantled. Mel claims that he later returned to the hole, at which time he was served with papers indicating that his ownership was now in question, due to modifications that had been made, presumably by the government tenants. An alleged IV scar on his arm convinced him that he had been drugged. He claims he had been physically beaten and his rear molars were extracted. According to Mel, the next thing he recalls is walking around San Francisco, twelve days later. While on a bus to Olympia, Washington, Mel claims he witnessed an altercation between police officers and another passenger, after which he was taken off the bus to sign a police statement. In December 1999, Mel returned to the US. These alleged payments are said to have continued from March 1997 through the beginning of 2000. He says that the government then offered to pay him a large monthly stipend to lease the land in perpetuity, which he used to move to Australia and fund a wombat-rescue operation. Soon after the broadcasts, Mel claims that men he identified as government agents told him that there was a plane-crash nearby and that he could not approach the hole.

Mel claims he began a series of experiments with the hole on his property, including one where he lowered a roll of Life Savers into the hole, to detect if any water was at the bottom of the hole, at the end of progressively longer lengths of fishing line, up to the 80,000 foot (over fifteen miles) length of the last attempt.Īt that point, in 1997, Mel sent a Fax to the Coast to Coast AM show describing the hole, and shortly thereafter appeared on the show. When garbage was dumped in the hole, no sound of the object hitting the bottom was heard.

Mel asserts that, for years, locals had known about the "bottomless" nature of the hole, dumping garbage down the hole, including dead cattle, truckloads of old auto tires, and large appliances like refrigerators and TV tubes. What do you guys think of this? Sounds interesting - what could be down there?
