There's a mystery lurking in the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Big Sur, California. An underwater survey has found thousands of small, round divots scooped out of the soft sediment on the seafloor.

While it's not clear how the holes formed, they seem to have quickly become popular among seafloor critters as desirable shelters.

Researchers at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) found roughly 15,000 of these holes, averaging 11 metres (36 feet) in diameter and one metre (3 feet) in depth.

Trash? That's a bummer. Interesting article. I wonder how the other 10,500 trashless holes were created. Looking forward to updates in research.

There's definitely a fish under THIS rock....

Perhaps something coming out of Vandenberg AFB.  They launch on a polar trajectory.  If you rule out aliens, then the next step on the conspiracy theory is a top secret government program.  :smt002
