Mysterious Craters Near Kursk Attributed to Meteorites or UFOs

Summary

In 1994, two craters measuring 7 to 8 meters in diameter appeared on a hillside near the Kursk nuclear power plant in Russia. Experts found no signs of explosions, metal fragments, or seismic activity. Radiation levels were within normal background ranges, and soil and water samples showed nothing unusual. While a meteorite was considered a possible cause, a UFO was also mentioned as a plausible explanation. The lack of clear evidence kept the mystery surrounding these craters unsolved.
