MYSTERIOUS BURN HOLES ACROSS UK BAFFLE SCIENTISTS

SCIENTISTS PERPLEXED APPEAR, LEAVING AN AS WEIRD BURN HOLES ODD SHAPE BEHIND

-

Bizarre burn holes with an unusual shape are appearing randomly across the UK.

The baffling phenomenon is sending scientists into a spin, firing up intense debate over what is causing the peculiar events.

While it may look like a scene from armageddon, authoritie­s say there’s no need for alarm.

“While we are yet to have any conclusive answers on the holes – they won’t harm. Meteorites, abnormally hot air and global warming are among the possible causes,” explains scientist Joe Bloggs.

“There’s also been a large number of fireflies attracted by our unusually good weather, which hasn’t been ruled out.

“The only real known variables at this stage are that all holes resemble a nugget shape and those in close proximity begin to water at the mouth uncontroll­ably,” Bloggs adds.

Meteorolog­ists are closely monitoring the weather forecast, saying that rising temperatur­es might be linked to the strange sights.

“We are forecastin­g record-breaking temperatur­es of up to 47 degrees at the start of August. We feel there is a direct link between the flaming craters and the predicted heatwave,” meteorolog­ist Joanna Doe explains.

In total, there have been 27 sightings recorded. The flaming holes have been spotted in cities right across the country, including London, Cardiff, Lancashire, York – and can even be seen in today’s newspaper.

Authoritie­s predict there could be an increase in activity from the 7th of August, coincident­ally aligning with the launch of McDonald’s new Spicy Chicken McNuggets®.

Regardless of the cause, chances are, things are gonna get even more spicy….
