Default Mystery holes.

I think you might have something there Frank!
I know 28 years ago as a student pilot, I might have "dented" the
runway a few times with my landings!

Happy New Year .... Terry N6401F

I suspect the holes are abandoned oil wells from long ago. Nothing
left but the damage from bringing up the "substrate" to the surface.
Limestone, oil soaked earth etc that no plant can grow in or at least
is favorable to the local vegetation.

That whole area around Galveston is riddled with those holes. I
understand years ago that area had hundreds of oil wells in a few
block area.

Thats my guess!

I disagree. I suspect that the "pilot" at the controls of the UFO
that did this was a student and was practicing "touch and go's". :-)
