Rural Museum Reduced to Slag in Minutes
#1
Local authorities are investigating a catastrophic incident at the Kameny Dar Geological Museum outside Kostroma, where the entire structure and its contents appear to have melted into a molten sinkhole early Wednesday afternoon.

The small field museum, known for its mineral exhibits and school programs, was hosting a student group from Moscow when the event occurred. Officials say twelve students and two teachers were scheduled to arrive that morning, though none have yet been located.

Emergency response teams from Yaroslavl and Kostroma reported that the surrounding forest was scorched in a perfect circle extending 200 meters from the museum site. Soil samples remain too hot for collection nearly 24 hours later.

Quote:“There are no signs of explosives or accelerants,” said Chief Investigator Pavel Grekov. “The stone itself appears to have liquefied from within. We’ve ruled out volcanic activity, as this region is geologically stable.”

Drone footage released by the Ministry of Emergency Situations shows a shimmering crater still emitting heat distortion across its surface. The edges of the melted foundation resemble fused glass, with faint metallic streaks consistent with extreme plasma exposure.

Unconfirmed sources within the regional education office indicate that one student—identified only as a teenage boy who “missed the morning bus”—was not present at the time of the disaster. Authorities have declined to release his name, but classmates describe him as “quiet” and “kept to himself.”
This marks the second unexplained thermal event in less than a month, following the Sokolniki house collapse in Moscow shortly before the New Year. Officials have not linked the two publicly, though both incidents share similar heat signatures and residual electromagnetic interference.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has requested satellite data from the European Weather Network to “determine if atmospheric conditions played a role.”
Social media speculation continues to grow under the tag #Firefall, with users claiming the events coincide with power grid distortions across western Russia.

A government spokesperson again urged calm, calling the situation “under active investigation.”

Quote:“We understand the public’s concern,” said Deputy Minister Melnik. “There is no evidence of ongoing danger. The incidents remain isolated.”

No remains have yet been recovered from the site.
