There's also some better pictures in one of the article's sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20160205050218/http://strzyzewsk...
That’s a lot of holes.
It seems obvious to me they were made by the landing pylons of heavy-lift alien spacecraft.

Even more holes than Blackburn, Lancashire.
At 1m diameter and 75cm deep, so ~0.59m^3, I calculate that to fill the Albert Hall, which a search suggests "has been estimated at" ~100,000m^3 (feels low to me, but it's quoted in many places), it takes around 170,000 of these Peruvian holes.

There’s an Albert Hall where I live, it’s probably much smaller than its name sake.
I think we can fill it.

Reminds me of one of my favorite horror stories (NSFW):

Obviously the rescuers should have just used a stick and push them back until they are de-deformed by undergoing the reverse process, on a serious note I think the author should have gone further, one is that it should show a pregnant lady going into one of the holes, just to put that mental image in the readers, and second, it should have a bonus page where we are shown that the bodies melt into the ground once they make it out, and then when they seem like they are dead they make a strange sound until the rescuers conclude that are trying to say "kill me"
That was rather good, thank you!

I think it's either some animal trap (birds nest, small mammal, insect) or some plant growing area or maybe moisture harvesting.
Blackburn, Lancashire best catch up
