One day, a perfectly normal pasture. The next: a massive hole in the earth 60 metres across and 27 metres deep.

Not the sort of thing landowner Kansas landowner Dalton Hoss expected to find on his property last week.

"My brother found it, and he called me up, and his voice was quaking anfd he said 'you'll never believe what I just seen,'" Hoss told KWCH-TV.

As you can see, it's become quite the draw for nearby neighbour, but the local sheriff, Larry Townsend, is warning people to watch themselves around the giant hole.

No word yet on what caused the sinkhole to open up.
