Nope, impossible... That stretch of railroad was completed in 1906 and runs over the "trench"... Also the rock walls inside the hole are fossilized, they've been exposed forever. This is a prehistoric meteor strike that was recently excavated. Another thing is that historical aerial imagery shows this hole and tail but no concrete plant in 1965.

@david-evans22 you literally have other people in the comments who live near Sloan telling you what it was. And you're convinced a meteor did this?😂 meteors don't roll on the ground... and zig left and right... they smash and splatter... There wasn't a well near Sloane, there was a well up near the mine, they ran a big pipe down to the town, they built a well in town, they took the pipe away....
The old building was a water reservoir and the cut was for the pope to Sloan Limestone Quarry to the south and looks like around 1970-80.

Not a crash site, that isn't how impact ejecta lays out, shallow impacts of this angle would just reflect off hard surfaces. The piles on the sides indicate it was dug out. The line is very straight at the start, but it does curve in smooth long curves as if made for a railway line which ends at ' Southern Nevada Paving '. edit: Followed a line I found going east from that point, it is no longer followable once it hits ' W Cactus Ave ' almost 4miles away. Looks very much like a dig out for an old small railway. On google Earth older images the line continues to an intersection of ' Blue Diamond Hwy ' and ' Hualapaui Way '

It was a water pumping station and pipeline for the concrete plant in Sloan that was shut down (and all the metal scrapped) when a new pump well built on factory grounds made this distant one redundant at some point in the 60s.
I agree with the water storage facility. The dirt/gravel looks like it was dug by hand. Thank you for sharing. The road sure got nuts. Stay safe out there everyone 😊
Remains of Warehouse 13 after the TV show was terminated.
I have seen similar abandoned water systems made for railroads back when locomotives were steam powered. The ditch may be the pipeline trench to/from the railroad siding at Sloan where there was a well that produced low quantities of water.
That is where Superman's capsule came to rest
Wouldn’t be a meteor, it wouldn’t dig out that path and put a pile on one side, it would hit and be short dig, if skimming the top it wouldn’t dig it would make a dent and fly out further away from the trajectory speed. Look almost like a tractor was moving backward digging a trench placing soil on the side as it went
That was a fun one! I love a mystery!
I agree with the old rail line. I believe it may have served the Blue Diamond Gypsum Mine before it was rerouted.
VERY VERY STRANGE,,GOOD FIND,THANK YOU
@15:10 The first thing that popped into my head when I saw that cactus or whatever type of desert plant that is was, ohh look it's the Statue of Liberty...lol
You will find a water tank and a stream bed created by water overflowing the tank & flowing downhill. Probably from an old mine. If you dug out the bottom of the tank you would find an inlet & outlet.
It looks like a gold mine to me 👍💚💛❤️
Don't feel stupid, that's what it looked like on google earth, and it is odd, and i think you're right, it could've been a meteor ❤❤❤🙂👍🦘🇦🇺🦘.
Glad you put safty measures in place.

Thoroughly enjoyed, take care too buddy.
People are saying it's a water flow but the hole is undercut into rock and just ends at a rock face 5:43 There are no tooling marks from man, it's too clean for TNT and water isn't doing that. I would say a prehistoric meteor strike.

Yo, how the actual meteor, if it was one, has skimmed the ground and as the guys said, turned, curved and moved across the landscape.. it kinda doesn’t make any sense. Sure a water line would make sense, if the age of erosion wasn’t apart and clearly visible, how it is here. It’s so odd, I’ve got no clue, other than the examples given.. maybe some geological movement or instability, release of pressure; now the water flow idea could just be the one on the nose. Just it’s all kinda abrupt, oddly placed and old; like is it older than 20 years, yeah; 40, yeah. 60? Hmmm, it’s a head scratcher because things kinda stick out, and other things don’t, such as the entire structure, suddenly stopping, also the ejecta is spread about the place like it could’ve been put there or shifted n lifted rather quickly, more instantaneously.. If the guy could source down local government plans or company’s that existed in that area, to background check, that would be interesting and helpful. It would be even more beneficial, if there’s some local news paper, that may talk about some sorta action that was happening or take out, by that way. I do believe that with this is.. it’ll be terrestrial but, could be E.T.

It's an Aventon Ramblas
It appears to be a grade that falls away from the square structure and since the tail is not straight then erosion has caused the linear scar.
Meteors travel at very high speed, when they contact the ground they explode instantly, they don't carve trenches. The contact explosions are all circular craters.
Looks like a water storage system and a drain. Some of the rocks look like they were stacked. If it was a crash. Look for evidence of burning, charing melted rock, and / or glass.
Can I ask what kind of bike you’re using?
It almost looks like an old plumbing trench. And that building may have been used to store water so if it points towards anything significant like an old foundation then that’s what I would guess. But meteor sounds cool, I’d be metal detecting or have a strong magnet on stick

It's old construction site for water storage. Those piles on the side where their gaps is where the escobar or the digging team left the left over dirt after digging
It is some kind of very old man made structure. You can see the stacked block that thing is huge. This is the true old world

I'm thinking the building may have actually been a water storage tank and the trench was where they were going to run the pipe out of the tank. Did you see if there was a hole in the side of the structure that the trench was on?
The wood post with the rocks around its base: that is a mining claim.

Makes me the think of Einsteins thought experiment of riding a beam, well done, I feel like I have rode in on the object ❤
It looks like a large trencher that had conveyor belts dumping the diggings on both sides of the trench. I base this on seeing like a flat bottom.
That was a really cool video! I read in your comments that you should scan the area with a metal detector. That is a really good idea and might help solve the mystery because meteors are made up of iron. I have a few metal detectors if you want to check it out.

Geologist will know what this is. You need one of them those guys
Fascinating. I hope someone can confirm what it is. Let us know please. Thank you William.☮️💖🎶
Something crashed there then cartwheeled out of the slot and was embedded into the ground. Then the authorities built that structure around to to conceal it and study it. Once done studying it they removed the roof to lift it out to transport it elsewhere.
WW2 or post war construction probably a backhoe trench for a water pipeline headed for sloan. Maybe you should take some geology/hydrology courses @ UNLV check out the new preserve area north of Vegas some very cool landforms, fossils & remains of Las Vegas valley when it was a huge pleistoscene lake
So were was tail of the ditch . They were using gravity to fill the tank as you pointed out the ditch was deeper by the tank . That might of held a water pipe that’s why the tank is so deep .
It looks like rain catchment to me it’s in a low place and looks like rain could be captured from a large area. It had a roof to slow evaporation. The cans that looked like paint buckets could have been lard cans.
Superman has arrived look for the Kent’s house some where near by. 😂😂😂
The dirt is very clearly piled up in heaps and not swept to the sides like in crash site.

Do you have a Metal Detector to determine if there are metal fragments from a potential Meteor Hit? Keep up with the great explorations!
If you had to choose one electric bike for exploring. Which one would you choose?
It’s all man made for water …
Is that an arroyo? Mountains on both sides, rain would run off to lowest point. That looks like lowest point.. arroyo noun a steep-sided gully formed by the action of fast-flowing water in an arid or semi-arid region, found chiefly in the southwestern US.
I have a big trek ahead of my on my electric bicycle.. Ancestors shaking they're heads, lol.
I think its a thing that was for doing stuff. Its important as you can tell, by the way it is.
Rough terrain to ride a bike on! Those kinds of things are always a conundrum!
Clearly isn't crash markings. Part of it is probably water drainage from that building. The rest is probably a boundary line/fence between properties. Interesting, but nothing substantial.
Dude a meteor that size would blast a 1000m wide crater. if it skimmed in and slowed to a ballistic fall it would burn up mostly

I would think were it stopped would of had an even bigger berm of dirt at the top soil and if it dug under the ground it would of had a mound/hill at its end.
Interesting.

This was possibly man-made, meteors do not make long bending tails in the ground. Even if it was a meteor then you would have found the hole having molten qualities as it would have been a few thousand degrees as it came into the atmosphere and crashed there. You would also be able to find some glass formed by the extreme temperatures from the meteor. After using Google Earth to look through historical imagery, that hole most likely was made around the time of the construction of that building possibly from the late 70s to mid 80s or possibly even earlier as the earliest image is June 1977 in this area. Judging by the number of mining claims in the surrounding areas, that area would have had a lot of traffic.
man, what an excellent investigation for a 70 year-old 'boy adventurer' such as myself!! f- blaine in North Texas

You must have some Really Good Yarndi in LasVegas.
Looks like they dug it up
Its not a crash site. The trench zigzags across the desert. Not straight like crash site would be. That is a dug trench.
If you look at it on google maps the same "tail" goes farther northwest. Its obvious it was pipeline or railway for mining not space trash!
Dude, it's just a collapse or open stope of a mine. The structure was probably a mill at some time. A meteor would have left an oval shape crater if it struck at an angel.

It seems you assumed the mysterious when it's actually something quite ordinary.
Definitely a elevator trench. Nothing falling from space.
We have so many quakes in Nevada. More than meteors.
looks like a pipe line reclamation that was not cleaned up
The crevasse does not look man-made even if it was 60 to 100 years old they would not have been this much weathering so what you're looking at is a natural formation the warehouse though is a submerged Warehouse more than likely for a bunch of water tanks to hold water and keep it cold as many others in the comment section have alluded to. They may have used the natural formation of the crevasse to place the pipes in and then set up a pump near town from the storehouse.
