We examine ``magnetic hole" regions in the solar wind where the magnetic field has decreased to very low levels over a time varying from minutes to hours. The structure of the regions is made clearer using multispacecraft observations seen with new 3-D visualization methods. We also present 3-D MHD simulations of regions in and near the heliospheric current sheet that suggest that at least some of the magnetic holes are associated with a previously unsuspected type of field configuration in which a near-null line forms in the center of spiraling magnetic fields. The fields do not undergo dynamical reconnection in the wind, at least at this level of simulation, but rather are convected out from as yet poorly understood field configurations near the Sun.
