Googled overhead view of James Knob area from 2003. What are those strange markings in the pasture?

Photo of additional Strange markings from 1991. Cropcircle expert Colin Andrews found them very interesting.

A time lapse exposure of a flashing UFO in the James Knob area... I understand big negatives are part of this record.





Intriguing blog! I'm inclined to think the horseshoe-shaped field impressions might be made by a tractor implement whose business part extends well past its wheel base, leaving gouges as it u-turns atop a slope. But the deeper mystery of the Flatwoods Monster invites no such earthly explanation. I do not believe it was a 10-foot-tall barn owl.
ReplyDelete12 foot! Hiya Geo! Soil testing precludes farm implements where water was sucked out of soil describing the arc to the point where the plants whithered and died.
ReplyDeleteThese are fungal "fairy rings" likely living off the relict decaying root systems of trees removed for pasture. They are quite common in Appalachia and often persist for decades after the removal of a tree, becoming most evident after a rain or the morning dew. They're not crop circles.
