Mysterious Field Circle Discovered Near Brinkhill, Lincolnshire, UK - 2009
Brinkhill's UFO spotter Eric Goring, 68, said: "I came across this little crop circle the morning after watching [some unidentified] lights in the sky. I have never seen this before on that hill and I know it very well. I have measured it and it's just over sixteen foot across.
"There are no burn marks on the grass but I think it was an impression made when one of these lights came down or one of the spaceships blasted out some energy from underneath it."
We spoke to the UK's leading UFO expert Nick Pope who said: "Oddly enough, there may be a horticultural explanation for the circular impression in the field, which may be a so-called fairy ring - a circular pattern caused by certain types of fungi. (Based on an article in Louth Leader).
Now, to us here at BEAMS, Eric Goring's discovery doesn't look like a 'fairy ring' at all, as this marking has noticeable depth to it; whereas usually, only the surface vegitation is affected in 'rings' that are fungal related.
