New Mexico Ufo Landing Marks

ANGELFIRE -- Local ranchers called me in November 2008, a couple of months after mowing down their hayfield. The rancher found some odd circles on which no hay had grown (or had grown and was ruined somehow, leaving the circles). I shot the first four photos in early November 2009 (the ground was wet and had been trampled by cattle). In late May 2009 I shot more photos of the same circles. They are even more pronounced now.

This land has been owned and hay grown/mown for 99+ years by the same folks. The rancher swears these circles appeared sometime last year. They worried him for two months after he noticed them before he finally told his wife, and she finally called me. The ranchers are currently requesting anonymity, but are willing to show them to a MUFON investigator.

Nothing is growing inside the rings, and the outside edges of the rings actually look a little wider now than they did last fall. The circles are in a straight line. The west circle appears smaller than the other two (about 8 feet in diameter). The center and east circles are 10'-12' in diameter. They are approximately 60' and 66' apart. A fourth small circle is 5'-6' in diameter. If a line was drawn connecting the circles, the resulting shape would be triangular. A mutilated animal was found at the top of the low hill about 75 yards away from the circles. Nobody reported any missing horses or cattle in 2008, so the ranchers are guessing the dead animal was an elk. The area DOES have people in it, but is pretty isolated. Thanks to MUFON CMS
