OUTBACK MARTIAN RINGS RIDDLE
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
MELBOURNE: Researchers have found weird, unexplained markings in Australia which bear an uncanny likeness to unidentified patterns on Mars.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They are some 400 mysterious rings on 60 square kilometres of Mallee land in north-west Victoria.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The UFO Research Society plans to carry out tests on the "ring phenomenon".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Society researcher John Auchettl said most of the rings were spotted on the ground although some formed three-dimensional patterns in the air.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He said they were found by chance while checking 12 sites where wheat had been flattened in a circular pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Wheat rings" are areas where wheat is bent but not damaged and where the magnetic characteristics of the soil are altered and the ground compressed to the hardness of a brick, Mr. Auchettl said.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A special camera which took layered pictures from the ground surface to 600 metres found sets of layers of ring.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
He said the society found 79 rings in a one square kilometre paddock, some as big as 35 metres in diameter.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And the society drew an eerie parallel with markings spotted on Mars.
