Crop circles or crop ellipses?

[StanFoster]

I land on my lot next to my home frequently. My turbine exhaust tends to "mark my spot" so to speak. The exhaust elbow has been adjusted upward and I even put a small blast shield to keep my frame cool. The exhaust won't start a fire but it just heats the grass enough to temporarily stunt it. The grass always greens right back up as it only gets enough heat to cook it over a few days. Except in this case, its becoming more permanent as I use the scorched grass as my helipad marking. I plan on cooking this spot again in a few hours.

no plans for a heli-pad?

Here are some pictures of my lot next to my home. You can see my one burnt landing spot that I park on.

I cant build straight stairways and I cant mow straight either!

Tell your Grass Dr. that you need a cure for "Fairy Ring", honestly that is what it look like if I didn't know you parked a Helo on it!

I have a strange ring of dead grass next to my mothers house. It is actually an empty lot between the 2 homes and I noticed it a few weeks ago. There has never been a pool or any trampoline on it to cause this . Kind of scratching my head about the whole thing. Took a photo of it from about 700'.

Stan,

While anything is a possibility, The whole block is on sewers. Those not on sewers have a mound or in the ground type system that uses long pipes spaced 10 ' or so apart. The lot has never had any development on it, but who knows. Will take a shovel to see what might be up with it. The ground water is too high for it to be a tank type system, unless it was a tank for the brick home ages ago but that is unlikely due to the ownership going back 40-50 years...... Some of those homes were summer type homes but those older ones were on the waterfront, where that kind of thing could be more likely possibility.

I'm sure it's a perfectly good explanation that a UFO mothers ship exhaust pipe would be the cause of the larger crop circles as well.

There is also a second half moon kind of ring to the left and below the large pine tree as well. Noticed it after i studied the photo.

Could be anything. UFO, beam weapon, septic tank from years ago but moms house was built in 2005 or natural phenomena .
