| (UPDATE) CIRCLE REPORT #3 - BIGGAR, SASKATCHEWAN Additional photos of the Biggar circles have been added to the web site, taken by Susan Lehnert, daughter of the farmer and a new field research assistant with CCCRN, and Brenda Love. The rings have markedly faded since first found, but are still visible. Preliminary Report - June 20, 2001 Biggar, Saskatchewan Early June, 2001 Report received from CCCRN Saskatchewan field research assistant Beata Van Berkom of many unusual circles first found by a local farmer in a pasture field north of the town of Biggar, about 80 kilometers (43 miles) west of Saskatoon, approximately three weeks ago (late May or Early June; specific date still to be confirmed). As many as up to possibly thirty some odd circles and ellipses (in the form of rings), ranging in size from about 4 feet - 34 feet diameter and 1 - 2 feet wide, covering an estimated 250 - 300 square feet. When first found, they were described as being very white in colour, although this had faded somewhat (but still visible) by the time they were reported. Possibly a form of fungus ring or the result of roundup, although Beata and the farmer didn't think so. Sample pictures attached (biggar01.jpg, © Beata Van Berkom, CCCRN). Initial pictures a bit blurry due to wet weather at the time of the initial ground investigation. Additional pics to be added to the web site soon. This is the third reported formation so far for 2001. More information as it becomes available. ____________________________ |
