Crop circles are boring - it is time for ice circles
For years, farmers and other pranksters fooled the world with their crop circles, but now their tricks have all been uncovered, it is clearly time to introduce the world to something new.
Enter ice circles. This strange phenomenon has been spotted in several locations around the world, and you have to see it to believe it. The circles appear in frozen lakes and rivers, and the perfectly round circles spin on their own.
Of course, these circles are attracting believers in the "strange and bizarre" who will always look for the most wacky explanation to the circles. An overview of some of the ice circles witnessed around the world can be found here.
My guess? Someone is having a lot of fun watching all this attention to their newest pranks!
More ice cold news we've covered in the past - Brrrrr!

I've seen ice circles-probably air pockets and I have heard frozen lakes make sounds like whales...

look at the extra ice around the edges, someone clearly cut the ice.

I guess it makes sense that another, probably higher consciouness would want to communicate through something as pure as art. Since any sort of verbal communication with us would be difficult, if not disastrous. Seeing as it invariably is among ourselves.

If aliens can do that, we need them to walk the beat
in the neighborhood. They can use the thugs as
spinners or whatever. We can use them, the aliens
I mean.

Why is it that every single time something seems weird or unexplainable you people always blame it on aliens and ufos get smart and do some experiments yourself and figure it out.

Um, how big is this ice circle? The size of a Volkswagen, the size of what?
I mean i can see around the edge what look like drill holes, but it's still weird, yes, the current can spin the circle, but what made the circle, and how big is it? This is the problem, like with the Montauk Monster, if you see something you don't understand and it's on the ground, put your foot in the shot, or drop a quarter next to it, so we can get some scale... for all I know that was taken with a telephoto lens and it's the size of coffee cup.... it's hard to tell... i believe in other realms, but this is odd... i don't care who did it...

been reading the pros and cons about aliens. don't know if we are or are not being visited by "aliens" from other worlds. I do believe it is mathematically impossable for us to be the only intelligent life forms in this (known) universe. however, forthe none believers, when we visited the moon or sent our probe to mars or out into space, were we not the aliens? how can you really think we are the only life forms? Amazing!!!

Obviously an Alien Invasion is imminent....What other reason could there be for such a thing.
We will soon be under attack and it will be worse than
Ted Kennedy falling down on us in a drunken stupor. I do hope that We can Hold off these alien hordes long enough for me to take a vacation to Sea World

People like to believe they're special. Denying the existence of other forms of life in the universe is just their way of taking that to the extreme. Personally, I don't see how the existence or non-existence of life on others planets makes me any more or less unique. *shakes head*
