Mystery Crater in a Pond... Empty Mystery Crater in a Pond...

Farmer found a crater in the middle of his irrigation pond!

CIRCLEVILLE, Piute County — Farmers in southern Utah are scratching their heads and trying to figure out what caused an unusual phenomenon in an irrigation pond. Earlier this week, Gary Dalton of Circleville discovered a mysterious crater that suddenly appeared under the water.

"The sun was just right," Dalton said, "so, I saw this blasted thing that no one had ever seen."

He noticed it after most of the water was drained from the pond for irrigation. Just beneath the surface he saw concentric circles in the pond botom with a diameter of about 25 feet. The outer ring is a circular depression filled with algae. An inner circle looks as though something erupted from beneath, forming what looks startlingly like a small volcanic crater.

From Here.

Looks like some form of object impacted in that pond.

It certainly does look like an impact crater of some sort Len.

It's a real head-scratcher alright!
