Background

On May 20, 1983, Sam Meadows and another ranch hand discovered a perfect circle of disturbed grass in a pasture on the Teas Ranch in Hemphill County near Canadian, Texas. The circle was 29 feet in diameter, with a 4-inch-wide outer ring of much shorter and greener buffalo grass, as is typical of new grass after a fire. A prickly pear cactus pad at the edge of the ring had no spines on the side facing the ring, while the spines facing away were undamaged. No UFO was seen. W. Clark Ellzey reported the ring in the International UFO Reporter. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
