Tournefeuille (31) 1993 crop circle

Summary

In September 1993, a homeowner in Tournefeuille (France) discovered a circle of about 8 meters in diameter in his garden. The grass around the perimeter was uniformly bent outward, about 30 cm wide, and the center contained an automatic sprinkler nozzle. A violent storm had flooded the area days before, causing electrical disturbances in the sprinkler system's fuse. A quick analysis by the SEPRA suggested that the sprinkler nozzle had opened unexpectedly, watering the area without pressure for some time, which explained the phenomenon. Although initially intriguing, the case showed no signs of non-terrestrial activity.
