Unusual ground marking

Unusual ground marking

Unusual ground markings or UGMs are ground features that appear to be hard to explain. The best-known UGMs are crop circles.

Other forms of UGM are ice circles, footprints of unknown origin and burnt grass. At some Unusual Ground Markings there is said to be a higher level of radioactivity than the background of the surroundings.Fact|date=March 2007

Unusual ground markings are sometimes interpreted as landing traces of UFOs or as footprints from cryptozoological animals or extraterrestrial aliens, while for skeptics most of them are fakes.Fact|date=March 2007
