Original news

1977 - Rossburn, Manitoba

This event consisted of eleven "rings", ranging from eight to 20 feet diameter (roughly three to seven metres), found in a field of wheat. They were swirled anti-clockwise at ground level, though a few may have been clockwise.

In the original report, these are described as rings throughout, but a photograph from the site (right) indicates that these were full circles. However we will retain the original terminology here.

Interestingly, a few of the rings were touching, or nearly touching, in pairs, and in one case, a ring was touched by a half-ring. The positioning of the formations is also interesting, in that a telephone line ran across the field, and several rings were positioned directly beneath it.

 A report of this event appeared in Canadian UFO Report in 1979, authored by Chris Rutkowski. In his article he included another (aerial) photograph which although low-grade, reveals "spiral tracks" across the field and a large "smudged" area in the centre. This photo and the one pictured above are credited to The Brandon Sun, indicating local press coverage.

Rutkowski also drew two maps, one of which is a plan view of most of the rings, showing where they lay in relation to one another. The relevant page is reproduced below. Paul Fuller made a superior map based on Rutkowski's original, which he published in Crop Watchermagazine in 1993. This is also shown below, for clarity.
