Very strange things happened in the village of Perry located in Ohio in the United States. A few days ago one of the residents discovered the presence of several mounds of snow, the origin of which remains a mystery. Some people think that this is an alien traces.

The next morning after celebrating Thanksgiving, Ellen Nai found in the driveway of a series of piles of snow on the ground. These little mounds looked like perfectly formed doughnuts: they were round shaped and had a hole. In total they were ten.

Fred McMullen , a meteorologist working in the office of the National weather service of Pittsburgh, said that such formations are rare, but not unusual. He said that the snow on Thanksgiving Day on a very wet asphalt can give this effect. Thus, the snow melting unevenly, making a hole in the middle of the snow mounds, making them look like donuts.

In addition, he said that they, in addition to taking strange forms, can display unusual colors, decorating yourself as an example a bright blue color.

When Nye heard the explanation of Macmillan, it was set up quite skeptical:

"I can't understand the origin of these forms, but I don't think it really happened the way he explained it."

What is it? A simple weather phenomenon or something unexplainable? The opinions were divided.

Original news

Des choses très étranges se sont produites dans le village de Perry, situé dans l’Etat de l’Ohio aux Etats-Unis. En effet, il y a quelques jours, une habitante a découvert la présence de plusieurs monticules de neige dont l’origine reste un mystère. Certains s’imaginent qu’il s’agit de traces de pas extraterrestres …

Le lendemain matin des festivités de Thanksgiving, Ellen Nye découvrit, dans son allée, une succession d’amas de neige qui jonchaient le sol. Ces petits monticules ressemblaient tous à desbeignets parfaitement bien formés : ainsi, ils étaient de forme circulaire et avaient un trou à l’intérieur. Au total, cette habitante en a comptabilisé une douzaine. Aujourd’hui, cette dernière est totalement déroutée de la façon dont ces anomalies sont apparues. Elle raconte :

« C’était si parfait. »

Fred McMullen, un météorologue travaillant pour le bureau du National Weather Service de Pittsburgh, a déclaré que ce genre de formations est rare mais pas extraordinaire. Il a affirmé que la neige tombée la nuit de Thanksgiving sur un asphalte très humide pouvait produire ce genre d’effet. Ainsi, la neige aurait fondu de manière inégale, creusant un trou au centre de monticules de neige les faisant ressembler à des beignets.

Par ailleurs, il a affirmé que ce genre de curiosités, en plus de prendre des formes étranges, pouvait arborer des couleurs extraordinaires en se parant d’un bleu éclatant.

Lorsque Nye a entendu l'explication de McMullen, elle s’est montrée plutôt sceptique :

« Je ne peux pas comprendre l’origine de ces formes. Je ne pense pas que c’est cela qui s’est réellement produit, mais je ne sais pas ce que c’était. »

De quoi s’agit-il ? Un simple phénomène météorologique ou quelque chose d’inexplicable ? Les avis sont partagés. Et vous, qu’en pensez-vous ?

PERRY TWP. -- Weird things have been happening at Ellen Nye’s house. In the past few weeks, the Perry Township resident said her cell phone has begun ringing while it was turned off and her car doors spontaneously locked while in her garage.

But the topper came on the morning after Thanksgiving.

From one end of her driveway to the other, Nye’s driveway looked like the morning shift at Dunkin’ Donuts. Only the powder on these “doughnuts” was snow. And they weren’t doughnuts.

About a dozen doughnut-shaped -- right down to the hole in the center -- snow mounds lined her driveway. Nye said she was baffled as to how the mounds got there.

“It was a perfect pattern,” she said.

Fred McMullen, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Pittsburgh office, said the formations are unusual but not extraordinary. He said a high-moisture snow fell Thanksgiving night on Nye’s wet blacktop driveway and melted unevenly.

McMullen said the snow might have melted from the inside out.

“That could have melted a pocket in the snow,” he said.

Uneven melting can create anomalies, McMullen said, which causes not just strange shapes like the doughnuts in Nye’s driveway, but also out-of-the-ordinary colors. With a high-moisture snow, sometimes the combination of melting and the angle at which lights hit the snow can give it a blue appearance.

When Nye heard McMullen’s explanation, she was skeptical that the phenomenon in her driveway could be explained by something as pedestrian as uneven melting.

“I can’t understand the shapes,” she said of McMullen’s theory. “I don’t think that’s what happened, but I don’t know what it was.”
