An unidentified UFO object landed in the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain. In the first days of April, the Volga photographer Maxim Kucherov went on a picnic with friends to the Volga-Akhtuba floodplain and saw an inexplicable phenomenon.

At first, the attention of young people was attracted by an absolutely round "bald spot" in the dense thickets of reeds. Coming closer, the tourists found that the stems of the reeds inside were so neatly stacked, as if they were first swirled by a whirlwind, and then some round body was crushed on top.

Look at the photo and judge for yourself, what could it be? Have the so-called "crop circles" reached us, which have been increasingly observed in England over the past few years?

The wind

Wind — flow of air, which quickly moves parallel to the earth's surface.

Wind is the result of uneven distribution of atmospheric pressure and is directed from areas of high pressure to the low pressure zone. Due to the continuous pressure changes in time and space speed and wind direction are constantly changing. With height wind speed varies with the decrease of the friction force.

Winds can affect the formation of the relief, causing Eolian deposits that form different kinds of soils (e.g., loess) or erosion.

Lodging of plants on the field
