Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness

Incident date:

11.06.1971

Location:

Теллебанг QLD

Australia

On Lindsay Hartwig's property, a 6m wide ring was found in open grass right on the edge of a wooded Bush.

The ring had the shape of a 45 cm wide ring made of obviously "burnt" grass. The grass inside the "perfect circle" was quite green.

On that date, the body of Hartwig's 19-year-old son was found about 150 meters from the circle. It is reported that there was a strange mark on his face. An autopsy could not determine the cause of death.

The ring could have a "mushroom" origin.
