Initial data
The author of the original article received a call from a resident of Elliot Lake, who told about an unusual event on behalf of her boyfriend.
DB-E, a crisis worker at one of the local hospitals in Elliot Lake, reported that in January 1992, her boyfriend went ice fishing on a nearby lake. He drove his truck until the snow got too deep.
Not wanting to get stuck, he got out of the car and walked the rest of the way. When he arrived at the lake, he was surprised to find two large circles in the snow. Each was approximately 20 feet (6 m) in diameter and 4 feet (1.2 m) deep, down to the surface of the ice. There were no footprints, no snowmobile tracks, nothing to indicate that someone was there.
He also said that the snow or ice inside the circles looked as if they had melted and then quickly froze.

I received a call from a resident of Elliot Lake who related an unusual event on behalf of her boyfriend. DB-E, a Crisis worker for one of the local hospitals in Elliot Lake, reported that in January 1992, her boyfriend set out to go ice fishing on a nearby lake. He drove his truck until the snow got too deep. Not wanting to get stuck, he got out of his vehicle and walked the rest of the way. When he arrived at the lake, he was surprised to find two large circles in the snow. Each was approximately 20 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep, right down to the surface of the ice. There were no footprints, no snowmobile trails, nothing to indicate that someone had been there. He also said that the snow or ice within the circles looked as if it had been melted and then rapidly froze over.
Hypotheses
The formation of ice and snow over the pond
On the ice surface of the reservoir formed circles of different diameters. The scientific explanation for the formation of ice circles is that the bend of the river or over the underwater keys accelerated the flow of water crushes and twists formed ice crust, forming an ice disc. Then the rest of the ice on the surface of the water involved in rotation and sticks to the disk, which not only increases its size, but also gives a perfect round shape. Occurs mainly in waters with fairly strong current.
