Reported Crop Circles from the State of Iowa -

Oskaloosa, Mahaska County (1883)

A family of witnesses on a farm described seeing a flying object ‘lit up like a birthday cake’. The object proceeded to fly over them until they lost sight of it behind a nearby hill, whereby they retreated to their cyclonic cellar for the night. The next day they found a large circle in the grass field behind the hill with several burned areas. Several neighbors also reported seeing the object in the air.

Eyewitness report only.

Crop type: grass
