UFO debunkers have often tried to explain away physical trace
cases as Faerie Rings. They are distinct from each other and
from Crop circles. Faerie rings involve fungi.

No fungi were found in the Delphos case that I use in my
lecture. The soil was dried out down 14" in depth and would not
absorb moisture nor support plant growth and of course a Flying
Saucer was observed just over the area where the physical trace
appeared. The ring had not been there prior to the observation
of the saucer.

In practically no case have there been saucers observed in
conjunction with the crop circles... nor with the faerie rings.

In addition, the CC are far more elaborate. Hockey pucks and
basketballs can both be described as round objects but are
hardly interchangeable.
