Full Description & Details

the land we hunt year after year is across the lake from my brothers cottage. there are some trails there that we travel as we hunt. one year we came across a burnt area. circular in shape about 30 feet in diameter. there was a small maple tree on the side of the trail which was also scorched, but only on the one side. when i say scorched, i mean the ground itself was all yellow with the grasses and bushes still there but dead. the tree was blackened on the one side. each year we passed this area i commented to my friend that there is nothing growing there, and nothing did for about 7 or 8 years. the little maple stayed the same size too. then the next year we went back the maple was three times it's original size. probably just a good growth year. Anyways, the year after that we came across the spot and it was re-scorched. the grasses and bushes had just started to reappear the year previous. The circular shape on the ground was bigger, perhaps 50 feet in diameter, directly over the original spot, more scorching on the same side of the maple. bushes that were perhaps 2 to 3 inches in diameter at the perimeter of the circle were twisted violently at a level of perhaps 3 ft off the ground, all of them. but most of the tops were still on them, just hanging over like someone had twisted them till they almost fell off then dropped them. the next two years nothing grew there and we have'nt been back since. my dates are probably off and maybe my friend could better remember, but we are both still scratching our heads as too what may have caused it. a few that ran thru our heads were a farmer had dumped some chemical there which killed the vegetation for a period of years, but would not explain the tree and the original burning. lightning, but i think the vegetation would have grown back, and I don't think it would have hit twice in the same spot. Neither of us believe in ufo's but we both did comment on it in a joking way. I saw a show on t.v. today with this website listed so I thought I would send a mail and see if anyone there was interested in this info. mail me back if you wish and let me know what you think.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?
