Let’s take a look at a few, out of many, enigmatic events that have occurred around the world in recent history.
A Giant Cookie-Cutter Descends on Washington State?
In October 1984, Rick Timm made a strange discovery while turning his cows out on wheat field stubble in Wenatchee, in north-central Washington State. An Associated Press article from 1989 reviewed the still unexplained discovery: “Somehow, a force bit a 10-by-7-by-2-foot chunk of dirt out of a wheat field on the Timm Brothers Ranch, rotated it counterclockwise 20 degrees as it arced across the field and sat it down intact. Geologists marveled at the hole’s smooth sides and bottom, and the way the plug 73 feet away fit its measurements exactly, just like a cookie cutter.”
Various experts considered and ruled out explanations such as a tornado ripping a chunk of earth up or some seismic event displacing. The most perplexing part was how smooth the sides were. No evidence of machinery approaching the site could be discerned. Some speculated that nearby Air Force bases may have been responsible— the classic “military experiment” explanation.
As often happens, this explanation was accompanied by the idea it may have been aliens. Timm told AP that a man who worked on the property for 30 years, “said a light followed him all around the field that night, and he doesn’t drink or do anything.”
