Residue in Drôme, France

On August 30, 1979, a farmer went to a rye field and noticed a burned circle 10.50 meters in diameter. He noticed that the grass was greener inside the circle than in the surrounding meadow. Around September 20, the same witness discovered that mushrooms of the field mushroom type had grown inside and outside the circle. This phenomenon had already been observed in the meadows of the area.
