The naturally occurring disk formed over the weekend in Westbrook, Maine on the Presumpscot River, drawing curious onlookers to investigate the strange sight.
‘It kind of looks like a crop circle,’ resident Doug Bertlesman told the Portland Press Herald.
‘It’s pretty wild to look at,’ he said. ‘It’s certainly not every day that you can watch a spinning circle of ice in the river.’
