Meteorite version
Some leisure enthusiastsstudies of the influence of cosmic "aliens" on the formation of the modern appearance of our planet do not agree with the version of the karst nature of Lake Krugloye.

After these words, a rather large log swam from the opposite bank in his direction. Driven by curiosity, the man swam to meet and noticed that his bark was moving. It turned out that there were several snakes on the log. In fright, the joker swam back. Since then, he has sworn himself not to enter the water of Lake Krugloye, and, coming there to rest, he limited himself to cooking kebabs and sunbathing.
UFO
Some residents of Dyatkovo say thatthey saw a strange, incomprehensible luminescence under the water column of the lake and even noticed an object resembling a cigar or a plate.

The young people took a lot of pictures. However, upon returning home, there was no sign of a UFO. Scientists explain this phenomenon by optical illusion.
