Concentric circles embedded in dust on car

[Chelle27]

I am hoping to find someone who has had a similiar experience or know why concentric circles were embedded in the dust on my car.

My car set up for 2 months and gathered dust in my garage. The concentric circles were perfect. We tried to duplicate them but it was impossible. When we tried the dust would leave traces and piles on the circles we tried to create.

The circles that just showed up on my car were perfect; each embedded circle showed no trail of dust on the circle within circles and no evidence of what could have created the concentric circles on my car. Most were 3, 5, and 6 ring circles, ranging from 1 inch in diameter to 5 inches. There had to be atleast 50 total embedded on my car.

I have had many paranormal/spiritual experiences: ufo, ghost, shadow, cloaking humanoids, fairies with over 600 photos of experiences so I am used to strange things happening, however, I have NEVER heard of this.

This event happened between this past October thru January. 08'

Each day there would be more concentric circles.

Does anyone have any idea or intuition about what this means?

Peace & light

A paranormal explanation is the LAST thing I would consider.

Water or oil droplets sound much more feasible. A pic would help a lot.

I'm sorry, but obviously you didn't read the post accurately; My car was in a garage. No rain droplets could have been in my garage. Besides I have had rain drops on my car since then and they form no conformed shape. The only way that a rain drop could form a concentric circle is to be dropped in liquid. Are you saying my car is liquid?

Research concentric circles before replying to posts that are looking for educated theories. In addition, you suggested (OIL); I suppose my roof was leaking oil? Think about it....or go do an experiment...

Oil would splatter just like it does in the kitchen...duh.....no concentric circles !

GEEZ

I read your post, and I understand it was in a garage. I know what a concentric circle is, thanks for basically calling me an idiot.

However, how am I supposed to know what goes on in your garage? They are oily, dirty places - who says water, oil, or chemicals can't get into the air somehow? Starting a lawnmower, putting away a hose, maybe a leak in the roof - there are a multitude of sources of foreign material in a garage. Liquid droplets of various thing can spread out in a uniform circle on a surface - as you like to say, go do an experiment. It could be caused any number of normal, natural means.

Without a pic, it's hard to say what it is, but you seem determined to think it was something out of reality for reasons unknown. You wanted an explanation, and I listed the first things that came to mind. Sorry if a UFO wasn't one of them.

You seem extremely open-minded to ideas people give you about your question, though. Super good job!

Any work on the car that could have created vibrations??? Tried to film your car to see any created???

Good luck on finding the answer.

Chelle27,

Not about to doubt you! Or to suggest reasons to explain it. I had the exact same thing happen and have a dozen or more photos to verify it. Your range in sizes were very close to mine. Mine however occurred almost exclusively on the rear of my car. So exact that they followed the contour of the body perfectly. As small as an inch on my rear mud flap and rear window wiper arm, up to about 5-6 inches on the upper body. It simply took the dust and moved it, or removed it, to leave perfectly clean surfaces between the rings. My event happened recently about three weeks ago. Did not make me feel very comfortable knowing that obviously something was projected at my vehicle. As with you, my vehicle was not exposed to rain or other contaminates. Be happy to exchange pictures if you like.

[Vlawde]

Maybe insects? But yeah. photos would help

[simplybill]

It may have to do with car design and placement of insulation and crossbracing. The temperature variations may affect the amount of dust that accumulates in different areas.

I used to own a car that, on frosty mornings, had triangles on the hood that matched the insulation on the underside of the hood.

Hard to say without pictures though.

I just searched for this, its on my car did you ever get an answer?

[Patient Zero]

Crop circle makers got bored?

Pictures are a must here.

Hi Chelle27 and Reallytellme

I got the same concentric circles stamped on my car as something removed the dust cirurgically from the night to the day.

The facts:

When it happened 14/12 to 15/12/2017 night
Several circles and concentric circles appeared over the car dust in different parts, some precisely followed the car contour
My car was in a closed garage
There were no marks the day before
After the event I sent my car to car washer on 15/12/2017 afternoon
On 16//2017 after driving offroad the marks where back on the dust (yes after washing the car)

I did not matter when they appeared the first time (so sent to car wash) 

I send here some pictures from what I believe to be secondary, from the remaining electrostatic or something after washing the car and having some dust again.

I am not sure what can be that but I think it is good to reference somewhere like here so more people can find it and track what can be natural stuff or not.

Now it is 7 months later. Even the car is washed some marks appear at the same places but not so strong, it seems to be related to some electrostatic that remains but weaker.

How is it possible that there is no information or any mention of these circles anywhere else on the internet?? Only here. This has been a puzzle of mine for over 5 years. I own a police impound yard and noticed these circles after moving the business to a new location(same town). Yesterday I spotted  3 on a Porsche. 2 on the hood, 1 on the A pillar next to the windshield. At about midnight, I walked through the yard and noticed two new circles taking shape on the windshield. No signs of life of any kind. These curcles are almost always the same concentric design, but varied sizes. I’m truly at a loss on what is making these. Reserching on the internet has turned up nothing except more unanswered questions. How can only a handful of people in the world know about these. 

[Eastern_Owl]

Hairs or other objects stuck to the surfaces cause it. Had this happen to my car. Theres dog hairs in the center of each circle.

WOW! I FINALLY find people who have seen the very same amazing dust circles that I have seen for 13 years and searched all over the internet to no avail! We live in the Las Vegas area where there is a ton of dust and it gets in all storage units no matter how much you try to prevent it from getting all over your stuff. I have LOADS of pictures from the past 13 years both inside my storage, house, outside on the BBQ, vehicles and some from a friends house. I am COMPLETELY AMAZED at these dust circles. It was so amazing that we wondered what we would see if we didn't dust for a few weeks and it was AMAZING what we saw! The pictures are wonderful! The dust circles range in size from the size of an eraser on a pencil (some may even be a little smaller) to 16 inches or more. Whatever makes these concentric circles do pick up little hairs and if you examine the circles carefully, you will see a hair in the very center of the circles. The concentric dust circle rings are all different thickness, it's almost like a fingerprint, everyone is different. Anyway, I guess my pictures are too large, so they will not allowed any pictures to be attached and I don't know howto make them smaller. Anyone interested in seeing some pictures, please contact me and I will be happy to send some to you.

Sounds like some kind of static electrical phenomenon, if there's a bit of something in the center of each one. I've never heard of static electricity creating circular fields, but it makes sense if you think about it. The field of effect around an object would be circular, with the object repulsing tiny dust particles away from itself.

Thanks for your post moonman. BTW, I LOVE your little saying about being open-minded, it made me chuckle. But your right :-)  Are you thinking a static electrical example be something like when you are walking on a rug and you touch something and get a static electrical discharge? Wouldn't that result of the discharge, of static electricity, be all erratic and random instead of perfectly formed, perfect concentric circles? These dust circles are so amazingly perfect and I have looked at these with a magnifying glass and am blown away! We have pondered so many different ideas as to what makes them, but just can't come up with a plausible answer. We even have night cameras that have, so far, not picked up anything, but maybe the cameras need to me much closer and our cameras are in a set location. I wonder if anyone else has considered setting up night vision cameras and maybe had a different result? Also, I was wondering if maybe these dust circles are only formed in dry, dusty desert areas? I also wonder if others have tried, in their homes, not dusting for a couple of WEEKS, (if they can stand it...I know it's hard, but it's an experiment and the result is seeing these fun dust circles showing up in the weirdest places) and see what shows up? Just a thought. 

[Captainalmeida]

As extra information... In my case, I cleaned the circles several times (soap and water and rinse) and they appeared again (as weaker) at the same places... There was no hair in the center, just the circles.
Unfortunately, the car was destroyed in an accident and I have it no more.

I've got a perfect circle on my works van, on the sliding door, it's due to a magnet on the inside panel. 

Even after I removed the magnet(used for keeping sheet metal and bits and pieces) the circle is still there.

The panel is magnetized. I keep a set of carburetor screwdrivers on a magnet so little screws stay attached to them and don't fall into unreachable spots.

Interesting though.....if the cause is magnetic attraction, that would probably mean that the dust being attracted has some amount of a magnetically at tractable metal within it?     If you take a magnet outside and drag it through some sand, some particles will stick to it....many of those tiny bits are actually the remains of meteorites.   (Harte taught me that, so I tried it..and sho nuff! )

Could be static electricity. 

That's one of the tricks we were using to explore Carolina bays and looking for the debris fields from the Tom's River and Chesapeake Bay Events. But iron in soil isn't always from space. Some of it is from the Great Oxidation Event and iron oxide particles that can be found in sand deposits related to both past and current oceans. The Miocene sands in the pine barren "islands" up and down the Eastern U.S. are loaded with iron from the ocean when the sea level was much higher. 

Neat thing to observe if you frequent a cypress-cedar swamp over the course of a decade or so is to watch a iron ore bed slowly build itself as the stream pulls the iron from the sand and deposits it on a bank.

What about a moth stuck on something sticky.

Ah!    Thanks for the info Piney
