Spinning disc: Experts say a combination of cold, dense air last weekend and an eddy in the river likely caused this 'rare' ice circle in a North Dakota river
The retired engineer said that when he first saw the floating disc he couldn't believe his eyes.
The 73-year-old said: 'At first I thought, no way! It was surreal. You looked at it and you thought, how did it do that?'
He calculated the disk's diameter to be about 55 feet, took photos and videos of it and then turned to the internet for more information about what he, his brother-in-law and nephew had seen.
