very interesting. I suppose there may have been something buried there that extraterrestrials may have wanted to get at.

Looks like someone took a tree spade and pulled a plug of earth and moved it.
Wonder if this guy has neighbors into practical jokes and have a tree spade.
If this area gets a few feet of snow someone could drive the tree spade in and do the joke and the next snow would cover the tracks and in the spring this is just what you would find no sign of how it was done.
Or maybe the farmer is into playing jokes on government scientists.

If you take into consideration that the people who are flying these copters are human, then you'll know that they'll do things to wind UFO researchers up including dropping the dead cow from high up, or similar, just to break up the monotony

The best kind of pranks wind up with people believe it was done by an alien.
In 1997 radio host Art Bell first introduced his listeners to Mel Waters, a man from Eastern Washington who claimed to have discovered an ancient and apparently bottomless pit on his property. The story of the hole was remarkable enough, but the subsequent events took an almost surreal bent- Mel was threatened into silence by the US military, exiled into cushy Wombat Restoration service in Australia, and tipped off to a second bottomless pit in Nevada. As the story unfolded over the course of several years, it garnered many followers, not just among connoisseurs of paranormal research, but among artists and writers as well."

Never said it was an alien - I said it reminded me of cattle mutilation cases - I dont claim to know what the heck those things are about, but I found it odd - perhaps it's just me - but what kind of prank exactly is this?
As the report states by the nature of the land on which it was found, there was a good chance no one would have found it - for a long time.
Why go to all the bother and since when is earth moving such a hilarious past time?

I've just re-watched the video
The guy who is being interviewed, has not disturbed ANY of the snow to look for tracks underneath. Once the snow had melted, he may have seen tracks which would explain why this story was never continued.
As for what sort of machine could do this, then:
Something similar to this?
The director of the nearby Raritan Valley Community College planetarium inspected the mystery crater and concluded that a meteorite hadn't struck the area.
