(SHELLEY) — On Wednesday afternoon, local resident Jeff Katseanes sent these pictures to NewsTalk 107.9 in a private Facebook message. Katseanes had been driving near the Shelley exit on I-15, saw that a design had been carved into the freshly-fallen snow, and stopped to take a better look. Katseanes had his camera-equipped drone with him, and sent it into the air.
The drone pictures revealed the pizza-themed design, overlayed with the text “M9SD6L”. A cursory Google search yielded no obvious results. Why a pepperoni pizza? What does the 6-character string mean? Was it aliens, or a bored farmer with incredible tractor-driving skills?
At first glance, the image appears to be an ink sketch on paper, but on closer examination, zooming in on a high-res image, it shows clear plow tracks. Here are the four images sent in by Katseanes:

This may be one of the strangest news tips we’ve ever recieved from a listener. Your thoughts and sleuthing efforts are welcome!
Reach out to Ryan Searle. This was done by a small tractor and a tiller that was obviously GOS guided. I watched them doing it yesterday morning. Ryan and his wife have a corn maize and are farmers so the GOS guidance makes perfect sense
Sorry GPS not GOS
I HATE AUTO CORRECT!
Short wave radio handle

Drove out to see it today and found it. Interesting energy
Interesting. But I can’t really see the details. Can you post some hi-res photos?
Maybe he was sending a message to a friend flying over with his special order. Medium #9, side dish 6 large lol
I just think people are just behind this. Snow fell and they decided to have some fun with it. I normally think people are just doing this just to get attention. Something to get this covid news a break. That’s what I think.
It looks like a manhole cover with identification on it of maybe location or type of cover.
