My husband just noticed it as he was getting ready to mow the back yard. He showed it to me and it looks a little freaky. It is looks very light grey-blue and when you step on it, dust arises and it looks even a little more lighter in color. There are particles stuck on the grass that are just specks of the color. I have never seen anything like this before.
I don't think it is anyone playing a prank as we have no close neighbors and live out in the country. So that is out, but there must be some real explanation.
I am not sure what category to post this question in, but I wanted to start here.

lawn circles are known sometimes as "fairy rings" and are the result of fungi, compare it to these

How big is it, and is it dry?
Two thoughts are: dryer lint, or puffball mushrooms. The latter can be stepped on and puff up spores that look like dust, except the ones I've seen are like an inch across and tan. Maybe a different species?

Take pictures of it. See if it's not just a child's ball. Try to dig it out. If it is truly bizarre, you might consider contacting MUFON, they have well-trained experienced researchers who could help you out.

Sounds like some kind of fungus. Ask a local nursery.
