In the video below, which aired on GMA this morning, he called the giant spinning ice disk the "8th wonder of the world." Meanwhile, the theme from the TV series "The X-Files" was playing in the background. Holmes referred to the ice as a "perfectly formed 100-yard-across circle of ice" in the middle of the Presumpscot River with "hypnotic powers."
