With regards to your article "Mysterious signs found in
Singapore", the answer is pretty obvious in my opinion.
We can rule out possibilities (1) and (2) on grounds of
practicality. Markings made on sand are easily destroyed by a
number of factors, such as passing vehicles, weather and other
humans. If the circles were made to mark out a construction site
or military checkpoint, it would have been better to use something
more permanent.
Possibility (3) violates Occum's Razor (do not multiply entities
beyond necessity). Before we can even consider this possibility,
we would have to prove that UFOs, which I take to mean alien
flying saucers, actually exist.
Possibility (4) is possible but not so probable.
Possibility (5) is the simplest explanation and seems most likely
to me.
Possibility (6) is both impractical and violates Occum's Razor

The circle could be made by a bike. It used to be a popular way of
playing with your bike some time ago.
Doing in on the road will burn your tyres badly. The front wheel
is stationary while the back will move sideward turning a circle.
It requires some skills to maneuver your bike this way. I've seen
people doing it before. It is something like hold to your brakes,
stepping on the accelerator and forced your bike to move sideward.
It will form a nice circle. Last time mo to siao (bike crazy) like
to do it on the road (like making a statement / gang statement &
showing off) but burn the tire very badly.

I guess the theory of using a bike and the specified method would
produce round shaped streaks on tarmac. But the case of sand, I
guess that this will probably have sand spewing in all directions
of the circle, thereby causing streaks coming out of the rim of
the circle.
I can notice separate tyre tracks of vehicles going across this,
and I suspect that the “crop markings” was made by a big object
being put at rest on the site. Once the object was put down, it
created these deep markings, signifying quite a heavy object too.
When the object was lifted, the vehicles bearing/ carrying the
object had their tyre track overlapping when they were driving
off.
