Madisonville (WVLT) - Man-made or alien-aligned? For the second time in two years, a crop circle's appeared in Monroe County.
Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy's walked the crop circle.
Does anyone know what made this? Not just yet, but everyone has their own theory. This new designs just down the road from the first crop circle. That appeared last May also in a wheat field. Neighbors say whoever, or whatever did it worked quickly and quietly.
Beyond still-standing blades, there are others pushed in a perfect pattern.
"I don't know whether it's man-made or not," resident Johnnie Helm said.
It's the second Monroe County Crop Circle in two years. These lines and curves appeared in Johnnie Helm's 50-acre wheat field Monday morning.
"I didn't hear nothing. And I'm up and down all night," Helm said.
Her neighbor, Jean Merrell first spotted the bent blades.
"I always look out the window, and I thought, my goodness, what's in the field? What's happened?" resident Jean Merrell said.
The "what"? Well, the crushed crops form a triangle. At each corner a pair of circles, but "how" and "who" wilted the wheat is a crop quandary.
"I really don't think it's man-made. I don't believe anyone could do that, that quick and so perfect," Merrell said.
These thin lines are the only paths in and out. Helms says they're from crop fertilization and they've been here months. The new field phenomena's less than a half mile from last May's Crop Circle just outside Madisonville. Investigators ruled that design "non man-made." Crop circle researches came to investigate last year's design. As for this one, they want to come back.
"They'd have to be very careful, cause I ain't talked to the man I rent it to," Helm said.
For now the rows of curved crops inspire...
"I think it's something fantastic myself," Merrell said.
...Not scare.
"If it's aliens and they want me, they'll come and get me. Will you put up a fight? No. Why? I'll talk to them. What if you don't speak Alien? They better speak English," Helm said.
And Helm wants to know...why her backyard?
Investigators with the independent crop circle researchers organizations plan to scientifically test this design next week, but they still have to get helm's permission.
We've haven't revealed the exact location on purpose. Her land's private property. She doesn't want strangers trampling the crops. So public visits are off-limits, for now.
Lol. Freeper Helm. English only Aliens.
Clearly the End is Near.
Our planet must only be attracting the lazy hayseed extraterrestrials now.
I suspect man-made - as in some operators fooling around or the SyOps boys doodling with a laser from a spy satellite.
Hell, that makes as much sense as anything else I’ve read.
Has anyone done a study to see if the circles occur in areas known satellites pass over? Then again, there’s those satellites we don’t know about. (cough)
Generally speaking, if you find yourself adding “UFO” to the keyword field, then your thread belongs in General/Chat/UFO.
Oh...”crop circles”...
Never mind.
They had a lot of these in England. I saw a guy demonstrate on TV how he made them.
Someone’s tractor wheel is stuck in a turn .....
We’re getting illegal alien aliens now. Doing the crop circle jobs the high class aliens just won’t do.
Sorry...”their”
Whoa! A generic “Spiro-graph”!
Whoa! A generic “Spiro-graph”!
It’s just sculpting in an available medium. Some farmer’s medium.
It was the VK's on maneuvers.
It is a pictograph form of a dialect spoken in the vicinity of Theta Recticuli. It reads “Send more beer and pork rinds.”
Funny, nobody's heard from Mel in a while either ...
No it looks like something with two really big ears.
I must be a sign telling us the new saviour has really big ears.
Now who could that be?
Hey, we are not Allowed to mention his BIG EARS or his MIDDLE NAME or his RELIGION!
A few years ago someone cut one into a city park over this way with a lawnmower.
Its's geometrically amateur. Two people with Jr.High geometry and a 100' tape measure could have done it.
Oh wait, tune into MSNBC. Ron Paul is discussing this issue right now!
I loved that toy.
Or that he is a Marxist. Karl not Harpo.
Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon.
LOL! I could also imagine some bored students, most likely from the local engineering/comp. sci./math departments.... heck, I’ve sort of always wanted to do it myself, but somewhere where it’s not actually damaging crops.
Well, maybe the aliens were in a hurry or something.
