Last august I received a call from the local paper asking to comment on some crop circles that had appeared in a wheat field near Lincoln road in Branston a village 5 miles from the cathedral city of Lincoln. I was a bit dubious about commenting on the subject basically because I have until then never really studied the subject to the same degree I have with UFO’s.

There is a lot of hoaxing that goes on which ruins any chance of serious study. I decided to comment but would try not to be too extreme in what I said as I did not want my words being twisted into representing me as someone who believed every crop circle was the work of aliens. As I think people have a lot of misconceptions on the people who study UFO’s.
As it was what I said and what appeared was selective to say the least.

On the Monday after the story appeared I managed to do some digging and found out that it was the work of local hoax’s, I contacted the local paper to inform them it was a hoax the next day they ran the story.

I believe that it is important we weed out these hoax’s. If you take time to read into the subject then you will find that those who have studied crop circle’s have found out some very interesting data indeed. So to be taken seriously we have to prove that we are not starry-eyed believers we can distinguish between what is real and what is not.

A few weeks later whilst taking my dog for a walk or was it the other way round.
I noticed three crop circles in a wheat field; I then had a quick look then headed home to get my camera. They where not perfect in any way but they where in a line heading south, could it have been north no because all of the stems where flattened towards the south, the stems were not broken but bent at the bottom (see photo) there was no swirling as is in common with most circles just laid out flat facing south.

The circles were approx. 30 feet in diameter all three in a row. There was no man made damage to the crops broken stems leading to the circles. The ground was rather dry so there was no way to check for footprints.

Was it raining that had caused this? I doubt this, as normally whole areas of fields are flattened not three circles in a row. As the picture of the field demonstrates there was no other damage to the field. So if it was not aliens, rain or hoax.
What was it? My personal opinion was that it was some kind of weather based phenomena.

Unless anyone out there can inform me otherwise.
