Crop
circles appear in Bedford cornfield
Flattened
crop makes for an odd sight
A rare and “pretty”
sight was on display for people gathered in a
Bedford cornfield last night, said Bedford
Police Department dispatcher Mark Duncan.
“It’s the weirdest looking thing I’ve ever seen
in my life,” he said of about a dozen crop
circles and other, stranger shapes created by
flattened corn. About two acres of 8-foot high
corn — hundreds of dollars’ worth — are
flattened to the ground “as tight as can be,”
with curved ends that make the circles resemble
bowls, Duncan said.
“I don’t think it was a person who did this,” he
said. The largest circle is at least the length
of a football field, he added.
The first call about the strange crop circles,
or weather circles as Duncan called them, came
in to dispatch Friday afternoon. He believes the
crop shapes are weather-related and hopes to
call in someone from the weather service to see
the cornfield, which is on Sandpit Road just off
Mitchell Road. The area got rain, he said, but
not severe weather.
“We’ve had lots of traffic problems,” Duncan
said about 9 p.m. Friday, with all the curious
people stopping to see the flattened corn, which
is on a privately owned farm.

We were aware
of this field about a week ago and have been
in touch with the local news media and
police. This is actually the 2nd field in
the mid-west that we've looked at recently
with large areas of more or less
randomly-downed crop--this time it's "sudangrass,"
not maize. We only have one photo right
now, taken by Pete Schreiner of the Bedford
Times-Mail. A local policeman has taken a
number of others, which are being sent to us
on a disc. Large, randomly-downed areas of
flattened sudangrass in Bedford, Indiana,
found September 12, 2008:

Although the
farmer in this case attributes the downed
crop to weather damage, weather reports
covering the night prior to the discovery do
not indicate either intense rain or high
winds. This was also the case in the very
strangely-downed maize field BLT
investigated a few weeks ago in Missouri.
We are hearing the term "microburst"
mentioned in regards to both of these
situations; whether this is really what
happened is not yet clear.

I talked to Michael St. Charles while
he was in the field, photographing the formation. It appears from
his description of it to be an "RDF" or randomly-downed formation.
He said he'll send me some photos of it when he gets back home...
Jeff Wilson There really is something in that field....I've
got somebody out taking photos right now...will get back to you
soon. Thanks for the info,

Just heard about
another formation near Duncan. Three small circles with connecting
pathways in grass (?). All circles small, clockwise. A "knot" in
centre of one of them. May be a couple weeks old or so.
The woman who
reported it is Elsa Morrison. She's seen it and had a camera at
the time, but didn't think it would be helpful to take ground
photos (??), so seeing if someone else has or can take some. On
Keating Farm on Miller Road.

My dad, Ken Stokley, returned
home to his ranch in the East Mountains of New Mexico (due east of
Albuquerque, near Tijeras), after visiting relatives in Michgan.
Inside his horse arena he found 5 circles inside the corral that
resembled crop circles, except they were in the dirt. This happened
between Friday July 11 2008 & Sunday July 13th. Dad searched the
area outside the arena and saw no tracks going in nor out of the
arena. Later he drove his tractor inside the arena and examined and
took photos of the circles, which are approximately 20 feet in
diameter. His neighbour contacted a local newspaper, the Edgewood
Independent. They cam out and took photos from the top of the fence.
When this story broke, a news helicopter came out and took photos
after everyone had tracked all through the arena, to include
neighbours, etc. They interviewed Dad on the phone and he told them
that he had driven his tractor around, but they neglected to include
that info in the following broadcast:

Here's an update regarding the circle
reported near the end of June near Greenville, Illinois.
There was in fact a peculiar-looking imprint in a wheat
field near Greenville (see aerial photo from the local
newspaper) and BLT fieldworker JoAnne Scarpellini did in
fact drive to Greenville in an attempt to clarify this
event's origins. Both from my phone conversations with the
field owner's daughter-in-law and from JoAnne's
investigation on the ground we are pretty certain that local
16-year-old boys got inspired one night and, using a hockey
stick, flattened these rings into the field.
The daughter-in-law did supply a number
of ground photos, but none close enough to the actual
flattened plants for us to make any statements about the
effects on them--and the field had been cut by the time
JoAnne got to the area.
I think we can safely assume, in this case, that kids
(rather than something a bit more interesting) were
responsible.

This circle was reported by Karin

but we think it is a commercial for the
