Thursday morning Lene Kjølberg (39[yrs old]) from Rælingen in Akershus [received] a bit of a surprise when she walked out on the porch of the building where she lives. 
 
[In] the field [...] there was a large grain circle. 
 
Nettavisen:  Have you seen anything like this?  Send SMS / MMS code word suggestions for 1930, Telefon 21 00 60 10, or e-mail vaktsjef@nettavisen.no 

 
"I was a bit like, 'Oh! what is this?'  I know what the phenomenon is, but I was very surprised that it was so close," said Kjølberg to Nettavisen. 
 
Kjølberg ran in[side] and picked up [her] camera, and took the picture you see [here]. 
 

Fairly large 
During the night the corn circle mysteriously appeared, and the big question is how it came about and who made it. 
 
"The circle is quite large, approximately 30 meters in diameter, [with] kind of a sickle at the top and bottom of the ring", says Kjølberg. 
 
Nettavisen:  Do you know how [the] corn circle occurred?
 
"No, I have no idea, I must honestly say," said [the] 39-year-old. 
 
She says that there [had] been some people who [had gone] to see the corn circle on Thursday afternoon and evening.  

Very exciting 
One of those who have been [to visit this Circle] is Eva-Marie Brekkestø.  She is the only one in the Nordic countries who has written a book about the phenomenon. 
 
BBC spoke with her just after she had [gone to] and beheld the circle Thursday night. 
 
"I think it was very exciting," said an excited Brekkestø. 
 
She says she is pretty sure [the] corn circle is not man-made. 
 
"The circle I've just been inside I do not think has been man-made.  I take reservations, but the little I saw, it seemed that [it was not] man-made", says [the] corn circle expert. 
 
No tracks in the middle 
Brekkestø says she has seen many crop circles, and more, as she once [saw one] made by people. 
 
"I've seen a number of man-made crop circles in my life, and several [which] have been very nicely done. So circles are man-made and made in Norway and other countries. But a human activity cannot explain this entire phenomenon, for there are some circles where there is a mystery [as to] how they have arisen," she says enthusiastically. 
 
She explains why she does not think the circle on Rælingen are boys' highlights [uh, maybe 'hijinks'?]: 
 
"What was most interesting in this circle was that it was a ring, and the [entire field] is filled with [standing] grain. To [lay] the grain down in [side] a ring, you must have access to the centre, one must stand in the center while another person goes around [a pre-measured distance to define the ring]. And here [there were] no tracks in the middle.  There were no tracks," says Brekkestø.  

Earth Energy has made the [Circle?] 
Nettavisen: But how do you think this may have occurred [t]hen, if it is not man-made? 
 
"I do not know, but I think that it is Earth's energy that [causes] these patterns to occur.  Maybe it has something to [do with] us humans also, that our subconscious in some way evokes these patterns. It is kind of not at all strange, I think, if our Consciousness makes crop circles," she told Nettavisen. 
 
[The] Crop Circle is located [on] a very steep slope in the field, and the ring had a width of approximately one-and-a-half meters. 
 
"This is the first corn circle discovered in Norway this year", says Brekkestø. 
 
In total, according to the expert, [this is the thirty-first] corn circle which [has been documented] in Norway.  Worldwide, [there have been documented] about 12,000 circles from the 1500s until today. 
 
"But [these are] only the ones reported.  How many there [have been in total], we have no idea," she says finally. 
 
Thanks to Lene Kjølberg for the image, and Eva-Marie Brekkestrø for her mailing list notification to me about this new Formation!  thanks to Google for the translation!  and many thanks, as always, to Mark, Stuart, and The Crop Circle Connector for sharing these images and information with the world ...
