Note that at the first Midale formation, the ringed circle ends
abruptly at the edge of the field, being "shaved off".
Preliminary Report - September 16
By Paul Anderson
Another crop circle formation was reported to CPR-Canada on Tuesday, September 14; it is located near Midale, Saskatchewan,
where three formations were also reported last year.
A grouping of two simple circles, another circle with a surrounding ring, and a larger circle similar to a "medicine wheel" (a
Native Indian symbol), with "curved pathways" crossing through it, in the same wheat field.
Initially reported August 14 by Sylvia MacBean, a reporter with the Leader Post newspaper in Regina, Saskatchewan. Story with aerial
photo in the August 15 edition of the paper. Formation found on August 6 (farmer's name and
location withheld by request at this point). Farmer described no damage to the crop, with all
formations perfectly flattened down to the ground, with no signs of entry pathways, etc. Formations and the entire field have been
left intact and will be sampled this week for the BLT Research Team. According to Jeff Rudichuk, CPR-Saskatchewan
coordinator, a radiation physicist will also be at the site in the next day or two to measure
with a Geiger counter and complete soil testing.
Field report, images when available.
This is the tenth formation reported now for this year.
