Crop circles remain a mystery

Chuck Haga = Grand Forks=20 Herald
Published Tuesday, August 19,=20 2008

FOSSTON, Minn. =E2=80=94 Nobody = locally has claimed=20 responsibility. The curious trampled the sites to the point = where=20 even a crack TV criminologist couldn=E2=80=99t detect a = meaningful clue. And=20 there=E2=80=99s been nothing but silence so far from Mars, = Jupiter and=20 beyond.

So, the Fosston crop circles are blending back into the = grain on=20 ripening fields of wheat outside this eastern Polk County = town,=20 still a mystery =E2=80=94 and still capable of drawing the = occasional=20 tourist/UFO hunter.

=E2=80=9CThe restaurants did a good business,=E2=80=9D = Mayor Jim Offerdahl said=20 with a chuckle, and a gas station reported a brief but brisk = traffic=20 in people seeking gas and directions to the sites. =20

As one group of = visitors=20 enters a crop circle site, another group exits the = wheat field=20 Monday evening east of Fosston, Minn. Herald photo by = Eric=20 Hylden.

=E2=80=9CWe had people from=20 Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska =E2=80=94 all over =E2=80=94 = stopping to get directions,=E2=80=9D=20 said Jim Sears, owner of the Quick Stop of Fosston. = =E2=80=9CI don=E2=80=99t think=20 they came here for that express purpose; they just happened = to be in=20 the area and heard about it. But we were busy.=E2=80=9D

The unusual designs appeared in area wheat fields the = last=20 weekend in July, preceded by late-night reports of frenzied = dogs and=20 bellowing cattle.

No arrests made

A Polk County deputy sheriff checked out the reports of = damage to=20 property, a records clerk said Monday, but no arrests have = been made=20 and the case has been marked inactive. It could be reopened, = she=20 said, if new leads come in.

Offerdahl was one of the first people to inspect the = circles on=20 Dean Sorgaard=E2=80=99s farm about six miles northeast of = Fosston.

=E2=80=9CI=E2=80=99m no expert,=E2=80=9D the mayor said = the next day, =E2=80=9Cbut either=20 somebody was out having some fun or we were visited by = someone from=20 another galaxy.=E2=80=9D

Three weeks later, he seems inclined to believe the = =E2=80=9Cwheat=20 graffiti=E2=80=9D was left by pranksters =E2=80=94 of this = world but probably not of=20 the area.

=E2=80=9CThere=E2=80=99s not even any gossip going around = about who did it, and=20 that tells me it probably wasn=E2=80=99t local = kids,=E2=80=9D Offerdahl said. =E2=80=9CYou=E2=80=99d=20 think they=E2=80=99d be bragging about it, but there = hasn=E2=80=99t been one whisper=20 along that line.

The initial reports attracted considerable media = attention, and=20 Offerdahl =E2=80=94 who works as an engineer at a Fosston = radio station =E2=80=94=20 said that he responded to queries from stations around the=20 country.

He also heard from several =E2=80=9Ccroppies=E2=80=9D = =E2=80=94 professional crop circle=20 investigators =E2=80=94 including Nancy Talbott of the BLT = Research Team in=20 Cambridge, Mass., who sent an investigator to Fosston and = also=20 studied ground and aerial photographs of the sites.

Talbott=E2=80=99s initial reaction was skepticism; the = ground photos and=20 descriptions caused her to lean toward local pranksters as = the=20 cause. But the aerial photos gave her pause, suggesting as = they did=20 a more nuanced design than amateurs might achieve.

In an e-mail, she also cautioned =E2=80=9Cthat there have = been several=20 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed scientific = journals=20 that suggest other possible explanations for the crop circle = phenomenon than =E2=80=98aliens=E2=80=99 or = pranksters.=E2=80=9D

After examining crop circles in 15 countries since the = early=20 1990s, the researchers have consistently found = =E2=80=9Ccertain plant and=20 soil abnormalities,=E2=80=9D she wrote, =E2=80=9Cmost of = which indicate exposure of=20 the plants and soils to microwave radiation, unusual = electrical=20 pulses and strong magnetic fields.=E2=80=9D

Skepdic.com, an Internet Web site that seeks to debunk = popular=20 myths and legends, maintains that most crop circles are = hoaxes. Two=20 men have admitted to staging more than 250 circles over = several=20 years, according to the site.

But there are true believers who see crop circles as = messages or=20 signs left by aliens or their spacecraft. =E2=80=9CSome = maintain that the=20 aliens are trying to communicate with us using ancient = Sumerian=20 symbols or symbolic representations of alien DNA,=E2=80=9D = according to=20 Skepdic.com.

Investigators from two other organizations, Mutual UFO = Network=20 and the International Crop Circle Research Association, told = The=20 Thirteen Towns newspaper in Fosston that they believe the = circles in=20 Sorgaard=E2=80=99s field and another design a few miles away = were created by=20 humans.

One of the investigators =E2=80=9Cwas emphatic that no = UFOs were involved=20 at either site,=E2=80=9D the newspaper reported.
