Indonesia’s first crop circles have appeared -- and locals call it evidence of alien life.
Found in a rice field in a hamlet of Sleman, Yogyakarta, the crop circle consists of triangles and circles with a diameter of about 70 meters. While some observes say the shapes are manmade, local scientists and government officials are struggling for a concrete explanation, leaving UFO enthusiasts murmuring of extraterrestrials.
"According to several residents, they saw a tornado on Saturday evening," said Ngadiran, one of six farmers who owns the land in Sleman. "On Sunday afternoon, we saw the footprint in our fields."
The pattern was first reported by a farmer, Tukiman, on Sunday at 6 a.m. His story drew hordes of people, causing heavy traffic congestion in the region. Enthusiastic locals all seem to have their own theory on the genesis of the mysterious occurrence.

So Aliens, with the ability to fly all the way here, find nothing better to do than ruin perfectly good crops with Spirograph graffiti?
Hey, ET?? We cant read this! Try harder!
Looks like someone got a bit drunk and went on a joyride with the tractor.
Sure, all those Indonesian scientists and govt offficials are obviously stupid, not to mention the farmers who reported the whirlwind.
Those lads from the pubs dragging chains behind tractors to get their jollies confusing peoople- have finally made it to Indonesia
Why not cereal dwarfs or rice elves? Satyrs with a fixation for staple grains? Ghosts who played with Spirographs when they were little mortal children? Leprechauns with way too much time on their hands?
Wait--I get it: it's because dwarfs, satyrs, elves, ghosts and leprechauns are all mythological, whereas aliens are scientific!
The most important question is: Are the stalks lying in a position that would prove the winds were blowing in the direction that a tornado spins? If not, we got problems!

Those kids need a lot more practice in order to catch up with the English circle makers.
