One day back in the mid-70's when I was driving a tractor on the family farm in Tennessee I happened apone a strange, perfectly circular indentation in one of our wheat fields. This was maybe twenty years before I ever heard of a "crop circle".

I recall turning around and bringing the tractor alongside to stop and ponder it for a few minutes - and if you knew about my dad's "sunny dispostion" you'd know that taking a break was a very *rare* occurance.

Since that day I've walked in many interesting and secret places - the hallways of NASA - inside nuclear bunkers - but never since have seen anything as completely strange as that one simple circle.

Thanks for the info. Shows that not all of these have been occurring since the circles became the rage.
