Mysterious Crop Circle Spotted in Salinas
NBC Bay Area ^ | Tuesday, Dec 31, 2013

Posted on 12/31/2013 9:35:46 AM PST by nickcarraway

Is it the work of aliens or practical jokers? An unusual creation has popped up on a farm just south of the Bay Area.

A giant crop circle has appeared on Chualar farm in Salinas, Calif.

Aerial photographer Julie Belanger spotted the crop circle as she was flying over the valley Monday morning.

Belanger took the photo you see here as well as this raw video.

"It was beautiful. Quite beautiful," Belanger told NBC affiliate KSBW. "I believe it's possible that aliens exist, but I don't know if they would bother making a crop circle to give us a message."

It’s more likely that it’s all part of publicity stunt. According to MontereyHerald.com, guards from a South Bay security company were on hand Monday morning on behalf of their client, whose identity they could not reveal.

Adding to the mystery is this YouTube video posted today by user “Cannot Say” of a couple of friends stumbling upon the crop circle before sunrise.

*** The real key is in how the plants lay down.***

No problem. We did the same in 1956 with alfalfa fields in Farmington NM.

And in Arkansas, a common storm can blow down a whole field of corn without breaking a stalk. It just leans them over.

Things like this are so common many people simply cannot believe it and have to come up with really weird ideas.

Do you believe that professional wrestling is real too?


It isn’t? ;-)

I confess that I never studied it much. This site has some interesting info refuting the “paranormally bent” stems:

He was looking for his home, and I guess he found it.

Has anyone actually been caught making these things? I’m just asking.

I cannot say.

Nice tag line. Coincidence? I think not!
