A mysterious crop circle in Bavaria has attracted thousands of visitors since it was spotted in a wheat field last week.
The circle in Raisting, upper Bavaria, has a diameter of 75 metres and is formed of three rings.
It was discovered last week by hot air balloonists and word quickly spread through internet forums of the find.
“They sang, danced, played guitar... and slept in the field,” a woman who lives nearby said of the area’s new visitors to the site, the Süddeutsche Zeitung reported.
Many visitors believe it was not formed by humans.
“This is a technology which we haven’t mastered yet," said one visitor to the newspaper. “They want to show us – we are here, we love you.”
The crop circle is near the antennas of a former communication station which was used to broadcast the first moon landing in 1969 to European households.
Christop Huttner, the farmer who owns the field, said he had not created the crop circle.
“This is very difficult [to do] and really well done,” he said. “I don’t know how they managed it. There are no tyre tracks, nothing at all.”
He said the damage to the crops had cost him a few hundred euros.
There’s a guy who makes incredible sand pictures on the beach, much more elaborate. If only he had a sense of humor he would do it at night on deserted beaches.
doing it at night would be the hard part
Not ssaying aliens are doing them, only that some are unexplained.
It's been done.
oh its easy to skirt detection, when you are the owner of the land, lol. He is probably making a bundle this week from all those air heads. Elaborate patterns in circular form are easy to make. Take a rope spiked to the radii point, then merely walk in a circle. And a few other techniques to make the interior cuts - all well known to those of us who have participated in such pranks before.
End of Story.
Wow! Look at her huge pair of...
Aw, forget it.

Don’t have any idea.. When I was little I opened my eyes and here I was!
