FOSSTON, Minn. — The first reports of something amiss in the wheat fields east of here came early Sunday from barking dogs and bawling cows, but no livestock is missing — no people, either — so locals seem inclined to doubt that alien spaceships made a stop at Dean Sorgaard’s place.
Still, after a UPS driver passing through the area relayed sightings of mysterious “crop circles” to Fosston Mayor Jim Offerdahl, the mayor drove out to check for himself.
“I’m no expert,” Offerdahl said, trying to sound both skeptical and open-minded, “but either somebody was out having some fun or we were visited by someone from another galaxy.”
Landowners in three locations within about 10 miles of Fosston reported finding circular depressions in wheat fields over the weekend, large, intricate and symmetrical patterns suggesting — or designed to suggest — the landing of alien spacecraft.
At the Sorgaard farm, about six miles east and a little north of Fosston, the largest circle in a steeply sloping field of wheat had a diameter of 150 to 200 feet. “Dead in the center, there’s a little circle, a hole, like they could have had a rod or something in the ground as their center point,” Offerdahl said.

It was a misprint. It was supposed to be a “crop circle jerk”.
I will start pouring the water too...but only if Mel promises to show up :)
Caused by liberal spin.
BS. Most crop circles are so elaborate and detail-oriented that it's virtually impossible for humans to do them, especially at night when these occur.
I don't think that. ;)
Alot happens here now, but it's usually not good stuff - Jesse Ventura, Al Franken, bridge collapse, Larry Craig........
It can't be space aliens either. In the dead of night they're all too busy giving humans rectal exams.
Anybody know where Dennis Kucinich was stumping this past week?
Just another Obama campaign trick.
I happen to know that in the very center of the circle was a rune stone.

“mysterious crap circles...”
a few of the pictograms observed in England...
Photomicrograph (100 X) of 10-40 micron diameter, spherical, magnetic particles of the type regularly found in crop circle soils. EDS reveals these spheres to be pure iron; the fact that they are magnetized reveals they were formed in a magnetic field.
