A region already rampant with rumor and speculation, asrecently alleged in the Adams County People's Defender newspaper, has beendealt another blast of mystery and intrigue. A new crop formation foundsouthwest of the small town of West Union has residents and other observerswondering aloud if Southern Ohio is "ground zero" for mystery and strangeness.
Crop Circle investigator Jeffrey Wilson states: "Grounddescriptions of the formation is that there are at least six circles (possiblymore) in soybeans; one circle has a ring with 3 straight pathways extendingoff it. The description of the floor lay in the circles was thatit was impressive. Also, there may be two circular areas that lookto have been swirled down only about halfway - not all the way to the ground. The total size of the formation appears to smaller than the Locust Groveor Bainbridge formations, but still quite large."
Wilson adds that the farmer is planning on harvestingthe field Tuesday and that his team comprised of Ted Robertson, Roger Sugdenand others, will be at the scene as soon as possible. His report will appearat https://www.cropcirclenews.com

The undeniable upsurge of UFO and crop circle reportshave flummoxed the few and unfunded UFO researchers who try to track anddocument the many claims. Will the challenge of UFO investigation revealevidence of UFO visitation, and will the spate of sighting activity continueto befuddle a region already tender from its share of unusual activity?Perhaps only time will tell.
