CORN CIRCLES MYSTERY DEEPENS
|
|
Rings appear on dege of city
|

The mystery of the corn circles deepened today after four huge rings appeared in fields on the edge of Peterborough.
|
|
The perfectly formed rings-up to 100 metres across-have baffled fliers at Sibson aerodrome who spotted them.
|
|
The fields of ripe wheat were untouched on Monday night-but the strange circular patterns materialised in the crops in just 48 hours afterwards.
|
|
The Meacock family who run the Peterborough Parachute Centre live on the airfield and heard nothing during the nights they appeared.
|
|
Alex Meacock was one of the first to examine the rings close up and does not think they are the work of hoaxers.
|
|
"We would have seen them or heard them. "These things are not small. It would have taken an army hours to make them," he said.
|
|
The smallest pattern is made of two concentric circles-but the flattened corn in the 30 metre outer circle is lying clockwise and inside the broader inner ring the stalks are anti-clockwise.
|
|
The huge rings in a nearby field are up to three times as large. One is two more concentric circles. The other is one large ring with two spiral patches inside.
|
|
One of the ring fields has a history of wind turbulence-blamed by some scientists for the rings all over the country-but the air over the other sites is usually calm.
|
|
The Meacocks have never seen rings like this before and have videoed them from the air before the combine harvesters wipe them out for ever.
