The whole article (Page 1):
“Farmer James Lawson doesn’t know what made the
perfect 50-foot circle in his cornfield, but he’s not ruling out the possibility
that it was an alien being.
The corn stalks are flattened in neat rows in
clockwise swirl, hidden from the nearest intersection but visible from inside
the field.
The phenomenon is common in Britian, with hundreds of
such incidents reported in recent years. Crop circle reports have also come in
from the Soviet Union, Japan
and New England.
‘I was just making my first trip (on a combine)
through the field,’ Lawson said . ‘The first thing I thought of was a UFO.
‘I thought ‘holy smokes, what is this?’ ’
‘It feels weird. There’s no road coming in,’ said
Lawson, 70. ‘It could have been here quite a while, but the ears are still on
the stalks. Maybe it’s been a month or so.’
‘When I went in to tell my wife, she didn’t believe
me,’ Lawson said. ‘She said, ‘You're goofy.’ ’
Lawson has farmed for 42 years and although he did not
think the crop circle is a hoax, he wasn’t quite ready to accept the UFO
theory.
‘It couldn’t have been the wind because the dike would
have stopped it. And it’s a perfect circle. The stalks are mashed in perfect
rows,’ he said. ‘Maybe it was a UFO that made the circle when it landed and
then took off.’
Other explanations from around the world range from
the landing pods to crazed hedgehogs to a freak natural event.
Lawson said he would leave the circle alone and
harvest around it.
‘l think people would be interested,’ he said. ‘Who
knows who might want to come and see this?’ ”
The photo text:
“James Lawson of rural Milan, Illinois,
stands on the ladder of his combine in front of the mysterious circle of
flattened corn he found in his field while harvesting Tuesday. The circle is a
perfect 46 1/2-foot in diameter and had no sign or evidence of cutting or
humans in the circle area.”
