Crop Circles Appear in Russian Wheat Field
A drone has taken amazing footage of mysterious crop circles in Russia. The unexplained crop circles appeared in a wheat field in the Republic of Adygea over the weekend. According to The Moscow Times, local farmer Sergei Anisimov discovered six connected circles of different sizes in a relatively ordinary field. The circles that pressed wheat plants perfectly in a clockwise manner ranged from 22 to 42 feet in diameter.
Puzzled by the mysterious circles, local residents in southern Russia sent a drone to “investigate.” The footage captured by drone shows six rings in a field in the foothills of the Western Caucasus Mountains. The two biggest circles had completely flat wheat, while the smaller ones had untouched wheat standing in the center. The two largest circles also had 1½-foot-deep “crater” in the center, according to RT News.
Sergei Anisimov told the Interfax news agency that he drove by the field at 9 p.m. Saturday and did not see any circles. He returned at 5 a.m. Sunday and these rings were there. He added that the wheat field's security guards had not noticed any suspicious activity that night. Even though the patterns were discovered on Sunday, the aerial footage could not be taken at the time of discovery because of high winds.
Crop circles nothing new in Russia. Meanwhile, similar crop circles have been spotted in the village of Mirny in the Moscow region. In Mirny, two giant oval shapes and a 32-foot circle were discovered. Volunteers have collected soil samples to determine the origin of these circles. Appearance of such circles is nothing new in Russia. Similar markings appeared in a sunflower field in the Krasnodar region last year, which prompted locals to conclude that aliens must have paid a visit to Russia. In the past 10 years, crop circles have been spotted in the regions of Moscow, Adygea, Krasnodar, Shovgenovsky, Giaginsky and Maykop. But the circles remain a mystery. Many have cited electromagnetic radiation and aliens as possible causes, while others argue that the circles are manmade.
