Teens find crop circle in Nebraska

WAVERLY, Neb., July 12 (UPI) _ Nick Bartlett and B.J. Kruse, both 15,
say what they found when they investigated some suspicious depressions
in a wheat field south of Waverly amazed them.

The two told the Lincoln Journal Star that they found perfectly shaped
crop circles.

Bartlett said, ``I couldn't believe how perfect the circles were.''

No one, including Bartlett and Kruse, is suggesting the weird formation
was caused by a UFO but it certainly raises some puzzling questions.

Bartlett and Kruse say they didn't do it.

They say there were no tracks leading to the crop circle when they went
out Friday morning to investigate. Bartlett first noticed a depression
in the wheat field on July 6 and told Kruse about it. But both were out
of town for a few days so they didn't look into it immediately.

The teenagers described the configuration as a big ``F,'' or a big key.
The largest circle is about 40 feet in diameter and the smaller one is
about half that size. The crop circle is just off a dead end street.

Crop circles are unexplained patterns in crop fields. They first began
appearing regularly in southern England around 1978 and more recently in
the United States. A year ago, a large crop circle was discovered in a
barley field in Boyd County near the South Dakota/Nebraska border.

Although some people speculate the circles are the imprints left by
alien landing craft, more plausible explanations include human
pranksters and a natural phenomena called ion plasma vortices, which are
brief, intense flashes of microwave energy that are drawn toward the
Earth by magnetic fields.
