Crop Circles in German Field Draw Thousands in Crowds

Crop circles are attracting thousands of visitors to a wheat field in Germany to see the mysterious, ornate designs.

Christoph Huttner, who owns the field, said he didn’t make the circles himself, but he thinks students on summer vacation may be responsible, The Associated Press reported.

The 246-foot crop circles were discovered by a hot air balloonist.

Crop circles also have appeared in England and Southern Russia in the past two weeks.

On July 14, a 400-foot crop circle appeared overnight in Dorset, England. A Russian sunflower field was the next site of crop circle, which appeared on July 17.

Theories about the origins of crop circles have ranged from aliens, hedgehogs, unusual wind patterns, and invisible energy fields since they first appeared in England in the 1970s.

Most people on Twitter weren't too impressed.

Obviously aliens. #occamsrazor RT @CBCNews: Crop circles pique curiosity at German farm http://t.co/FDqyig4cIG pic.twitter.com/BEnR7G7i9I”
