Beyond still standing 1 blades lies others pushed in a perfect pattern.


“I don’t know whether it’s man-made or not”


It’s the second Monroe County crop circle in 2 years, these lines and curves appeared in Johnnie Helm’s 50-acre wheat field Monday morning, “I did hear nothing , and I am not deaf right now“.


 Her neighbor, Jean Merrell, first spotted 2 the bend blades.


“I Always look out the window, you know, I looked at that, and I thought,  my gosh!, what’s in that field, what’s happened?”


Though what you can’t see, crushed crop form a triangle at each corner  a parallels circles, but how and who wilted 3 the wheat a crop quandary 4?


“I really don’t think it’s man-made, I don’t believe man can do that, that quick and get everything so perfect”


These thin lines are the only paths in and out of the corps 5 circle. Helm says they are from the corps’ fertilization and they’ve been here months. The new field phenomenon, less than a half mile from the last May’s crop circle, just outside the Madison field, investigators 6 ruled that designs "non-manmade". Crop circle researchers came to investigate last year’s design and as for this one they wanna come back.


“When they detect them, they’re very careful, cos I've talked to the men that I rarely told ”


For now, the rows of curved crops inspire, “I think it’s something fantastic, myself…”not scared


“If it’s aliens, I want them to come and get me”


“Are you going to put up a fight if they come?”


“No”


“Why not?”


“I’ll talk to them”


“What if you don’t’ speak alien?”


“Well, They’d better speak English”


And Helm wants to know --Why her backyard?
