A large circle and geometric pattern local residents say were created by a UFO have been found in a rice field in Krasakan hamlet in Sleman, Yogyakarta.

The pattern includes a triangle and two smaller circles in the middle of the large circle, which has a diameter of between 25 and 30 meters, tempointeraktif.com reported Monday.

“The circles were there since yesterday morning. I think they were left by an alien space ship, like one I saw in TV,” Krasakan resident Cahyo Utomo said Monday.

“It is impossible that this was were made by the wind or any animal,” he added.

The circles and triangle in the rice paddy next to a residential area look resemble a geometric artwork, while the other parts of the field remain intact.

The crop circles were first reported by a farmer, Tukiman, on Sunday at 6 a.m.

Sleman Police chief Adj.Sr.Com. Iwan Ramaini said he was not sure if the circles were created by a UFO or if it was a natural phenomenon. A police investigation is underway.

UFO가 논에 착륙했다? 신비한 ‘크롭 서클’ 논란

인도네시아 자바섬에 위치한 한적한 농촌마을에서 한 농부가 23일 일요일 아침 6시 (현지시간) 논에 기하학적인 무늬가 있는 것을 목격하고 경찰에 신고했다.

인도네시아 일간지 자카르타 포스트가 이 사건을 보도 한후 많은 사람들이 이 '크롭 서클 (crop circle)'의 원인을 분석하고 있는데 일각에선 외계인 출현설을 제기하고 있다. 전날밤까지 이상이 없던 논은 밤새 신비한 문양이 나타난 것은 UFO 착륙으로 설명할 수 밖에 없다는 의견이 우세하다.

'크롭 서클(crop circle)'란 밭이나 논의 곡물이 일정한 방향으로 눕혀져 기하학적인 모습을 나타내는 현상으로, 이유를 알 수 없어 ‘미스터리 서클’로 불리기도 한다. '크롭 서클'은 1946년 영국에서 처음 목격된 이후 미국 등 세계 곳곳에서 발견돼 관심을 모아왔다.
