- Large crop circles with unbroken stems have mysteriously
appeared in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
-
- Residents of the small town of Conondale, west of Maleny,
say they are baffled by the large areas of flattened grass. Crop circle
enthusiast Chris White gave the complex designs an eight out of 10.
-
- "You can't imagine anyone faking these because the
seed heads would be broken and it doesn't look like it's been trampled
or crushed.
-
- "There were people in England who set out to do
a hoax . . . but even they couldn't fake it.
-
- "This definitely looks like the real thing."
-
- Retired teacher Kate Dash visited the circles on Ahern
Rd and said she doesn't believe the patterns are man-made. "I've been
to England to study crop circles for the last five years.
-
- "This looks authentic to me," Ms Dash said.
"The way the grass has been flattened is amazing and would be almost
impossible to do as the circles are beautifully symmetrical."
-
- Both crop circle enthusiasts said they had nothing to
do with making the circles, which are generally associated with UFOs.
-
- But the property's owner, who does not want to be named,
said there was a much simpler explanation for the crop circles. "It's
the wind creating a whirly-whirly. It spins around in the long grass and
that creates the circle," he said.
