- Description: A local turkey hunter, working the edges
of a remote corn field NW of Harrisburg, discovered an unusual flattened
ring which abutted one edge of the field. The flattened ring was 30 ft.
(rough measure) wide, with a 30 ft. standing center, making the overall
diameter approximately 90 ft. The hunter also reports a "path"
off to one side, which looked to him to be part of the overall event.
The corn plants were all laid counter-clockwise and, from the photos provided,
the lay of the crop appears to be typical of that seen in many crop circles;
multiple corn stalks were also observed to be either cut, or broken off,
at the 2nd or 3rd node from the bottom, in spite of the hunter's assertion
that he saw no "cut" stems. The photos did not make it possible
to examine the "path," but we are told it was perhaps 6-8 ft.
long. No high-power electric lines are reported near the field, but a
creek does run next to it.

- The hunter, who hunts this very remote property with
permission from the landowner, stated that the owner generally does not
grant access to his property. However, a local MUFON investigator did
visit the site and reported that he could find no evidence of radioactivity.
No compass work was carried out and no examination of the plant stem nodes
was made; no samples were taken.

- Without on-site examination, sampling and lab testing
it is impossible to know whether this flattened corn ring was man-made;
but the height of the corn plants, the fairly typical spiral crop lay,
the unusual width of the flattened ring, and the extreme remoteness of
the property suggest otherwise.
