Crop Circles-UFO's-Ancient Mysteries-Scientific Speculations


Crop circle appears in field near Alnwick

Motorists, cyclists or walkers heading south from Alnmouth towards Warkworth may have spotted what could be evidence  of visitors from another world as two crop circles or  markings have appeared in fields. In one, a circular shape can be clearly seen and the other  is a more random arrangement, both in a field of ripened  crops.But in the past, crop circles in north Northumberland have been branded ‘vandalism’ and the cost to farmers has been  counted. Northumberland Estates confirmed that people had been seen
making the circles in the field on August 19, 2011.

There had been much speculation about the artistic creation  in a field near Hawkhill, between Alnwick and Alnmouth, on  land belonging to the Estates’ Percy Farms. At the time, a National Farmers’ Union spokesman said:  “It’s trespass, it’s vandalism, it’s stealing, it’s  whatever you want to call it, it’s breaking the law. “That area won’t be able to be combined and harvested and  if it’s on about an acre of land, at about three or four  tonnes an acre at £150 or £160 each tonne, that’s £500, so  it’s a costly thing. “If someone broke windows to that amount, they would be in  trouble. People have been locked up for doing far less in  the riots. “People may say that it’s the Duke’s land and he can afford  it, but can they? And it happens to small farms as well,  it’s just stupidity.
“They are stealing because they are taking money away from  that farm. It doesn’t only happen to the big landowners.  What about the guy next door with 100 acres?”

A spokeswoman for the Northumberland Estates said: “While  some might see it as an amusing prank, it is in fact  vandalism which has resulted in part of a wheat crop being destroyed and wildlife being disturbed at a time when many birds and animals are busy rearing their young.”
