Was it aliens or pranksters in MN farm fields?

That's the question being pondered by folks around Fosston, Minnesota.

Crop circles have appeared in two different wheat fields in the northwestern Minnesota community.

It happened along a lonely stretch of highway 24, six miles east of Fosston Saturday night.

"Well, the cattle were bellering quite a bit. Other than that... no," said Dean Sorgaard, a local farmer.

Sorgaard found this crop circle in his wheat field early Sunday morning.

The circles are about 80 feet across.

In some of the rings the wheat is trampled down clockwise and others are counterclockwise.

Local residents don't know who made the mysterious design aliens or pranksters.

"I don't know... ha! No evidence to say either one," said Dean Sorgaard.

Four miles east, there's another crop circle in a wheat field.

Orville Borchardt , who lives near some of the circles, believes kids made the circles.

But Borchardt says he can't figure out how they had enough time to finish it.

So while no one has any conclusive evidence yet as to the crop circles origins it certainly has given people something to talk about on a hot, summer day.
