Tyhee Crop Circle |||| RETURN |||| Tyhee crop circle amuses farming couple By John O'Connell Idaho State Journal Writer POCATELLO - A local farmer out harvesting grain Saturday morning telephoned his wife and told her he had found something amazing in his field. When he asked her to bring the camera, she thought there was probably another moose in the field. Instead, he showed her the perfectly-formed 60-square-foot crop circle he discovered. The farming couple from the Tyhee area made the unusual discovery the morning after the box office premier of the movie Signs, which stars actor Mel Gibson. The movie deals with cosmic phenomena, including crop circles. But the couple, who asked not to be identified for fear of harassment, are sure their crop circle is not a sign of extra terrestrial intelligence, but rather an indication that local youths are extremely artistic and have a lot of time on their hands. "It was a perfect circle with a line up the middle and then half circles on each side. Then it had four swirls coming out of each end, almost the shape of an antenna coming out," she said. "I'd like to shake the hands of whoever did it, because they really did a good job." The creators of the crop circle, which her husband plowed over Saturday afternoon, pressed wheat down in the same direction without breaking the stems. Like the crop circle she witnessed in her field, the one she saw in the preview for the movie also has a line up the middle. "My daughter went out and walked through it, and she was mentioning how dimensional, how symmetric everything was," she said. "Obviously, a group of kids did this, but they did a good job." She said she was also impressed the pranksters left no visible trails from the road to the crop circle, especially since there is no easy access route to the location. She thought it was a shame her husband had to harvest the crop circle, but leaving it would have been a waste of grain.
