What a sight to see. According to AP, thousands of curious onlookers are flocking to central Indonesia to look at the facture which looks like an intricately designed flower following rumors it was formed by a UFO. Full story here.

A large circle and geometric pattern believed to be created by a UFO have been found in a rice field in Krasakan hamlet in Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia Jan. 24. Indonesian Air Force chief Marshall Imam Sufaat on Monday instructed his staff to use a helicopter to take aerial photographs of crop circles discovered on Sunday in Krasakan hamlet, Sleman, with residents alleging them to be traces of a UFO. The crop circles are in a paddy field and resemble a geometric artwork, while the other parts of the field remain untouched.


I've seen a lot of crop circles that are much cleaner than that one and it's too much of a coincidence that its a flower in Indonesia. Not saying I believe in crop circs but this is a poor example.
these crop circles,are beautiful and generate a lot of excitment,which is a good thing.They are not formed by UFO's,just a few hundred feet of twine,rope and a few boards,etc a few friends,couple cases of beer and your good to go
im sure mathmaticians are really precise on measurements when they are drunk... c'mon a better than average person can not produce the geometric layouts of these crop circles so what makes you think that a bunch of drunken hillbilles can ??
So Thomas, you're saying that drunks have, for several centuries, been taking their boards and twine into food crops the world over, just so folks like you can make uninformed statements about their precise drunken results? Really? Now, as for this particular formation, I reserve my opinion as to the manner in which it was formed until I hear if the Indonesian air force or other qualified investigators have tested for the electromagnetic anomalies associated with the crop circles formed by unknown forces.
Most of the crop circle was photographed from Air and the Ariel view always make the crop circle clean. In this case when the aerial photograph is released it may look clean. for the comment from Thomas, can you ever imagine in populated area without anyone attention how come this crop circle had been formed with every thing you mentioned especially with beer. Open you eyes
These are done by satellite. WAKE UP!!!
if you can prove that these crop circles are man made then please be my guest , enlighten me with your theories........
@ Ella1111 You know what a satellite is? you are an idiot people...You research what a satellite it...
Interesting crop circle but unproven. Real circles have common characteristics 1) No GPS readings possible inside or shortly outside of the circle. 2) Seed nodules appear to be exploded and/or subject to microwave like effects. 3) Iron particles are in uncommon patterns and appear to have disrupted by strong magnetic field.
If these aren't present then the circle is most likely somebody's hoax and a piece of artwork. My best,
im shocked at such few responses on this article, this is certainly a sign and needs to be read into deeply. i am of the belief that 2011 is the year disclosure will be upon us and noone of any type will have to question as to if we are alone. something of a grand scale is soon aproaching and much awareness should be upheld. i am not a dooms day follower but have been adding all the clues to biblical,tribal,and other prophecy along with the recorded history as far back as 2000 years, and it all adds up to a megalific event that is very very near. watch around the various sites as more and more sightings will continue to show and alot will go under or un-reported in the major media outlets.
Christians on the watch are expecting the Rapture this yr as prophesied in the HOly Bible
This crop circle appeared in Yogyakarta. In October of last year, Mount Merapi, also located in Yogyakarta, had it's biggest eruption in over 100 years. A few days after the volcano, outside of Yogyakarta but still located in Indonesia, a 7.7 earthquake triggered a tsunami. In 2004, Indonesia experienced the biggest tsunami EVER after a 9.15 earthquake.
I want to know what bums have enough time to travel to Indonesian farm country and create this. None of the locals have the technology, know-how, or time (farmers aren't slackers) Also, if it is obviously man made, why has it been roped off and locals not allowed to come near? Why have we not seen any clear pictures published from the Air Force fly-overs? We can have pictures available over-night of major celebrities shopping, but not of a crop circle that has people buzzing? Why was the National Atomic Energy Agency and Air Force called in if it was "obviously man made". I mean wouldn't it be...obvious, would we really need their expertice? Why are all the reasons for it's "man-made" nature only put in print; why don't they post pictures of this evidence?
Local farmers who work the fields say [and we all know that they are just ignorant rednecks looking for t.v. fame... (crickets chirp)] they heard low rumblings in the sky for about 20-30 minutes early that morning and assumed it was helicopters, but when the sun came up, the obviously man made crop circle was there.
Seriously. Are we *still* trying to sweep this kind of stuff under the rug? What is this, 1947?
Aliens and UFOs are real, here, and actively interacting. : )
Original crop circles are what the name imply large round circles of depressed or swirl grass, wheat, etc what ever was growing at the time the craft landed. There is always some trace evidence left, at these spots. The new breed of crop circles complicated patterns etc are not made by aliens but regular people with to much time on there hands.
One more thing. When vandals (and I assume, if it is man made, this falls under the category of vandalism) deface private/public property, you don't see yellow tape, nuclear physicists, gov. officials, and the Air Force involved. Just a thought.
Quite possibly. I have actually seen some of these hoax "crop circles" on the web and they look like they were made by drunks with lawn mowers! HA!
However, there has been scientific research done proving that a lot of these formations give indications of very strange, if not paranormal origins. Just do a google, youtube, or hulu search on the subject and you'll be sure to find plenty of legit, unbiased documentaries on the subject proving that a large percentage of these formations are not man made, and remain unexplained.
I realize that with GPS technology, plenty of prep time, a large team of people, and the proper tools, it can be done, but I don't understand the purpose of faking it.
It just seems highly unlikely in this instance, in my opinion. Too rural of an area that has NEVER experienced anything like this before, too coincidentally close to Merapi, too glazed over with print that we are supposed to accept at face value, no solid pictures from the air, and the involvement of highly trained specialists that leads me to believe SOMEONE was worried that it WAS left by something "unexplainable".
It may seem a bit silly, and I know people have been making claims that "this'll be the year for disclosure" since the mid 90's, but I really feel that with the advent of social media, and hand held gadgets equipped with cameras, the "UFO & Alien" phenomenon will be accepted soon, as the occurrences will be too frequent and too well documented to ignore.
Time will tell, no need to argue. Much Love

Many of the crop circles found around the world appear within short periods of time and often in complete darkness making it difficult for ordinary humans without massive equipment to accomplish. The aliens want to provide a sign of their presence without explicitly saying so. They would rather that the explicit announcement be made by governments to avoid any panic. The governments have already been contacted for this reason - see ufocoverup.org for more info
if everyone thinks crop circles are man made why doesnt anyone know what they are how its done and why do governments stay so silent why has nobody ever been seen making them too many questions with no answers or maybe im just ill informed
to my way of thinking the governement keep their silence in the hope that we will see it as someone playing tricks but their silence is having the opposite effect its too silent if anyone gets what im saying see ya
