UFO adds to circle puzzle.

CROP circle watchers are investigating links between a mysterious new crop pattern and Unidentified Flying Objects. The pattern below Cherhill white horse, near Calne, consists of a number of circles, half circles and corridors. It appeared on Saturday night. A Dutch-American team with a camcorder and tripod has been looking at the weird pattern which it believes may be linked to a UFO incident it claims to have filmed earlier the same night near Marlborough.

The enthusiasts are now appealing to local farmers to allow them to leave messages in harvested cornfields or display strings of coloured lights to help them communicate with what they believe to be an alien force. Police were called to the scene at 7pm on Sunday when hoaxers were reported to be making circles, but the 'criminals' turned out to be a team studying the pictogram.

Now Americans Eric Beckford and Joan DeNeve have set up Operation Magpie at Wessington Park in Calne and are to spend the next week continuing the search for UFOs. Flying officer Simon Cree, of RAF Lyneham, says an exercise just drawing to a close over Salisbury Plain might explain the phenomenon. "It involved a lot of Hercules flying at night and making light configurations," he says.
