Michigan Crop Circles Likely a Prank - Fri Aug 30, 8:44 AM ET By The Associated Press

Pranksters — not aliens — are likely to blame for crop circles that appeared in an Eaton County cornfield this week, local officials said.

Eaton County Sheriff Rick Jones said the circles are similar to those in the hit movie "Signs," where aliens create massive geometric markings in a cornfield.

One circle is almost 100 feet wide. There are no tire tracks, the corn was simply bent. Jones said less than an acre of corn had been damaged.

"Farmers can lose large amounts of a crop due to such nonsense," he told the Lansing State Journal for Thursday's editions. "I realize it's been a No. 1 movie ... but destruction of property is a crime."

Anyone caught damaging a field could face up to 90 days in jail and would have to pay for the lost crops, Jones said.

It's the second time this month that crop circles have appeared in Eaton County fields, he said.

I think is Osama doing it... toying with us.
