The Linbak family at Elton farm close to Raufoss got quite a surprise when they woke up yesterday. (22.8.95). In the middle of their grain field there was a 100 meters long circular pattern that had not been there the previous day.
Gerd Ellen Linbak lives on the farm that is located only 100 meters from the mysterious circles in the field. She was up late the night before, but did not hear anything suspicious.
- Hopefully it is people that have made the pattern, she says to Norwegian TV station NRK. As far as she knows there was no social gatherings in the neighbourhood yesterday. - Those who made this must have worked good and used a lot of force in order to lay the field down in this manner, she claims.
During the course of the day the rings have been visited by many interested locals. The rings are completely symmetrical and the grain in and outside the rings are completely undamaged. The grain that has been put down is broken all they way down at the root.
The farmer himself, Arne Linbak, has no idea what can have happened out in his field this night. The Police at Gjovik was not contacted by any nervous locals yesterday.

The article is accompanied by an aerial picture showing 3 rings connected by a straight line. Too me they look symetrical, but not perfect.
Norwegian TV news reported the incident yesterday evening.
