Reports of strange and elaborate formations in crop fields date back to the late 1600s, and the phenomena known as crop circles continues to fascinate and bewilder, all these years later. Are they the work of humans, or are extraterrestrial beings responsible for the incredible artistry? This is a question that we will perhaps never truly know the answer to, and one that is being raised over in California this week.
While flying over a field in Salinas, California this past Monday, aerial photographer Julie Belanger noticed intricate patterns on the land below, and snapped several photographs of what many believe to be the work of the little green guys. The circular pattern is massive in size, spanning an entire acre, and many of the crops on the farm were destroyed by its creation, reports ABC News.
Where this story gets really interesting is when you watch a video uploaded onto YouTube on December 30th, which shows two friends driving down the road, and capturing several flashes of strange green lights. How does this relate to the story about the crop circle? The video was filmed in the early morning hours of this past Monday... in Salinas, California.
Check out the video below, which also shows the two friends discovering the field of damaged crops. Could this truly be the work of alien beings? We'll let you decide!
