Madisonville (WVLT) - Man-made or alien-aligned? For the second time in two years, a crop circle's appeared in Monroe County.

Volunteer TV's Mike McCarthy's walked the crop circle.

Does anyone know what made this? Not just yet, but everyone has their own theory. This new designs just down the road from the first crop circle. That appeared last May also in a wheat field. Neighbors say whoever, or whatever did it worked quickly and quietly.

Beyond still-standing blades, there are others pushed in a perfect pattern.

"I don't know whether it's man-made or not," resident Johnnie Helm said.

It's the second Monroe County Crop Circle in two years. These lines and curves appeared in Johnnie Helm's 50-acre wheat field Monday morning.

"I didn't hear nothing. And I'm up and down all night," Helm said.

Her neighbor, Jean Merrell first spotted the bent blades.

"I always look out the window, and I thought, my goodness, what's in the field? What's happened?" resident Jean Merrell said.

The "what"? Well, the crushed crops form a triangle. At each corner a pair of circles, but "how" and "who" wilted the wheat is a crop quandary.

"I really don't think it's man-made. I don't believe anyone could do that, that quick and so perfect," Merrell said.

These thin lines are the only paths in and out. Helms says they're from crop fertilization and they've been here months. The new field phenomena's less than a half mile from last May's Crop Circle just outside Madisonville. Investigators ruled that design "non man-made." Crop circle researches came to investigate last year's design. As for this one, they want to come back.

"They'd have to be very careful, cause I ain't talked to the man I rent it to," Helm said.

For now the rows of curved crops inspire...

"I think it's something fantastic myself," Merrell said.

...Not scare.

"If it's aliens and they want me, they'll come and get me. Will you put up a fight? No. Why? I'll talk to them. What if you don't speak Alien? They better speak English," Helm said.

And Helm wants to know...why her backyard?

Investigators with the independent crop circle researchers organizations plan to scientifically test this design next week, but they still have to get helm's permission.
We've haven't revealed the exact location on purpose. Her land's private property. She doesn't want strangers trampling the crops. So public visits are off-limits, for now.

Im not sure if i believe in aliens. but as for the crop circles.... they are gorgeous! I dont believe that a person could make something like that, that perfect. Without taking ALOT of time to do so. U would have to have access to a helicopter or small plane so u could fly over top of the field...look down to see ur work, then back on the ground and continue. that would be VERY time consuming. so NO i dont think humans do these crop circles. They are amazing, unique, & maybe a way of trying to communicate. If only our lovely government would pay attention. which i think they do, they just dont want americans to know. maybe if they found a way to communicate with the other beings... they could help us solve world hunger, make peace, and everybody would live comfortably. But who knows.....

what does it point towards? it looks more like an arrow due to the cut in the middle of the triangle.
