A new crop circle has been reported by a group established to investigate UFO sightings in Indonesia.

Beta-UFO, set up in 1997, said the latest crop circle had appeared in a rice field in Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java.

“The locals didn’t know,” group member Julius Perdana told Detik.com on Monday. “We had to climb up a hill to see it [the crop circle] for ourselves.”

Julius said the crop circle was discovered three weeks ago but the group had only become aware of it on Sunday.

The news portal did not say how the group had been alerted to the find.

He said the crop circle — which fringe groups claim have extraterrestrial origins — was 90 meters long and 30 meters wide in some places and consisted of two circles topped with hexagons.

“There are no police lines or spectators,” Julius said.

He said the design differed from the previously discovered crop circle discovered in Sleman, Yogyakarta, but more closely resembled another discovered in Magelang, Central Java.

Beta-UFO had taken photos of the crop circle and would send them to researchers at Central Java’s Diponegoro University for further examination.

“We will wait for the researchers t0 say whether it is original or man-made,” Julius said.Beta-UFO, a community established in October 1997 to investigate UFO sightings in Indonesia, reported that a new crop circle has appeared in Cikarang, Bekasi, West Java.

“The locals didn't know. We had to climb up a hill to see it [the crop circle] by ourselves,” Julius Perdana, a member of the community told news portal Detik.com on Monday.

Beta-UFO learned about the crop circle on Sunday. After visiting the location, on a farm near Delta Mas housing complex in Cikarang, and talking to the land owner, the crop circle was first found three weeks ago.

According to Julius, the crop circle was 90 meters long and 30 meters wide. The land owner had cut several parts of the circle.

“There are no police lines or spectators,” Julius said, adding that the crop circle is different with the one previously found in Sleman, Yogyakarta but it resembled the one found in Magelang, Central Java. The circle in Bekasi consisted of two circles and a hexagon symbol on top of the circles.

Beta-UFO had taken photos of the circle and would send the photos to researchers at Central Java's Diponegoro University for further examination.

“We will wait what the researchers say whether it is original or man-made,” Julius said.

Crop Circle at Berbah, Yogyakarta: Stand Back Rod Rice

DiBalikBerita, 3 Feb 2011 (Google Translation)

"Whatever the word LAPAN (National Institute of Aeronautics and Space) or reporters. They say this (crop circles ) man-made, please, that's their right. But for residents, this may not manmade. With this registration form, and time (the construction) that while, at night, no way. When meeting with the police in dukuh, citizens have declared their stance, in our opinion this is not a man-made, "said Suhari, one resident told DiBalikBerita.

ruasnya and 1 normal stem from outside the CC

The same thing also disclosed Ayu, a resident whose house is about 25 meters from the crop circle(CC), the nearest house with CC. "Saturday night, residents hang out in front of my house, patrolling, came home at 3 am. There was no sign of anything. The next morning (01/23/2011) was found at 7.Keep how to make it? I even suspected journalists. He said, 'This is perhaps the make of people whose homes were closest. " If you can make , I mean these people smart . I am really tired of facing these questions. She thought that people make - make . "He said.

Several other residents also recalled their disappointment against LAPAN and journalists. LAPAN team just arrived on Tuesday, after 2 days in advance, through the media, was "sure" that the CC in Berbah is manmade. They also assume that some reporters already have their own conclusions, which refer to the official source statement (LAPAN) alone, and do not seriously explore the facts on the ground.

"The team of LAPAN coming, enter (tip) umbrella to the axis (center of the circle CC). When the umbrellas go easily, they conclude this because it is definitely man-made hole former stick (man made tool of CC with a stick and rope). Lha, it's rice fields fertile, friable soil, trampled or anything inserted would easily fit. They also say there are human footprints. This trail must exist because it was 2 days and have trampled the visitors, "added Kardi.

In addition, the central point of CC is indeed hollow. According to residents, on the first day was found, there is a visitor came and pulled a handful of rice stalks are still standing in the shaft, so there is a hole there. "I do not know what purpose," said Suhari. In fact, there is still the central point that rice can be shown that there is no hole there.

LAPAN attitude that has taken the decision even before looking into the location it can be "understood". Aviation and aerospace official institutions of any country would do the same when faced with this kind of phenomenon. Therefore, in England, where CC is most prevalent, serious study of CC is only done by private institutions (at least the results are published).

When DiBalikBerita visited the location and managed to get into CC, rice stalks fall down "swelling" in ruasnya and forming an angle of about 45 degrees, but not broken.

Figure 2 sticks on the side showing the "swelling" in ruasnya and 1 normal stem from outside the CC.

It has a similarity with corn stalks in the CC in Southern England (see picture corn stalks in "Scientific Facts about Crop Circle").

Meanwhile, rice stalks outside the CC does not show this - trunk segments straight.When the rice patang demolished with pressed or stepped on, no segment of "swell" or "explode" like that, but just broken.

All of rice straw in the CC there is nothing broken. The proof, which collapsed rods that are now starting to come back to his feet. Link to a video that shows it (02/03/2011).

Yogyakarta. Hundreds of curious visitors have flocked to a small rice field in central Java to witness what could be Indonesia’s first documented crop circle, an occurrence attributed by some to close encounters of the Alien kind.

Ngadiran, one of six farmers who owns the land in Slemen where the crop circle measuring 70 meters in diameter was found on Sunday afternoon, told the Jakarta Globe on Monday that he had not seen what had caused the distinctive pattern but others may have.

“According to several residents, they saw a tornado on Saturday evening. On Sunday afternoon, we saw the footprint in our fields,” Ngadiran said.

He would not say if he believed that an unidentified flying object (UFO) was behind the crop circle, which contains a number of symbols.

The farmers have fenced off the area to prevent their fields from being trampled by sightseers, while police have set up cordons.

Thomas Djamaluddin, the head of atmospheric sciences and chief of astronomy research at the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (Lapan), doubted, however, that the Slemen crop circles were an indication that humankind had been visited by aliens.

“We will not send investigators to the scene because we suspect the crop circle involves human invention, not natural phenomena, nor scientific phenomena associated with outer space creatures commonly referred to as aliens,” Thomas said.

Budi Waluyo, head of the Meteorology, Climatology and Geology Agency (BMKG) in Yogyakarta, said the agency had no records of a tornado in the special province or its surrounding areas on Saturday and Sunday.

He said even if a tornado did occur, it would leave a distinctive snaking trail, not a crop circle.

Sleman, Yogyakarta (ANTARA News) - A unique "crop circle", popularly believed to be the footprint of an unidentified flying object (UFO) was discovered in Rejosari village, Jogotirto, Berbah subdistrict, Sleman district, Yogyakarta province, on Sunday.

Crop circle in Yogyakarta

Kompas.com quoted a Rejosari villager named Basori as saying that he had heard a strange noise like that of a helicopter on Saturday at 10.30 PM West Indonesia Time landing on a rice field near his house.

Basori, whose house was located on the northern part of the crop circle-marked rice field said he heard the flying object`s sound for thirty minutes.

"The sound was heard for thirty minutes but at the moment I didn`t think much of it I thought it was only the sound of a passing helicopter," said the 41-year-old Basori.

The man`s confession was confirmed by Ayu Rukini, 32. "I also heard the sound. At the time, I and my husband were wathing TV. I thought it was an air force helicopter on a training flight," said Basori`s wife.

The crop circle at the rice field that certain people in the world frequently associated with UFOs was first observed by Yudi, 20.

Yudi was quoted by Kompas.com as saying that he first saw the crop circle when passing the rice field on his way to work on Sunday at 05.00 AM local time.

"When passing the rice field, I saw the paddies fall down but they formed a neat, orderly pattern," he said adding that he had not heard the sound Basori and his wife, Ayu Rukini, had claimed on Saturday night.

Yudi said he sat near Basori`s house from Saturday evening to early Sunday at 03.00 AM but he heard nothing. "During the night, there was no rainfall... But on Sunday morning, there was this pattern (crop circle) in the middle of the rice field," Yudi said.

This crop circle could clearly be seen from the peak of a hill on the northern part of the rice field. Locals called the hill "Mount Suru", he said.

Tens of people who were eager to see the unprecedented phenomenon climbed the slippery hill, including Syamsul Bahri, 37. Bahri said the crop circle was a sign of Almighty God`s greatness.

"Whether a UFO has indeed landed here, I don`t know precisely. What is clear is that this is a sign of God`s greatness. Maybe Almighty Allah (God) wants to warn mankind here to take care of His creation, nature," said the resident of Beloran village, Madurejo, Prambanan, Sleman district.
