POLL: Researcher skeptical of suspected Sturgeon Lake crop circle

“We never had anything in our crop fields that make that mark,” she said.

Chris Rutkowski, research co-ordinator with Ufology, has done extensive research on crop circles in Canada.

He found records of crop circles in Saskatchewan dating back to the 1960s.

“There’s quite a history that goes back further than the British crop circles oddly enough, so if anything, Canada started the whole phenomena and then it moved to England where it became popular,” he said.

He had looked at the pictures taken from the Felix farm, and he agreed the patterns are very unusual.

“Most of the other crop circles we’ve looked at, the circles were complete discs, in other words the area within the circle was all matted down or laid down whereas the one at Sturgeon Lake is concentric rings which is a bit unusual, in fact I don’t recall one like that in Saskatchewan, Manitoba or Alberta over the past 30 years,” he said

Rutkowski remains skeptical of the discovery. He said in all his experience, he and his team have yet to find a case that was caused by aliens, they have all turned out to be hoaxes, either man made or machine made.

“Some are very elaborate, some have circles and arrows and squiggles,” he said. “They happen in different kinds of plants; some are in wheat, some are in other grains.”

Rutkowski said there have been between 40 and 50 reports of crop circles in Saskatchewan in the past 30 years. Two of the most popular areas for sightings have been around Maidstone and in the Estevan area.
