Geibs' fields near Wilbur. Washington. Reported 24th July Map Ref: This Page has been accessed [Hit Counter] Updated Monday 6th August 2012 AERIAL SHOTS GROUND SHOTS DIAGRAMS FIELD REPORTS ARTICLES All aerial Images Rod Hoekstra Copyright 2012 Kite Aerial Photography of Crop Circles, near Wilbur, Washington, USA, Aug 2, 2012 I am extremely excited to present these kite aerial photography images of crop circles in Eastern Washington. Last night I came across a news story that said that crop circles had shown up in a fairly remote part of the state, and I thought about it all night and this morning after getting a few things done in Seattle I threw my KAP kit together and drove east. The drive was about 4 hours, and I had no idea if I was going to get good wind, good lighting conditions, or even whether or not the farmer had already harvested the field. I was extremely fortunate in that everything worked out perfectly, and I got this and several other good images. Crop circles in Washington are quite rare, this is the third one in roughly the same area in about as many years. Personal opinions about how these are formed varied a great deal with the people I spoke with in the area. When I arrived someone was just leaving and muttering about microwave radiation. Others were convinced young kids had done it, and one person thought the farmers themselves had done it. Regardless, I was very excited to have the opportunity to see crop circles, something I've never been able to see before in my life.

At one point the wind died completely, I had to haul in my quite very quickly in order to not land it in unmolested wheat, and when I was able to launch it again later the wind direction had shifted. There are close up blurry photos of trampled wheat during that segment.

Thank you Washington farm is the latest site of mysterious crop circles `We had aliens attack us you know, I guess,' farmer Greg Geib says with a laugh.

What caused the massive crop circles on a field at Greg Geib's Washington state wheat farm? "We had aliens attack us you know, I guess," he told KHQ-TV. Greg's wife Cindy thinks "it would be kind of cool if it really were aliens," but doesn't seem to think it's likely. The elaborate designs were pressed into the Geibs' fields near Wilbur, Wash., last week. Whoever or whatever made them strikes area fields every year or two, according to local farmers. "I guess this year it was our turn," Cindy Geib said. Though some people believe that crop circles are the work of visiting extraterrestrials, the phenomenon began in the 1970s when admitted hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley started carving the elaborate designs into British farmers' fields.
