Farmer Torbjørn Warø is not interested in having more circles in the field. Should further circles appear, he will inform the police.

Warø rents and manages the field that caught the attention of several medias yesterday. The farmer was informed about the strange phenomenon early last week. Ivar Oust at the adjacent property called him and asked if he was in a close relationship with small green men.

"Yes I am", he replied, without knowing why his neighbour had made this joke. He lives in Malvik (a village some miles outside Trondheim. Ed.) and is not able to inspect these rented fields near Trondheim (the capital of the region. Ed.) on a daily basis. But now he might have to inspect his fields more often. The farmer is not interested in any more circles in the fields.

If any further incidents like this occur, we’ll have to see that the field vandals are caught and punished. We cannot accept such pranks, says Warø. Still he does not want to press charges for the damages to the field close to the Radmann building at Leangen. The circle makers had not totally flattened the grain. The many curious visitors, who want to inspect the formation close up, cause far greater damage. Yesterday herds of spectators were observed between the barley stalks all day long. If only this traffic goes down and if we’re not surprised by rain, Warø is positive that he’ll have the combine-harvester in the field and the crops in house very soon.

The farmer from Nedre Torp in Malvik has no idea who has made the circles in the field. But he’s sure that there’s a very earthly explanation to the phenomenon. He is not very impressed by the craftsmanship either. There are several important flaws to the geometry.
