Upon
receiving a report about a mysterious circle found in rosebay from a local
Swedish newspaper (Tidningen Ängermanland),
Eva-Marie Brekkestø of the Norwegian Crop Circle
Group contacted Olga Sjödin who had discovered the
circle on the 2nd of December 2006.
Sjödin
provided the following information:
”In late
August 2006 my husband and I were visiting our holiday home, on a small farm named Bäcka
Torp, close to the village of Backe
in Ängermanland, central Sweden.
In a meadow
that is presently over-grown with weeds, there is an area of rosebay. In the
middle of this rosebay patch, I discovered an oval area of flattened plants. The
rosebay plants were all laid down in the same direction, from one end of the
oval to the other. The total length of the flattened oval was about five metres,
and all around the flattened area was a band, about two metres wide, of
standing rosebay plants.

The rosebay, just in the process of loosing its flowers, mostly had the white down-like seeds, but a few flowers were still left at the top of the plants.
There were no
signs that anyone had walked into or deliberately trampled the area of standing
rosebay around the circle. The flattened plants showed no sign of damage, and
the delicate down-like seeds were still hanging on the stalks of all the plants.
Nor could any traces of animals or humans be found inside the flattened area.”
