Crop Circles Attract Curious Spectators
From Times Wire Reports

Throngs of UFO enthusiasts, New Agers and assorted believers in the
paranormal
have been flocking to the Sacramento Valley to take in the dozen or so crop
circles that mysteriously appeared in a wheat field two weeks ago.

Some brought hope that the circles would help cure their ailments and others
looked for spiritual insight.

But it appears the simplest explanation is at hand for why a sleepy farming
community halfway between San Francisco and Sacramento has become a tourist
destination: Four bored Fairfield teenagers confessed to the Vacaville
Reporter
that the circles were their handwork.
