June 26th 2003: Fornacette (Pisa)

crop circle Fornacette

(We apologize for possible errors in the translation)

The night between Thursday 26 and Friday 27 th of June 2003, in a field next to Fornacette (Pisa) appear a "Crop Circle" composed by 4 circles, 3 "normal" and 1 greater and more complex of the others.
The daily paper “La nazione” on June 27th publish an arcticle by Valeria Vignola about this case. Let's read it.
FORNACETTE—Aliens? Maybe not, perhaps it is just a maxi-joke organized by some boys to the only purpose to create a new "Crop Circles" case. Behind the strange signs carved in the wheat appeared some days ago in a field in the Street "Case nuove" in Fornacette, in the proximities of the river "Arno", there would be therefore the hand of a joker, even if at the moment this are only conjectures. But let's see the facts. According to the story of an employee of the agricultural firm "Massarosa", that is the owner of the field where the strange phenomenon occurred, the circles would have appeared on Tuesday morning. «I was on the tractor— tells Silvano Pantani, the first person that has discovered the fact— when I have realized that there were some spots in the field. I have drawn near for seeing what it could be and I have discovered that had been drawn some strange circles, one in clockwise sense, others two counterclockwise and the last with some strange signs as if it acted from base. It seemed so much strange to me that I have warned the administrator of the firm that in turn has called the policemen. Just the other morning in fact a helicopter it has overflight the zone and it came back in late afternoon to see waht had happened. However the fact is very strange. What can be happened? A question to which cannot be given a logical explanation, if not that the ability of a group of people taking the idea from the news bounced on the chronicle and on internet in the last days, about sighted similar phenomenons, some of them in Italy too. Meanwhile, yesterday morning, so many curious had hastened on the place as in pilgrimage. The Municipal Police of Calcinaia had ordered, after the discovery of Mr. Silvano, the ploughing of the field, to avoid emulations or other jokes. The circles have also been measured: the greater one would have a diameter of around thirty meters with some three-four meters distant grooves, while the channel of connection with the others three circles it would be wide more than two meters. The hypotheses of the police on the nature of the "artistic job" created in the field of Fornacette tend to consider a probable use of a sort of roll or even carpet, that would have only folded up the wheat There is besides the problem of the electrified barbed wire. Some wonder, in the case it was indeed an ufo, how has it been able to make a manoeuvre of that kind. For the moment the "joke" has not been vindicated. Then the mystery continues.
Also the newspaper “Il Tirreno”, Empoli edition, June 27 th 2003, publish -together with a full-page article - a colored image of the crop. (For the photos and the articles the PDF version of this document in our database).
At the end of the article it stands out an interview to Alfred Lissoni, of the CUN. This interview arouses the angers of Corrado Malanga, that attack him very hard (we don't quote the diatribe for good taste reasons and for not going off-topic). We publish instead (always in the PDF version of this document) some photos of Massimiliano Rossi, taken from the site cerchinelgrano.info
