June 2nd 2003: Montegranaro (Ascoli)

crop circle Montegranaro (Ascoli)

June 2 nd 2003, in Montegranaro is found an enormous triangle drawn on the wheat.
The forum of Ufologia.net report interesting considerations and articles of newspaper, presumably the "Corriere Adriatico" 3rd- 4th of June (but we have not succeeded in verifying yet).Let's read
Fernando Perticarini: the seeding was usual, as all the others. I don't understand how that figure came out. It is a signal". The agriculturist of Cura Mostrapiedi tells the strange phenomenon of the triangle appeared in the wheat "On my field there is something divine"
MONTEGRANARO - It is a gift by the Lord. The result of so many sacrifices done in all this years. I have not drawn any triangle, but if that sketch is bringing so much people to my field, there should be some reason". Fernando Perticarini is almost tearing from his eyes while trying to explain the phenomenon that has brought to its ground many people in these days: a perfect triangle of dark color, with the sides of around 20 meters, "appeared" in the middle of his field of wheat.
The agriculturist of Cura Mostrapiedi is still incredulous while he is assisting to the continuous pilgrimage of curious and impassioned of science fiction. Yes, because the sketch, evidently born because of a strange joke of the destiny, it recalls to the mind phenomenons that happen around the world from a long time; not least the film "Signs" with Mel Gibson.
Nothing supernatural, says the agriculturist, and nothing to share with Ufos. It deals with a "benediction of the nature", a sign of prosperity that comes from above, but not from "unidentified (flying) oblects". The explanation given by Fernando about what happened, it is a lot "terrestrial". [...]
"I am owner of various fields" [..] "I was sowing my field, that is trapezoidal in shape - tells the agriculturist - I have begun as always from the sides and I have moved toward the inside. Then I have finished up the seeds so I had to use another type of wheat, the one that I use for the other field. You have to take into account the different characteristics of the ground of any field, for sowing the correct wheat. This way I have continued with some different seeds, till i have finished up again them. Then I had to change again."
Nothing transcendental, therefore. Yet there is something that also surprises him. "I have not moved on the ground in so precise way - he observes - and I don't even have taken the measures to build the sketch that now is under everybody's eyes. I repaired the seeds with the hand, as every good farmer would do. But I didn't think that would have come out something so geometrically precise". Leaning out himself to the door of his house, he saw a crowd of people with cameras, taking photos to his field, and this thing continuoue to surprise him. "I would never have thought that someone could stop to look at the product of my work - he comments with the voice broken by the emotion - I am sure that all of this is a benediction of the nature."
[...] "Has also arrived the television, to film my field of wheat - says Fernando - I would never have believed that my job could ever attract so much attention. I thank God for this". In Basso's opinion "it would be enough to measure the magnetism of the field to have a precise response, so we could exclude any supernatural hypothesis". Basso is mayor of Montegranaro, and impassioned of UFOs.

In the opinion of M. Campaniolo... [...]Mixing varieties of seeding is a practice often used in agriculture, so inside the same cultivation we can come across genetically different plants. If these plants are found inside a crop circle, this could be a rebus for us, but is not! [...] It deals with normal "anomalies" of a simple different genetic patrimony, and all in an only field of wheat. Montegranaro is not a case of crop circle, but must be remembered.[...]
