On June 16 th 2003 is discovered in a field of wheat an enormous and curious sketch, whose origin could be probably dated the preceding day. The crop is imposing, and the newspapers are interested in this case. Firstly the newspaper “La Stampa”, with an article of Mauro Revello - June 18th.

PEROSA CANAVESE - The sketch is perfect: a great circular open space, of the diameter of about forty meters, from which depart a long corridor ending in a cross. This enormous sketch has made its appearance in the night between Saturday and Sunday in Perosa, in a field of wheat along the provincial road to Scarmagno.[...] The only certainty is that, as soon as the news has spread, the zone has been taken of assault by the curious ones, with justified anger of Nelso Perno, tenant of the fund (the ground is property of "Olivetti Multiservices") and owner of the wheat magistrally «flattened» in Perosa. The discovery has been made by two impassioned, Alberto Dovana and his wife Miriam Madau, of Montalto Dora. «Two weeks ago, passing there with our motorcycle, we have noticed those of Vische - they tell -. we have made some photos, withdrawing some samples of ground and ears, both in the traced area and out of the sketch. We have then sent the samples to Turin, in a laboratory of analysis, and we are waiting for an answer». Alberto Dovana also has overflight the zone, thanks to the availability of the vice-president of the Avioclub of Montalto, Naviglio Galletto. Last Sunday has been instead Miriam Madau to discover the «crop circle» of Perosa, surely more interesting and particular. «They are twenty years that I fly - it tells Galletto - and I have never seen anything similar». Miriam Madau doesn't Even know how to explain this phenomenon. «We are in contact with the Ecospirituality Foundation in Turin however - she tells -. I can say only that wheat is folded up in circular sense and toward north, without being broken, with perfectly linear forms». Yesterday, in Perosa, there were also the policemen and the police. Nelso Perno, the owner, is convinced that it deals with a joke: «A roll is enough, to do such a job. The Ufos? Don't be silly...». Then he thinks about his crop. «Now nothing is compromised. But who will pay the damages, if the field is taken of assault by the visitors»?
The same day also “Torino Cronaca” writes about this event, with an article by “M. M.” entitled: “UFOs have arrived in Canavese”.
In the article is written that it deals with circles visible only from above, and that the mayor of the city has held rightful to call the policemen. The soldiers, to lieutenant Silvio Mele's orders, have firstly verified that it didn't deal with scorches; «The plants of wheat have not burnt neither broken - says the officer - but only folded up, as if something was leaned over them. Hard to say what»
Always on June 18th also “Localport” publishes some lines edited by Fred Bona: “Circles in the wheat”: work of the Ufos or jokers?”
Then "Torino Cronaca" returns on the theme with a new article, that favors the sceptic thesis: The circles in the field of wheat? Work of jokers. The Ufologic Center Italian Studies (CISU) doubts that the sketches appeared in the Canavese have an extraterrestrial origin.
A joke therefore. It seems to confirm this verson the journal “La Sentinella del Canavese” that the same forenoon publish an article by “ri.co” with an unequivocal title: “Crop circles, more joke than Ufo”
Obiviously also the CICAP agree: man-made.
