(We apologize for possible errors in the translation) Exactly one year later, the crops appear again in "Mercato Saraceno". The local edition of the newspaper "Il Corriere di Romagna" prints an article and a photo: Mercato Saraceno - Yesterday morning the residents of the zone between "Mercato" and "Taibo", leaning out themselves to the windows, on the fields in front of their houses they have been able to admire a pair of "crop circles". Two concentric circles (see the pic taken by "Salvi") traced to little distance from the street "E45", with the ears crushed on the ground. Last year the curiosity of the inhabitants had been tickled by the circles that had appeared in Borello and Bacciolino, always in the first ten days of June. After a few days, the components of a family that lives near one of the two zones, had spoken of sightings Ufo. Those circles, according to the most suggestive and fascinating hypothesis, could be of extraterrestrial origin. An explanation that arouses the pleased smile of Francesco Grassi, national responsible of the crop circles phenomenon for "Cicap". Last year he had judged "two beautiful works", those of Borello and Bacciolino. The Cicap is the Italian Committee for the control of the affirmations on the paranormal. The circlemaking, that is the art to do the circles, was born from the wish of Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, two english artists determined to give (as a present) a "ufologic emotion" (in the sense of "alien spaceship") to whom would subsequently have found any trace to the ground. And it has immediately been accepted and imitated by other people, other groups of artists that time aftere time have contributed to the production of the formations that today are listed in books, internet sites, calendars. "It is obviously impossible to show that all the produced formations have been realized by men - explains Grassi. The success of the phenomenon is based on the authors' anonymity. The circlemakers, that is the men that do the circles, have built a philosophy of theirs life. One of the most important rules that they follow, is just not to complain the paternity of their own work. It seems paradoxical, but it is this way: once divulged the paternity, formation would lose its own magic".More detailed and finished explanations on this phenomenon could be given by two people that are experienced in matter of "space": the astronauts Shalizan Sharipov and Roberto Vittori. They are guests, in these days, in "Bagno di Romagna", where they are following a program of rehabilitation to digest (at the thermal baths) the works of a mission on board of the shuttle Soyuz. Notice the coincidence: the two astronauts have reached Bagno di Romagna Wednesday evening. The crop circles have appeared Thursday morning. If Sharipov and Vittori, that tomorrow evening will be protagonists of a public meeting in Bango di Romagna, they had to tell to have arrived in Savio Valley with their spatial shuttle, the explanation of the Taibo crop circles would be found.
