Oleggio - The sighting, happened Saturday 21 May, of strange "signs" in a field of maize in "via Valsesia" continue to make people curious. The zone is precisely between the barracks of the Policemen and a carpentry, and it is attainable through a little road on which, on both sides, can be noticed the crop circles. But the use of conditional form is compulsory. Here is what Alexander Leonardi, writer, independent researcher about ufology and paranormal phenomenons, says. First, what crop circles are? "It deals with a phenomenon - explains the expert - been born for a long time immemorial, that has had a "boom" in the '80th, but that has kept on also growing thanks to the new technologies and the possibility to see the sketches from aerial views. As egards the formation of these signs, some advocate the theory according to which they would be caused by a sort of exogenous energy of the Earth, and also by forms of contamination, electromagnetic fields etc. As it regards Oleggio, phenomenons of the kind were not verified, never even if in past have been sighted some bright globes, as also happened in Mezzomerico. The sightings in this zone have been so many, but when don't have a photo it is difficult to understand, because every single case must be studied apart."
The crop circles of Oleggio have been discovered by a man, having noticed by chance some anomalies, has decided to venture himself in the middle of the fields, ascertaining that the circles are blunt in more zones of the same area, with folded up wheat, as to form gradients, that in this case are both circulars and rectangular.
"Many - it continues Leonardi - have sharpened the techniques to recreate these signs, but, through the chemical analyses that are effected in these cases, the sign is been always recognized artificially created. Another particularity is that these signs, to their first appearance, do not introduce complicated sketches: they become subsequently more detailed. A detail to be clarified is that there is not, as many persons think, a direct bond among the circles and the ufologic phenomenon: there are certainly forms of energy, but it comes into a dimensional or purely energetic issue. A thinking, intelligent energy". Leonardi, since many years devotes himself to paranormal activities: he has written two books, "Disclosed the mystery of the pyramids" and "New heretics."
Returning to the phenomenon verified in Oleggio, an explanation could be given by the normal tendency of the wheat to bend itself to 90°. In every case, the ears of the field of street Valsesia will be submitted to analysis.
