Hi Lindy…

I have an Uncle that is government trapper.

Basically what he does is, say if a farmer or rancher is having problems with crop destruction or cattle deaths unattributed to diseases they usually contact State authorities that contact people like my Uncle to track, trap and capture or kill the source of it. He has been on hundreds of Cattle mutilation and crop destruction cases that conclusively where done by a rogue mountain lion passing through a territory, a group of feral hogs, teens looking for a thrill, or a weird cult.

Year’s back when crop circles and stuff like that where starting to get notoriety as something ‘alien’ in it’s origin my uncle was called in to find out the source of ‘weird’ happening’s in a two thousand acre corn field. How all this started was that a car accident had occurred parallel to this corn patch and life flight was dispatched and while flying over they noticed these ‘strange’ formations. One of the people on the helicopter told one person then he told another and before you knew it was a big mystery and then the media got involved. Anyway, my uncle called my dad and asked him if I could go with him on this and dad O.K’ed it. Here I was a teenager ready to check out some alien stuff, damn I was excited. To my dismay, come to find out, a large group of feral hogs had adopted this cornfield as home and they had figured out that they had an endless supply of fresh corn. They made huge circles in this cornfield by finding a nice secluded spot and eating in circles following the lead boar. He had a few other of these and it was concluded without a reasonable doubt that they where made by man or animal.

I guess my point is that usually 99.9% of the time there is a reasonable explanation to this sort of thing.
