Huge crop circles appear in field in Germany
Thousands of people trek to a Bavarian farmer's field in southern Germany to check out a mysterious set of crop circles which were first spotted by a hot air balloonist

The ornate design printed into the crops was discovered by a balloonist last week and news of the find quickly spread online.
The circle, which appeared in a wheat field bordering the Raisting Satellite Earth Station communications facility, resembles an ornament with ring-shaped features.
Farmer Christoph Huttner, who owns the wheat field near Weilheim, couldn't be reached for comment on Wednesday, but he told local media earlier that he didn't create the circle himself.
He suggested students on summer holiday may have cut the image, which has a 246 feet diameter, into his field.
Many visitors to the field questioned whether the elaborate design was created made by humans, given its precise manner.
