2008:

Bedford, INDIANA - September 12, 2008 (”Sudangrass”)
Multiple somewhat circular “bowl-like” and other irregularly-flattened areas of crop discovered following a reportedly mild rain storm, stretching across several adjacent fields. Although locals reported no severe winds, the farmer pointed out that sudangrass falls over easily when it gets wet, and he attributes the event to weather.

Chaffee, MISSOURI - August 22, 2008 (maize/corn)
Large areas of downed corn found after a storm, flattened very tightly to the ground. All stalks flattened S-to-N, even in a 975’-long, 6′-wide, downed strip along the North edge of this field. Many breaks (or “cuts”) were found in the lower nodes of the stalks. Although weather is likely a factor, extreme flatness of downed stalks is odd.

Fosston, MINNESOTA (#2) - July 27, 2008 (wheat)
A 229′-long “pictogram” with a very rough overall lay and none of the visible cc plant abnormalities. Local animal disturbances & aerial light phenomena were reported, and 2 circles were found to have been added on return field-trip. For report & photos see: bltresearch.com/fieldreports/july2008b.php.

Fosston, MINNESOTA (#1) - July 20, 2008 (wheat)
On-site field investigation revealed very “rough” overall flattening of plants, crooked pathways, and no evidence of elongated apical (top) plant-stem nodes or expulsion cavities. “Star” pathways had been flattened out over perimeter ring, and ring & all paths were of the same width. Most likely mechanically flattened (man-made).

Greenville, ILLINOIS - June 30, 2008 (wheat)
From ground photos supplied by field owner’s daughter-in-law and on-site interviews with various locals, it appears most likely that this formation was made by local high school students using—of all things—hockey sticks. The field had been cut by the time BLT was notified so no sampling could be carried out and nothing more is known.
