Report from Robert Boerman
At 08-08-2002, Friso van Dorten reported a crop circle near Lelystad to the PTAH Foundation. Friso discovered this formation together with some friends when he did a short flight.
The next day, we drove to Lelystad for some research. Once we entered the field, we needed just 5 minutes to discover that this formation is a hoax. It all looks terrible and to us it seems if the same hoaxers as last year near Lelystad made this formation. In the entire formation we found traces of mechanical presure and it looks if the hoaxers had a little walking tour inside the formation. The owner told us that, when he discovered the formation himself, he had seen a lot of footprints in several tramlines and to him it looks if they could not deceid in which tramline they should start. In the 2001 formation near Lelystad, the hoaxers made a big mistake: the picked the wrong tramline and the result was that the formation ended in a field with beets...
The entire formation looks so bad that we first thought that a infant class had made this formation. Unfortunately the kindergarten teacher forgot to give the farmer some money... The damage in his field is approx. 350 Euro.... Damage that nobody wants to pay him...
Nevertheless we want to thank Anjo Schreuder of flying school Skyriders, because we could join her during a test flight so we could take some aerial photo's of this hoax.
