Episode 28 - During the late 1960's into the 1970's, farmers in Canada began noticing strange rings and circles showing up in their fields overnight. Nobody was quite sure what they were and with the UFO surge in the late 1970’s, the idea arose that they were made by aliens. People would travel from all corners of the world just to catch a glimpse of these "alien made" crop circles. Not everybody agreed with this despite no other explanation given. Nobody knew for certain what was causing them. Were these crop circles the result of UFO’s landing or was there some other worldly explanation for these bizarre events?
