³LONDON (SEPT. 9) UPI - The baffling appearance of dozens of ³
³circles and other shapes in British grain fields may have   ³
³been solved Monday when two men said they, not              ³
³extraterrestial beings or freak meteorological forces,      ³
³created the patterns.                                       ³
³                                                            ³
³The declaration of the hoax, itself still unsubstantiated,  ³
³has brought forth yet another theory to be considered by    ³
³scientists and enthusiasts who have been studying the       ³
³mysterious phenomenon for more than a decade.               ³
³                                                            ³
³The shapes, known locally as ''corn circles,'' have appeared³
³overnight in fields, usually in southern England, without   ³
³any obvious sign of human handiwork. They have been         ³
³attributed variously to aliens, mating hedgehogs and        ³
³swirling masses of electrically charged air.                ³
³                                                            ³
³Doug Bower and David Chorley told the newspaper Today that  ³
³they used two wooden boards, a rope and a primitive aligning³
³device attached to a baseball cap to lay out the huge       ³
³patterns. They said they eluded detection by walking in     ³
³tractor paths to enter and leave the fields.                ³
³                                                            ³
³''How on earth can intelligent people of that sort -        ³
³professors etc. - just walk into a corn (wheat) field and   ³
³see some flattened corn and make all this out it over the   ³
³years?'' Bower told Independent Television News. ''We're as ³
³astounded as anyone else.''                                 ³
³                                                            ³
³Some scientists who have studied the mystery remain         ³
³sceptical of the Bower and Chorley's claims.                ³
³                                                            ³
³''I'm waiting for some hard evidence. I want to see them do ³
³what they claim they have done in front of me and television³
³cameras for all the world to see '' said Patrick Delgado, a ³
³retired NASA radar expert who has spent a great deal of time³
³studying the phenomenon.                                    ³
³                                                            ³
³Bower and Chorley derided the complex theories that have    ³
³grown up around the corn circles, which also have been      ³
³spotted in continental Europe and elsewhere.                ³
³                                                            ³
³''We used to laugh, we used to talk to each other when we're³
³doing this, that all it is is flattened corn. If you walk   ³
³in, you flatten it.  The only difference was the shapes,''  ³
³Chorley said.                                               ³
³                                                            ³
³Bower added, ''We love the shapes because of their artistic ³
³value. It's just become a big laugh as the years go by.''   ³
³                                                            ³
³The two men's hoax claim was made as 300 international      ³
³circle- watchers gathered in Glastonbury for the first      ³
³United Kingdom Cornconference.                              ³
³                                                            ³
³At the conference Sunday night, Delgado acknowledged that he³
³may have been fooled by a hoax.                             ³
³                                                            ³
³''I was taken for a ride like many other people,'' the      ³
³retired scientist said.  ''But if it wasn't me who was      ³
³duped, it would have been someone else later on.  This was  ³
³obviously a great joke, lasting years, but somewhere or     ³
³other it would have been exposed.''                         ³
³                                                            ³
³Delgado and the other conference delegates planned to       ³
³discuss the hoax claim and observe a demonstration of the   ³
³two men's technique.                                        ³
