Crop circles are often attributed to UFOs but we do not have so many eyewitness accounts linking the two phenomena. The incident you are about to read took place near the town of Arad in Romania in 1994; the day was Monday June 20th and the time of the occurrence was about 4 a.m. The main witness not only saw the UFO creating the crop circles but also had the opportunity to observe its occupants.

The crop formation was made of two rings. The inner ring was 6 meters in diameter. The outer ring was 42 meters in diameter and most of its band had a width of 4 meters which increased to 6 meters over a 70 degree section.

The case was investigated by members of Romanian UFO Investigation Group (RUFOR), Peter Leb, Cornelia Nemes and Mircea Aries. They were able to identify a number of eye witnesses that were or lived close to the field. Several witnesses spoke of a terrifying experience, a strange whistling noise, a light in the sky and over the wheat field and the sound of rippling wheat. Some were so terrified that stopping looking or ran back to their homes.

One witness however, spoke more openly, Traina Crisan (48), a local down to earth person with no prior exposure to UFOs working as a farm tractor mechanic for 22 years. During those early hours, Traian was sleeping in his hut located next to the wheat field. At about 4 a.m, he woke up and decided to go and have a look at his sheep. At that moment he notices a light similar to that of the moon but bigger approaching his location. He observed for a while and then went back to his hut..

He was about to get something to eat when he realised that this light was now over his hut. The walls and roof started to shake; he ran out to observe better. Once he was outside, a powerful blast of wind blew away his hat and cape and knocked him down on the floor. Looking up again he could now see the object in more detail as it was only at a distance of 30 meters. The object is completely round and has some sort of door opening. The upper part features a transparent dome and inside there is a powerful white light. It makes a whistling sound. The crops below the craft are moving and swirling. The object has a size equal to the diameter of the outer ring of the crop circle (42 meters; as documented after the incident). He sees two individuals in the object, each one is holding some kind of device that looks like a tube; they have beards and mustaches and are of normal height. By this time his sheep are all terrified and scattered and his dog has found refuge inside the hut. One of the individuals speaks into a handheld device, his voice can be heard but Traian does not recognise the language. He takes a close look at one of the individuals and is able to pick up some further details. One of them looks about 40 years old and has a long beard similar to that of an Orthodox Christian priest; he is thin and has eyes of a Chinese. This one is standing in front of the door of the dome on something like a small balcony.

After about two minutes a blue light in tubular form is emitted from the UFO’s under part and the object started to rise. The light was about 1,5 meters in length and 30 to 40 centimeters in diameter. At this moment, as the UFO appears to gain height and prepares to shoot off, the crop circles started to be formed. A few moments later the UFO shoots off vertically towards the sky( making a cannon-like sound); its lights go out and disappears in the night sky.
