Tasmanian Crop Circles Not From Aliens, But Stoned Wallabies

This is just to darn funny and something that could only happen in Australia:

The mystery of crop circles in poppy fields in Australia’s southern island state of Tasmania has been solved — stoned wallabies are eating the poppy heads and hopping around in circles.

“We have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles,” the state’s top lawmaker Lara Giddings told local media on Thursday.

“Then they crash. We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high,” she said.

Many people believe crop circles that mysteriously appear in fields around the world are created by aliens.

Poppy producer Tasmanian Alkaloids said livestock which ate the poppies were known to “act weird” — including deer and sheep in the state’s highlands.

“There have been many stories about sheep that have eaten some of the poppies after harvesting and they all walk around in circles,” said field operations manager Rick Rockliff.

I had no idea Australia grew so much opium, especially in Tasmania.  That explains a lot about the people from Tasmania.  😉

Are there any pictures of these circles? I'd like to see them for myself to see what kind of formations these 'high' creatures create. All the atricles I find seem to only have a picture of wallabies… why don't they show the pictures of the cirlces? Also it would be worth noting who took the pictures, and if any wallabies have been caught in the action making these circles on video, etc. Also I'd like to know if the wallabies stopped now that we've caught on to them?

FIrst think I though was really Wallabies walking in circles? You can Google Maps in satelitte mode and search – Cressy, Tasmania, Australia. Zoom in the center of Cressy and you would see strange, but precise shapes. I stumbled on this phenomen researching Australia. I was looking at Tasmani, Australia and in Cressy I saw the crazy shapes and I was thinking what the heck is that? Amazing.

Kobe – those circles at Cressy are made by rotary irrigators, not aliens. If you zoom in close enough you can see them. Duh

These patterns are not created by animals. They are made by aliens who hover over the earth above various countries. the “aliens” are really spirit-beings, fallen angels, that is, who own the earth currently, but choose not to reveal themselves yet. They love to make an impression of some sort, just as spirits do, by haunting homes etc. I often see their space-craft in the sky. Here in Tasmania, and in the other states of Australia. They are highly intelligent and very informed – after all, they’ve had a long time since they were created, to learn about the earth.… Read more »
