"At first, they were all really ticked off about someone trampling their wheat -- some even kept quiet about some of the signs," he says. "Now they're all figuring ways to make the crop circles come to their fields so they can cash in too!"
For the moment, it seems an unidentified investor plans to rake in some cash as well by relying on the circles' magical ability to draw tourists from the far reaches of Poland.
The investor plans to build what is likely to be the first UFO hotel, bar, grill and restaurant in the known universe. But cashing-in isn't simple for farmers who might be considering resorting to fakery, according to farmer Tadeusz Filipczak, 55, on whose fields the first crop circles appeared three years ago.
