Crop circles in Solano County
• Wishful Thinking
Steve Rubenstein in the SF Chronicle.
Kyle was among hundreds of folks who have come to the field at the junction of Suisun Valley Road and Rockville Road, about four miles west of Fairfield. It was there, on Saturday morning, that a half-dozen crop circles were discovered in the waist-high stalks of grain.
The circles, measuring up to 50 yards across, are either a sure sign that alien spaceships zipped into town or a testament to what a couple of tanked-up pranksters can do in the dead of night with a piece of rope and a few strips of wood.
Kyle must be included among those who believe in the first possibility. She had come from Ukiah to plop herself down on the ground under the noon sun and see if the circles' power could bring relief to her bad back.
"I think it's helping," she said. "I do feel more relaxed."
Also feeling more relaxed was Sylvia Keita, a journeyman psychic from the Berkeley Psychic Institute, who brought her mother and her 12-year-old daughter to the wheat field.
"I can feel the healing energy," she said.
"It's real," said her mom, Michelle.
"I think it's making my asthma better," said her daughter, Danielle.
Space aliens? In Solano? The mystic set comes 'round to see crop circles, feel the healing energy
