Conspiracy theorists will be disappointed to learn that the appearance of these forms has a scientific explanation. The circles appeared as a result of an experiment that lasted about 50 years.

Recently, two peculiar "crop circles" were noticed in the Japanese prefecture of Miyazaki. They are visible only from above. Geometrically, the drawings are formed by cryptomeria, known as Japanese cedar, the Japanese name of these trees is Sugi.

According to the documents (PDF format) received This Is Colossal from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, in 1973 the site near the city of Nitinan was defined as "experimental forestry". And one of the experiments was to try to measure the effect of distance between trees on their growth. The experiment was carried out by planting trees forming 10 concentric circles of different diameters.

The concave shape formed was an unexpected result of the experience. The density of trees really affects their growth. It was planned that they would be removed in about 5 years, but now officials are considering the possibility of preserving "crop circles".

For all interested, the exact coordinates.
