'We're not the only ones': Crop circles in Maine

People came from all over New England to see Ventura Rocque's crop circles.

Three off-center orbs, one bigger than the next, in 3-foot-tall hay in his Gardiner field.

"Three days, the road going up there is probably a half a mile long, it was lined with cars, both sides," Rocque said, remembering the August 2002 scene. "One woman was in a wheelchair; I'll never forget it. She wanted to go out in the wheelchair, see if she could get healed or something. I don't know how it worked out for her."

He says he'd never seen anything like it before, never anything since.

And, he says, it was not a hoax — despite appearing days after the opening of M. Night Shyamalan's movie "Signs."

Ventura said his kids found the formation out riding their all-terrain vehicles, about 50 feet off the road.

At the time, Nancy Talbott investigated. One-third of the BLT Research Team, the oldest crop circle research group in the country, she's based in Cambridge, Mass. Her conclusion in Gardiner: genuine, as in not man-made.
