Local residents appeared baffled by the incident with no explanation forthcoming as to how or why someone would go to such lengths to create it. The field's owner has since hired security guards to monitor the property, allowing access only to news reporters.

"I don't know what it is supposed to be ... but it is beautiful," said Julie Belanger who recorded aerial footage of the design.

To date nobody knows who was responsible or how it was done.
