Nobody seemed to have any idea who had created the markings however one resident told a local news station that several of the villagers had witnessed a strange object rising up out of the field while shining a beam of light down on to the crops.A video of a man walking through the formation was uploaded on Sunday to the Russian social network Vkontakte, providing a ground-based view of the flattened sunflowers. The region itself is no stranger to crop circles and is believed to account for almost 40% of all crop circle reports in Russia.
