Crop circle in Germany attracts many visitors

BERLIN

Thousands of people are trekking to a Bavarian farmer’s field to check out a mysterious set of crop circles.

The ornate design was discovered by a balloonist last week, and news of the find quickly spread online.

Farmer Christoph Huttner, who owns the wheat field near Weilheim, couldn’t be reached to comment Wednesday but told the DPA news agency Tuesday he didn’t create the circle himself. He suggests students on summer vacation may have cut the image with a 246 foot diameter into his field.

The news agency says thousands of visitors have come to sing, dance and even swing pendulums in the giant image.

Huttner says he’s not yet sure whether he will leave the circle in his field.

Naked intruder fell asleep in couple’s bed, police say

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

A New Mexico man faces charges after authorities say a couple found him naked and sleeping in their bed.

Investigators say Freddy Shelby, 30, of Albuquerque was arrested Sunday after the home-owners called police to report their unwanted mystery guest.

According to a criminal complaint, Shelby broke into the couple’s home through a window and grabbed a Sprite from the refrigerator before falling asleep in the master bedroom. Authorities say the homeowners found a disrobed Shelby in a deep sleep.

Officers arrived and called to the man, but he slept through it. Authorities say Shelby woke up only after an officer ripped the blankets off him. Shelby told officers he thought he was at his girlfriend’s house.

He was charged with breaking and entering.
