On October 16, 2013, to the village of Grigorovka, Zaporizhzhya region, where "circles in the field" were found in June, a belated but amateur expedition of Zaporozhye researchers of anomalous phenomena - Alfred Teplov and Pyotr Oleinik (editor of the Ukrainian newspaper "Alien"), set off.
“Circles in the field” near Hryhorivka, although they looked spectacular, remained practically without the attention of the Ukrainian press - all attention was focused on “circles in the field” near Tseperov (Lviv region).
“On the phone, we were told that they were still preserved … in fact, the field has already sprouted with winter wheat, but the place where the circles were sprouted with thicker wheat and the first eyewitness of these circles found them easily,” says Alfred Teplov. - There were three circles. The first, about a hundred meters from a country road, according to my measurements was approximately (all measurement results are approximate, since it was impossible to determine the exact boundaries) 24-25 meters.
The diameter of the second circle was approximately 12 meters. And closely touched the big circle. The third (last) "circle" also touched the second, but it was not a circle. It was in the form of a drop. The round part touched the second circle; the other half was elongated in the form of a drop. The size of the entire third figure: a semicircle - diameter - 4 meters, the long part (with a sharp end of the drop) - 7 meters. The distances between the centers of the circles are approximately 18 meters and 10 meters. All three circles are oriented (in the centers) quite accurately (plus or minus 2-3 degrees) in the North-South direction."
The researchers were not able to make a more thorough analysis (due to the lack of the circles themselves, it was not possible to get acquainted with the nature of the breaks of the stems and take some samples for analysis) and therefore, in their conclusions about the nature of their origin, they chose to refrain. It remained unclear whether the "circles in the field" were made near Grigorovka by some natural phenomenon or subjects of another civilization (who mastered natural phenomena that were inaccessible to our civilization) or were they just man-made tricks of earthly "jokers".

Meanwhile, some conclusions suggested themselves.

“It should be taken into account,” argues Alfred Teplov, “that to create a complete drawing by hand, craftsmen would have to work only in the daytime, so that at 13 o'clock (more precisely: at the climax of the Sun) they would orient the direction of the drawing to North-South (and not be seen). Second, it is very difficult to come up with a device for making an exact symmetrical drop from ears of corn, and this is something new in the fantasy of the famous field drawings. Both the first and the second execution of such work would be problematic for the “artist-inventors”. But … one cannot categorically assert that it is impossible at all!
The crop circles of Grigorovka were oriented quite accurately in the North-South direction.
Afflicted by the lack of immediate fresh “crop circles”, the researchers, having recorded all the formalities, returned to their native Zaporozhye. The expedition member P. Oleinik highlighted his impressions of the trip on the pages of the weekly "Extraterrestrial" in No. 44 dated 31.10.2013.
- And if we arrive in the spring and “paint” the whole field with such circles, will you go to the police, report sabotage? - A. Teplov asked at parting with the director of a local agricultural firm.
- Of course, and why not, if this is really sabotage. But the fact that this is sabotage must be proved. And in our case, the circles that were found here are very strange. Who knows where they came from …
Where they came from in the fields of the village of Grigorovka, Zaporozhye region, remains a mystery; in memory of the cereaological event, a video cut by Vladimir Shak, editor of the news service of the Zaporozhye regional newspaper MIG, from photographs of local photographer Yuriy Kalchenko, remained.
