'Alien' takes blame for crop circles

A dog walker claimed she met a man from another planet who said aliens were behind crop circles, military UFO files show.

The anonymous woman telephoned RAF Wattisham in Suffolk in a state of distress to describe her out-of-this-world encounter the previous night.

The woman told the operator at the base that the incident happened as she was walking her dog on a sports field close to her home near Norwich in 1989. She was approached by a man with a "Scandinavian-type accent" who was dressed in a light brown garment like a flying suit.
