SPOOKY CIRCLES: This unusual pattern has appeared in Albury farmer Andrew Kerr's crop.

When Andrew Kerr woke up yesterday morning, he felt a bit alienated from the rest of Albury in south Canterbury.

Not because he's an Englishman in a country full of Kiwis, but because a large crop circle had appeared on his farm.

The unusual pattern had him wondering whether his insurance cover had an "alien policy".

But Mr Kerr's friends were the creative culprits.

"I was annoyed this morning but now I have to just have a laugh about it."

His friends, who did not want to be named, told The Timaru Herald they donned balaclavas and dark hats to flatten the crop on Sunday night.

"It was more exciting because we thought that he might come out and catch us," one said.

"He's always the life of the party and always been the joker."

So what would Mr Kerr do to his friends? That could not be revealed, but he made it clear that "revenge will be sweet".
