CROP circles have long been debunked but a new mystery has struck a field in England, with everyone asking – who is Sue?
On Thursday the National Police Air Service’s Benson helicopter spotted the name ‘Sue’ – and what looked like an X – etched into an Oxfordshire field.
The crew snapped a picture of the huge letters and posted it to their Twitter account, asking: “Does anyone know Sue just south of #Tetsworth, the other side of the M40?!”

They added: “Let’s see if we can use the power of social media to #FindSue! Please share far and wide!”
They later revealed that Sue had been tracked down and that the sign was a personal message, but she wanted to remain anonymous.
However that didn’t stop the Twittersphere speculating as to her identity and the motive behind the message, with #WhoIsSue and #FindSue trending on social media.

#WhoIsSue maybe it's not a woman... maybe they are telling you to sue somebody... where there's blame there's a claim

She’s the wife of the farmer who owns the field. He’s was apologising for not doing enough housework #FindSueX
