You know those crop circles that you always see on some documentary on the Nature Science Alien Adventure Conspiracy Channel for High People late at night?  Well, we’ve solved the mystery.  They weren’t created by ancient shamans in the throes of religious ecstasy, nor were they created by aliens using the earth as their Microsoft Paint.

In Australia, anyway, the crop circles were created by wallabies.  High-@ss wallabies:  

“The one interesting bit that I found recently in one of my briefs on the poppy industry was that we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles,” Lara Giddings told the hearing.

“Then they crash,” she added. “We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high.”

To be fair to the wallabies, it wasn’t supposed to look like a crop circle, it was supposed to look like a crop Valkyrie goddess with shimmering hair wielding a sword made of light from all the colors in the universe combined.  They were high, though.  Reports a farmer:

“They would just come and eat some poppies and they would go away,” he told ABC News.

“They’d come back again and they would do their circle work in the paddock.”

They went to get their friends going, dude you have to see this.  Like, you have to see this.  It’s like all my muscles… are made of butter.  Dude.

Apparently, sheep are also known to dance with Mr. Brownstone in the fields as well.  Fun fact: 50% of the world’s medicinal opium comes from Australia.
