September 6, 2003, Peebles, Adams County, Ohio - Delsey Knoechelman was driving with her mother, Beverly, and her two daughters, Natasha and Aerial around 11 a.m. Sunday, August 24, 2003, when they rode over the Brush Creek bridge and saw "an oddity in the soybean field that was not natural."
Delsey explained to me that the reason they noticed the field was that on Friday, August 22, there was a major thunderstorm that caused a lot of flooding and they were looking for water damage. Upon seeing the strange pattern in the soybeans, Delsey turned the car around and went back home for her camera. She also called a cousin who is very tall so he could help her get higher angled photos of the crop formation. Delsey also called the Adams County Sheriff's Department to see if there was a process for reporting crop formations. The deputy sheriff said there was not and that nothing could be done unless the landowner filed a vandalism report.
Finally through her father, a former deputy sheriff, Delsey was able to confirm who the farm owner was and received permission to enter the field, along with her husband, Tony, and researchers Jeffrey Wilson, Ted Robertson, and Roger Sugden, who contacted a pilot in order to take aerial photographs.

My husband and I we were about the second group to go in and went out into the field and helped them that morning to collect the data and everything.
