Interesting it always seems to be Britain and sometimes USA.... where high populations means crops are acessable to many, and the popularity of making them is caused by the fact there are more people talking to each other about techniques and little underground "crop circle" clubs form
Show me all the ones in the more remote farming areas of australia, the unpopulated grasslands of Africa and the US prairies where there are very few people.....
I mean, surely aliens would want to put their navigation markers all over - not just in Pommie land
I thought everyone knew that they were made by Wallabies on drugs.

"we have a problem with wallabies entering poppy fields, getting as high as a kite and going around in circles," says Lara Giddings, the attorney general of Tasmania
"Then they crash," she added. "We see crop circles in the poppy industry from wallabies that are high."

China Says Crop Circles
Appeared There 3,000-Years-Ago

One of the first documented reports of a crop circle formation - the unexplained geometric designs that occur in fields of wheat and corn - appeared in 1678 Stirlingshire, Scotland. But this phenomenon was largely ignored until the 1970s and 80s when formations began to appear with increasing frequency around the globe. Today most countries - with the exception of China - are said to have experienced crop circle phenomena.
Yet is China really devoid of these unusual creations? Certainly, if someone or something is trying to communicate with mankind through patterns carved into crops, China's sizable population could not be ignored.
Western experts have obviously failed to carefully consider the data from this country. One only has to refer to the work of Zhang Hui, a research fellow at the Xinjiang Museum in Urumqi, to find evidence that suggests China - with its long history - experienced crop circle phenomena long before any other civilization on the planet.
Zhang claims to have harvested more than 20 stone patterns appearing to match crop circle formations from other countries, but pre-dating them by up to 3,000 years.
After discovering several of these stone circle patterns, which range from simple circles to more elaborate shapes, in the grasslands of Qinghe County beside the Sino-Mongolian border, Zhang was intrigued. He quickly headed to Beijing to consult Chinese translations of reference works by British crop circle experts.
He was amazed by the similarities.
Zhang believes the primitive people of the region, after witnessing the formation of actual crop circles, concluded that the designs were a form of communication from the gods and responded in kind to the divine messages by placing rocks in the shape of the circles.
For Zhang, these stone arrangements prove China has experienced crop circle phenomena - possibly more recently than imagined.
According to Zhang, one rare eyewitness described seeing a crop circle appear in a Northeast China field in only a short time while he was in the company of Red Guards. However, as the event occurred during the "cultural revolution" (1966-76), when such superstition was illegal, the account went undocumented.
If crop circles are an attempt at communication from an unknown source, then what is this source and who is supposed to receive the message?
Humans, being ego-centric creatures, naturally assume the messages hidden in the crop circles are meant for mankind. But what about the other species inhabiting our planet. As in Douglas Adam's novel, "So long and thanks for all the fish" - where dolphins were actually alien observers studying the human race as a psychologist studies rats in a maze - humans may not be the most advanced species on the earth.
Possibly, the messages are meant for the legions of cockroach species which inhabit the darker corners of our daily life. After all, following mankind's inevitable self-destruction in a nuclear holocaust, cockroaches will be the only creatures left alive.
Yea they are. A friend of mine Mark is from the UK and he and teams of guys would go out and make them, its not just one person.
He even showed me pictures of the guys doing it at night, 20-30 people in each team. Thats why they can do them so quick! I will try and scan that picture and post it.
Total BS but you'd never believe it Doc.
NG did a docco on this called "The Truth Behind Crop Circles"
Lots of interviews and a group of 'fakers' attempted to make a complex geometrically exact replica of a shape designed by a mathematician - they did it perfectly in one night.
The overwhelming evidence suggested Hoax.
They even interviewed so called believers who re-enforced the hoax.
However like Jesus some find solace in the belief of circles and it helps them get through their day. So it aint all bad.
Try the nascar lines instead.
@doggie: Haaa the ol' friend story

I shouldn't be so cynical.
However crop circles bring it out of me.
I mean if an alien force is at work here why travel millions and millions of miles from wherever using their advanced technology (that we all presume they have) to South England wait until the corn/cereals are ready then crush them to form nice shapes.
You people are all mad ! Of course it,s bloody aliens that that do this.The "people" you see pictured doing this mowing, must be god damm freaking aliens. No earthling would have the time or energy to do that much extra pointless work!
Viva those alien freaks!!!!!
^^^^
Come to think of it, I got the snip done many years ago. Walked like a cowboy for a week AND had that padding around the nuts as well. So maybe they just didn't want him breeding?
I have 3 books that go into the maths of them and many documentaries about crop circles and to be honest I'm completely stomp on this.
There have been man made ones, and even media sponsored designs, but they pail in comparison.
@poor relative: you're assuming too much travel, aliens, technology, corn?
PS: Dr. seriously lay of the rense man.
Yeah, for once I agree that The Doctor is right. I must be going crazy when I start to believe.
As if men can make Circles in a crop field... pffff! As if!
Circles? It's almost like they would have to have mastered the advanced art of using string...
