Now that Disney Studios are making a movie about
them ('Signs', to be released in 2002), it's probably fitting
that most people think they are about as real as Goofy:
Crop
Circles have been documented since the 9th century. In early times
attributed to be the work of the devil, modern explanations of
this phenomenon have ranged from miniatures tornadoes to the workings
of aliens. One of the most incredible crop circle formations of
all time was seen on 13 August 2001 in Wiltshire in England, comprising
about 500 circles.

A
seemingly unreasonable explanation for the creation of crop circles
has now been put forward by English farmer Tim Carson:
In
a field next to his property a circle appeared which is composed
of approximately 500 individual circles. The farmer roughly estimated
that in order to fake this crop formation one circle would have
to have been created every 30 seconds. However, the short time available
during a typical summers night does not seem to make this feasible.
Crop
circles have been investigated by a number of individuals, not least
American billionaire Laurence Rockefeller, but no reasonable explanation
for their origin has been forthcoming. It is quite possible that
crop circles have been created since early human history began.
One theory even attributes the creation of Stonehenge to the earlier
appearance of a crop circle at the site.
By
looking at the giant size of the 400-500 circle crop formation the
scale of the mystery is revealed. To get an even better impression

Maybe
there are Aliens involved after all?
