Crop circles are areas of cereal or similar crops that have been systematically flattened to form various geometric patterns.
The phenomenon itself only entered the public imagination in its current form after the notable appearances in England in the late 1970s.
Various scientific and pseudo-scientific explanations were put forward to explain the phenomenon, which soon spread around the world. In 1991,
more than a decade after the phenomena began, two men, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, revealed that they had been making crop circles in England since 1978 using planks, rope, hats and wire as their only tools.
Many other people around the world are also openly making crop circles, notably Circlemakers.org.
Although the commonly accepted view today is that crop circles are a man-made phenomenon, paranormal explanations, often including UFOs, are still popular.

There is no evidence that crop circles are anything but a hoax. Consider this:-
Why do they not occur anywhere other than in crops, usually corn?
Why are they a recent phenomenon?
Why are they always in relative close proximity to each other?
Why have they started getting into more elaborate patterns than just circles?
Sadly many scientists have wasted vast amounts of time and money on these rather pretty but completely man-made apparitions. I have seen dozens of books full of theories and explanations. I have also seen men who make them using nothing more than a piece of rope and a couple of poles.
