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 late 1970s. Crop circles started with simple circular patterns and develop over time into huge and complex geometric formations.

 

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, after reading about the Tully, Australia Saucer Nest of 1966, 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.

 

Although the commonly accepted view today is that crop circles are a man-made phenomenon, paranormal explanations, often including UFOs, are still popular. Some believe that the crop designs are messages from alien spacecraft or maintain that the aliens are trying to communicate with us using ancient Sumerian symbols or symbolic representations of alien DNA.
