Crop Circle

CROP CIRCLE



A crop circle is a sizable pattern created by the flattening of a crop such as wheat, barley, rye, or rapeseed. Crop circle are also referred to as crop formations, because they are not always circular in shape.
The documented cases have substantially increased from the 1970s to current times. In 1991 two hoaxers claimed authorship of many circle throughout England.
26 countries reported approximately 10,000 crop circle in the last third of the 20th century. 90% of those were located in southern England. Many of the formations appearing in that area are positioned near ancient monuments, such as stone. According to one study, nearly half of all circles found in the UK in 2003 were located within a 15 kilometers radius of avebury.
Archeological remains causes crop mark in the fields, in the shapes of circles and squares, but they do not appear overnight and they are always in the same places every year.
The scientific consensus is that crop circles are almost entirely man-made with a few possibly due to meteorological or other natural phenomena.
