Collection 100 - Crop Circles

A crop circle (or crop formation) is a large pattern created by the flattening of a crop. Although the origin of crop formations are unknown, the documented cases have substantially increased from the 1970s to current times. Twenty-six countries ended up reporting approximately ten-thousand crop circles,since the 70s and 90% of those were located in southern England.


Some crop formations are paid for by companies who use them as advertising but various paranormal, ufological and anomalistic investigators believe that they were created by bizarre phenomena or used as communication from extraterrestrials.

This crop circle was found in Wiltshire last year. Just how these creations come into being is the subject of heated debate with some arguing they are deliberately created to bring in tourism.
