First Wiltshire crop circle of year arrives despite the weather at Stonehenge
9:02am Friday 4th May 2012 in Latest News By Lewis Cowen
The weather may be more like November than May but the first crop circles have appeared in Wiltshire fields.
The first one was reported on April 15 at Hill Barn, near East Kennett in oil seed rape but a more striking one is currently visible, also in oil seed rape, also known as canola, at Yarnbury Castle near Winterbourne Stoke.
This one was reported on April 28. It will be interesting to see how drier weather and more prolific crops affect the number of formations that appear over the next three months.

Crop circles are just rural graffitti. This hoax about aliens has been repeated a little too often now, a farmer's life is hard enough without crops being damaged every year.

I think some of them are hoaxes but if you really study the science behind them it is nearly impossible to think they are not made by ETs. Do you really think it is that far fetched? And that we are the only intelligent life out there? Our history (religious included) is riddled with stories of "gods" coming from the sky in chariots... Just watched a fascinating documentary online about crop circles, aliens, the connect to the suppression of new energy technology...think about it, if ETs are here they must be using some kind of energy technology WAY beyond fossil fuels. You should watch the doc and then see what you think. Its called Thrive: What on Earth Will it Take? It opened my eyes.

A short piece of string holds a 'stomping plank' under one person's foot, and the other end of a long piece of string is held by an accomplice to guide the first person in precise circular arcs. You can even use a bit of scientific deduction to tell that the 'stomper' flattened the crops in this particular circle in a clockwise direction, and another good indication of being man-made (but not a prerequisite) is that all the start and end points of their route were on the tractor tracks, or in places that had subsequently been 'stomped'. I don't deny that there just might be intellegence out there in space, but I dispair sometimes at the lack of intellegence down here on earth.

cle says..."Crop Circles generate over £8m in Wilsthire every year". I'd like to see some justification for that figure, please. Also, how many working farmers offer accommodation? My guess is not many. This activity is criminal and I cannot understand why this "newspaper" celebrates such criminality.
