Lucy Pringle has photographs on the new season's crop circles. I particularly like this one of a dragon fly.
Some circles are amateurish, some intricate enough to qualify for their 'ufo' status and some, in past years, have been done as advertising.
They look brilliant from the air but messy on the ground. Lucy Pringle studies the electro-magnetic properties of the trampled ground along with other researchers and the debunkers of all things 'mystical'.
If they're all done by planks strapped to the feet of pranksters then I'm very impressed with their precision and artistry.

I love these "crop circles", some of them are just so detailed and brilliant it's hard to remember they've been created in a field of whatever probably as tall as a man's head.
One thing I've noticed...you never find the mistake crop circles they've had to scribble out and start again... ;)
I love crop circles, I'd dearly love to know how they're done. This dragonfly is very impressive.
Considerable mathematical ability and preparation needed, I think, otherwise we would see the drafts pointed out by the very droll Jayne.
Jayne, I read somewhere that stealth helicopters with lasers are used. Obviously an X-Files devotee there. Any in Lancaster would only be Fleetwood being dragged about by those cows he's always insulting.
River, you will lose yourself at Lucy Pringle's where she photographs the best but doesn't leave out the bad ones.
This is what fascinates me, Lad. It doesn't matter how much is on paper or computer, it has to translate to a huge field. I do remember the crop circle for the year looked fantastic until it was revealed it was made over two nights and I can't see the little grey men coming back to finish their work.
They are amazing and a mystery...we need our mysteries...still unexplained...
Therese, I hope the shoulder is mending, no mystery about that, just middle age ganging up with gravity.
