crop circle
Flattened wheat design
A crop circle is a geometric pattern of flattened plants—usually grain—appearing mysteriously in fields.
The formations range from simple circles to elaborate designs spanning hundreds of feet.
Though many have been revealed as hoaxes created with boards and ropes, crop circles attracted attention in the 1970s and 80s as possible evidence of extraterrestrial visitation or other paranormal phenomena.
Tourists flocked to see the latest crop circle in Wiltshire.
