The gigantic crop circles, striking the imagination and from nowhere, are one of the unsolved secrets to this day. Someone explained their appearance by "mowing demons", someone - by the intervention of aliens. They can appear overnight and haunt for centuries.
The earliest mention of the mysterious crop circles, known to mankind, dates back to 1678. In just one night, a circle appeared inexplicably on a field in Hertfordshire. A pamphlet announcing a strange event was published on August 22, 1678 under the heading "The Mowing Devil, or Strange News from Hertfordshire."
The figure shows a demon carefully carving with his oblique circle on the field. The text reads: “This is the true story of a farmer who traded with a poor mower about three and a half acres of oats. The mower asked too much, and then the farmer swore that the devil would rather mow than he. And so it happened that very night. The oat harvest was as if on fire, but the next morning it was so neatly cut down by the devil or some kind of hellish spirit that no mortal could have done such a thing."
This huge and intricate creation was discovered in a wheat field on August 12, 2001 in Milk Hill, Wiltshire, UK. To this day, it is the largest crop circle in history. It consists of 409 circles and has a diameter of 267 meters.
In Longwood Warren, Hampshire, on June 22, 1995, this circle appeared, depicting the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth, and the orbits of Jupiter. Interestingly, this arrangement of the planets, as on a circle, was observed on the day when the Wright brothers proved that man can fly, on November 6, 1903, and then on July 11, 1971, during the mission of the Mariner 9 apparatus to Mars. …

One of the most suspicious circles has emerged in the sands of the Middle East. No trace was found here, nor any other human intervention.
This highly symbolic drawing was discovered on July 17, 1991 at Barbury Castle. He depicts the creation of the universe by three sources of light, which are also called the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The picture shows the Tree of Life from the Book of Genesis.
The British calculated that the area of each circle is 31,680 square feet (2,943 square meters), which corresponds to the Greek numerology of the name of Jesus Christ. The sum of all digits is divided by 3168, and the result is 6660, which connects this number with the Number of the Beast.
A circle with a very intricate design appeared on the field near Barbury Castle. Its diameter is 150 feet. It looks like the image was an encrypted interpretation of the first ten digits of pi - 3.141592654. This amazed the researchers. The circle is formed from ten corner segments with radial transitions. The comma in pi is indicated by a dot in the center, and the tenth digit is correctly rounded.
Another complex structure in the margins is known as "Julia Set". It appeared on the field opposite Stonehenge in July 1996 and got its name because it is a complex computer fractal of the same name. For musicians, this is a treble clef, and for marine biologists it is a section of the spiral of a mollusk shell.
The Giulia Set was spotted by a pilot who flew over the field at 18:15. Before that, he flew in the same place at 17:30 with a passenger, a doctor who was taking pictures, and at that moment there were no circles. Stonehenge guards also confirmed that there were no circles on that field earlier that day. A woman appeared, claiming that she had stopped by the road and witnessed the creation of a circle. She also said that there was a taxi driver with a passenger who watched with her as the circle itself was drawn on the field under a swirling cloud.
As the aeronauts flew over a wheat field near Reisting in southern Germany, they noticed a formation of clipped circles. Christoph Huttner claims that he has nothing to do with the strange drawing that appeared on his field, but at the same time refuses to believe that this is the work of aliens, and blames the children. The circle is almost 76 meters in diameter. It is unlikely that the neighbors' children would be able to mow such a pattern.
This rectangular formation in a field with a face similar to the famous Martian face appeared in August 2001 near the Chilbolton Radio Observatory in England. There were no signs of human intervention or the use of tools around the perimeter of this drawing. Another formation appeared nearby with a complex binary code in the same format as the message sent by humanity into space in 1974.
Many crop circles are the work of pranksters with beams and ropes. However, the origin of enough circles cannot be explained. In addition, many of them carry cryptic messages. Some argue that in this way alien life forms are trying to communicate with us. Others believe that it is the spirits of the Earth who want to be heard. Each has its own interpretation, but the question remains open.
