Crop circles are one of the most controversial and discussed phenomena in the modern world. Versions of their appearance are put forward diametrically opposite, and sometimes just incredible. Someone argues that the incredible giant drawings in the fields are attempts by aliens to reach out to humanity, while others are sure that the drawings in the fields appear as a result of some natural phenomenon, and still others are sure that circles and other geometric shapes appear through the efforts of farmers. One way or another, but these drawings look really amazing.
1. Fidget spinner
England.
This newly emerging crop circle in England seems to suggest that even aliens cannot escape the latest planet-wide craze, as the circle is strikingly similar to a spinner. While this is not an accurate depiction of a popular children's toy, the similarities were enough for crop circle expert Matthew Williams to claim it was "the world's largest spinner."
2. The Prince's logo

USA.
After Prince's death in 2016, former farmer Gene Hansen from Edgley, North Dakota, USA decided to pay tribute to his beloved artist by creating a giant symbol on his field that the singer had previously used. When the 75-year-old farmer finished drawing in the field, he flew over it in an airplane to photograph his creation.
3. Giant clitoris
France.
It sounds a bit strange, but in 2016 a 120-meter clitoris appeared on a field near the village of Montferrier-sur-Les in France. This huge drawing on the field was made by two sexologists, Marie-Noel Lanuit and Jean-Claude Picard, in protest against the taboo on the depiction of female body parts in public places and even in textbooks.
4. Mothership Glass logo
England.
The stunning circular image with a diameter of 100 meters contains 20 different symbols that resemble astrological signs located around the central mandala. This could be seen in the field between Wiltshire and Dorset. The circle appeared in just one night in a wheat field, and no trace or evidence has been found that it was made by humans. Some observers have drawn comparisons with the logo of the American company Mothership Glass, which is known for creating fancy bongos. Symbols used around the edges of the circle were seen in designs posted on the firm's Washington, DC website.
5. Metatron's Cube
England.
The 122m circle was discovered on 18 July 2017 in a wheat field near Clay Hill in the UK. It is described as a variation on Metatron's cube, one of the sacred geometric figures. Metatron is the name of an angel from Hebrew Hagadda. Metatron's Cube is a set of 6 circles placed in a hexagon around a central seventh circle, with six more circles extending from the inner six for a total of 13.
6. Ebola virus
Italy.
In 2014, governments around the world took steps to protect their citizens from the spread of the deadly Ebola virus. Not surprisingly, Verona-based Italian artist Dario Gambarin mowed 37,000 square meters of field in Castagnaro, creating a 200-meter image of the virus structure, accompanied by the words "EBOLA VIRUS". Although this crop circle had some artistic merit, its purpose was to "raise awareness," as the artist himself stated.
7. Jesus Christ
England.
Crop circles around Dorset have sparked thoughts that something might have attracted alien visitors. This image appeared in a field near Cerne Ebbas. Shaz Hooper, 35, used a drone to take aerial photographs of the striking drawing that no one knows who created it. Many believe that it resembles a religious symbol of Jesus Christ.
