Crop circles (CCPs) are an amazing phenomenon that has been happening regularly and in large numbers for many years across the planet. The science of crop circles is Cereology, named after the Roman fertility goddess Ceres.
The first known mention of crop circles took place in 1686. Robert Plot (1640-1696), professor of chemistry at Oxford University, wrote the book "The Natural History of Staffordshire," in which he tried to explain the phenomenon of field circles.
The formation of the first "circle" of the modern era dates back to 1972 (England). Two eyewitnesses, Arthur Shuttlewood and Bruce Bond, sat on the side of the hill, hoping to see the mysterious unidentified flying object that made this area of England a mecca for ufologists. But what they saw on that moonlit night was a little more extraordinary - a hundred feet away, they saw part of the ears fall fan-like, forming an even circle.
Every year around the world there are several hundred, and in "good" years and for a thousand circles. It takes about twenty seconds for the circle to appear, and is often accompanied by a squeaky sound that was recorded on tape and then recognized by NASA as artificial sound. To date, there are over 9000 crop circle reports, 90% of which came from England.
Striking examples
On May 9, 2010 near the famous Stonehenge in the UK, circles appeared on the field, in the same place as 14 years ago. Photo evidence of this event remained.

And soon, on May 22, 2010, a new interesting circle appeared in Wilton Windmill, Wiltshire (UK):
Conspiracy
If you think that all these circles were made by two old ladies using a plank and rope, then you are not in the minority. Once again, the government is trying to subjugate public opinion about the unknown, using the disinformation method "debunking". It is a method invented during the Cold War to control public opinion about the UFO phenomenon (which was Robertson Panel's main task in 1953, but only learned about it in 1977, thanks to the US Freedom of Information Pact). This method is quite effective, since the media does not provide any scientific or technical information on the basis of which their own opinion can be formed. Then the phenomenon is ridiculed by comparing it with other "extreme" topics or by inviting various "experts"who explain everything by bad weather conditions or someone's hooligan antics. Let's follow the history of debunking to the end.
According to the documents, all the crop circles were done by two old men named Doug and Dave. As we now know, they were instructed by the British government at the request of the CIA and given the task of admitting that all the CNIs were made by them. According to information received from senior officials in the British Department of Defense, the government used these two "pranksters" in order to discredit the phenomenon and thereby suppress the growing public interest in the CNR.
But when they were shown some of the pieces in a TV interview, Doug and Dave suddenly changed their history and began to claim that they had never made these pieces, although before that they claimed to have made all the pieces in England. They were also told that about half of all known figures were found fifty miles west of Silburry Hill, but they denied any involvement in these circles. This went on and on, and by the end of the program, even the perpetrators of the events themselves were not sure which of the circles they did.
But such programs have never shown the real fruits of their labor. Instead of crooked trampled small spots on the wheat, we were shown large, precise and beautiful figures. This technique is commonly used in cheap sensational news programs.
After Doug and Dave, a lot of scammers have entered the scene, some do it for money, some for fame, and some just try to answer mysterious forces. On average, about 30 percent of the figures are human made.
However, on the night of July 23, 2008, an event occurred that indirectly refuted the involvement of people in the creation of many circles. The previous night, July 22, 2008, at South Field - Alton Priors, Wiltshire, UK, a drawing appeared:
And the very next night, July 23, 2008, it was supplemented. Who could have thought to come back and "finish"?
Later, a group of well-known scammers were hired by the NBC news program to travel to New Zealand and make a very high-quality figure there that would still not pass the authentication check. The fact is that not a single false circle contains the set of features that a real figure contains.
Distinctive features of real figures
In 2012, there were already about seven thousand crop circles created by a force unknown to modern science. The problem of falsification is that the wheat must be pressed down with some physical object, which will undoubtedly break the ears. In the actual figures, the ears are not broken, but only curved about an inch from the ground, where the first knee of the ear is. The plants appear to be briefly exposed to heat, which softens them, stretches the knee of the spike, and forces them to lean towards the ground almost at right angles, where they become stiff again. Mankind does not know the technologies with which it could be done. This method is fundamental in determining the authenticity of the figure.
Also, counterfeiters cannot reproduce such signs as a thickening of the ear, and the expansion of its nodule, changes in the embryo in cereals, the appearance of cavities in plants, as if they were heated from the inside. Changes in cellular structure are also observed.
But the plant does not die and continues to grow. Not a single fake was able to reproduce it.
In general, the differences are obvious. Real figures are mathematically accurate, some of them encrypted various complex theorems. The edges of the real figures are very different from the fakes, as they are drawn with surgical precision. The ears are twisted into a spiral, which uses the same logarithmic proportions as in Fibonacci numbers or the golden ratio, which, however, can be found in nature, for example, in a shell or a ram's horn. The bottom of a figure can have up to five layers, and the wheat in each layer is curled in the opposite direction to the previous one. Each spikelet in them lies neatly next to the other. In the center of the circle, ears can intertwine in a clever way, and often in the center there can be only one erect ear (usually in the center there is an intact bundle of ears):
Unlike real circles, in fakes, ears are simply piled in different directions and trampled, and, of course, broken.
Another feature of real circles is the increased infrared radiation inside and outside the figure. Also, when making a real circle, mysterious forces use extremely complex shapes of Euclidean geometry to alter the magnetic structure, making compasses unable to determine where is north and where is south. But cameras, mobile phones and batteries do not function, the aircraft devices start to play a fool when flying over the figure (most likely the change in the magnetic structure has nothing to do with it and the same unknown field or radiation is to blame, as in the anomalous zones), Geiger counters show an increase in radiation about three times the normal background. Animals from the surrounding farms avoid placing the figure on the field even before the figure appears. Very often, car batteries in the surrounding villages are completely discharged,and sometimes the electricity goes off throughout the village.
Real figures like to be placed over the energy lines of the Earth, affecting the energy pattern of the area. They often follow the characteristic size, shape, and direction of the local Neolithic, and can be "scanned" with vines, and include about 20 layers of concentric patterns. Even when the crop is harvested, and the next year the field is plowed and sown again, the dowser will be able to determine where the figure was.
Compare the drawing from August 15, 2008, in Etchilhampton Hill, Wiltshire, UK:
The cross was next to a future drawing dated August 31, 2008:
On June 23, 2002, a circle in the form of a spiral appeared in West Overton, Wiltshire (UK), and a similar one was observed on December 09, 2009 in the sky of Norway. The spirals are twisted in one direction:
An amazing phenomenon in Norway is captured on video:
Circles usually form at night, between 11:30 pm and 4:00 am. At a time of year when the UK has the shortest nights, hundreds of military, farmers, scientists and ufologists are closely watching the fields, hoping to witness the very moment the figure appeared. Two of the lucky few who happened to notice something watched as large luminous balls directed a yellow beam of light onto the field, and the next day a figure was found in this place. Many brought sensitive equipment with them, but the figures appeared right under their noses. Once a figure materialized directly on the lawn of the British Prime Minister's residence, in a strictly guarded territory.
Video evidence of how circles appear
On August 11, 1996, near Oliver's Castle, Wiltshire, the process of the formation of circles in the field was filmed on video camera. These circles, photo from two points:
The film was subjected to scrupulous analysis and was recognized by many experts as genuine - not containing computer graphics:
In 1996, a pilot flying over Stonehenge reported that everything was clear in the surrounding fields, but after 45 minutes a figure appeared, depicting a computer fractal Julia Set. This figure was 900 feet long and contained 145 small circles. The figure was formed in the immediate vicinity of the well-guarded monument, but neither the guards nor the visitors noticed the very moment of formation. No later than five hours after the formation of the figure, 12 researchers arrived at the site:
The general trend of increasing complexity of drawings
If we analyze the photographs of circles of different years, then we can easily trace the tendency towards the complication of the "circle" pattern. Circles are no longer circles. Increasingly, these are complex complex formations:
