Very very good point.
The circle that started this thread is obviously some kind of tribute to, or promotion for, the new Mel Gibson movie, imo. We went from the early to mid 90's until basically now without hearing about any crop circles (after those 2 guys in England came forward with their story and explaination how they did it) and suddenly now there are more circles, just when Signs (the movie all about them) comes out?
If that's just a coincidence, then I'll resign my FR membership (much to the delight of some I'm sure, but that's how certain I am that it's not a coincidence).
Maybe, maybe not. We haven't had a whole lot of coverage concerning THAT formation unfortunetly.

There's many circles formed every year, it's just that they are seldom reported by the media here in the US. The two geriatric gentleman I think you're referring to, Doug and Dave (one of whom died sometime ago), eventually recanted many of their claims when pressed on where and how they constructed the circles. In fact, it pretty much became obvious that they simply LIED about their supposed "works"..
