'Elaborate' crop circles appear in British countryside

DEVIZES, England, - A British crop circle expert said a pair of large designs that appeared recently in the English countryside are the "most elaborate" of the year.

A crop circle estimated to measure about 390 feet in diameter was spotted near Devizes, England, Aug. 6 and a 60-foot-diameter was discovered in a wheat field about 15 miles away just five days later, The Mirror reported Monday.

No one has yet come forward to take credit for the circles.

Lucy Pringle, an aerial photographer and crop circle researcher, took images of the designs.

"The season started very late this year due to the cold winter and spring," she said. "Suddenly it is all happening just as most overseas visitors have left our shores. Both these circles are the largest and most elaborate so far this summer and contain interesting geometry."

Prank or not, it's still impressive.

If you look closely you can see the ‘walkins’ they used near the outer circle.

When they do come forward, they better have their checkbook. They owe a farmer some money for the crops they destroyed.

To my unprofessional eye, the cubic image in the center appears to be slightly out of perspective. It does not appear to be perfectly symmetrical. I always thought aliens were greater perfectionists than that./S

How about a crop circle with an image of the 0bamaclown?
The headlines will be “racist aliens?”

“Merrill....Swing Away!!”

Capons with time on their hand.. wasting a farmers hard work for a photo op. Art meets reality in a starving world.

Bozos should do it on paper. Do something with their lives, use their heads for something other than a hat-rack, if that.

That was my first thought. I wonder how much of this crushed vegetation is recoverable, if anything?

Come on, you think there are no drunk alien teenagers?

Human teens do “donuts” in snowy parking lots; alien teens do crop circles.

Human teens do cow tipping, alien teens do cow mutilation..

The aliens are getting impatient waiting for the world to smarten up.

Personally, I can’t say I blame them.

When we see a crop circle on the White House lawn, we’ll know the invasion is near.
