A 350ft crop circle of an ancient Mayan symbol, said to be a sign of an impending apocalypse, has appeared next to Silbury Hill in Wiltshire. The giant pattern - thought to represent a traditional Mayan head-dress - appeared next to the tallest prehistoric man-made mound in Europe last week. Members of the crop circle community believe the mystic symbol is a signal of the end of the 5,126-year Mayan 'Long Count' calendar on December 21, 2012 Karen Alexander, a crop circle enthusiast, said: "This is one of the most interesting crop circles I have ever seen. It is definitely a Mayan symbol and we are sure it is linked to the Mayan calendar, which ends in 2012. "It appears to be a warning about the world coming to an end when the calendar does. For the ancient Maya, reaching the end of a cycle was a momentous event, so we are taking this crop circle very seriously as an indicator of a possibly huge event in 2012." Last month a 400-foot crop circle depicting a phoenix rising from the flames appeared in a barley field in Yatesbury near Devizes, Wiltshire. Crop circle theorists believe the patterns are created by UFOs during nocturnal visits, or caused by natural phenomena such as unusual forms of lightning striking the earth.

My calendar ends on December 31st.
That’s purty.

Climbing up on Silbury hill I can see the city lights.
Amusing form of primitive credulity. Let me know when someone videorecords a crop circle being made.
There is no way that was created by ‘lightning striking the earth’.
That leaves humans, or aliens.
And because I don’t believe in aliens, and it seems perfectly possible for humans to create such a thing, I vote for humans.
Aren’t these always in England? hmmmm
Dunno who did it, but it’s impressive.
Gosh, I wonder how that think got there? I thought aliens didn’t land in England because of the poor quality of their socialized medicine.
No I didn’t..Funny how many Papers are gravitating to this...

The mystery is why do people go to such extreme lengths to make these things. And how do they do it in one night?
Whoever did it, they are very good. I can only mow stick men.
"Crop circle theorists"??? HAHA! that's almost as ridiculous as "Global Warming Scientists".
If I had a UFO, be danged if I’d spend my time whittling out patterns on barley fields...
