Here at The Croppie we have a straightforward outlook on the role humans play in the crop circle phenomenon: people can make crop circles. Elsewhere, some would have us believe that everything possible has been done to conceal just what people have achieved in the fields. let's share fifteen pieces concerning circle makers and their work that everyone should read, watch or listen to.
Given the hilarious backslapping in one corner of Facebook, this new circle may have actually been designed to look like it does. Or maybe those responsible have no shame and and are happy to put their name to something that any other circle maker would be content to see disappear.
There are only two constants in this life: a beginning and an end. The rest is all about ups and downs. Here, we focus on the downs and ask our circle makers to tell us about their worst nights in the field.

We all know what a ‘wonderful’ place Crop Circles UK is on Facebook. Harassment, prejudice, abuse and almost every negative -ism you can ever want to uncover. But let’s not forget the tall crop circle tales that get relaid there every year.
Operation Blackbird is deservedly renowned as one of the most genuinely iconic events in crop circle history. It enthralled the British public, massively dented the reputation of cerealogist Colin Andrews and, to this day, nobody believable has come forward to claim responsibility for one of the biggest yarns in the cerealogical record books.
Three Circles is a short history of crop circles. Part one covers the wide period of 1975 (or should that be 1975ish?) to 1989, a time when cerealogy was at its most innocent.
Nobody will look back on the 2024 season with enthusiasm. Retrospectively, it was an extremely odd episode — though interesting, at least for us here at The Croppie — that highlighted the circles’ downward spiral of recent years. It reflected our own view from 2023 that we should abandon our expectations of the circles.
We recently read a very considered piece on the wonderful Circular State of Mind website. Titled ‘Crop Circles 2023: End of the Season’, it’s a brief contemplation on the current state of play in the fields and we’d like to add our own thoughts on the matters it raises.
Another five-fold formation, following on from the recent circle at Alton Priors. This one is in a different league in terms of the beauty of its construction, though it hasn’t gone unnoticed that it bears striking similarities to a small circle that appeared at Silbury Hill in June 2012.

We all remember hoaxers Dene Hine and Deiniol ‘Dan’ Davies crowing about the commissioned job they took during 2023. In their eagerness to bring home the cash and get some publicity for themselves, perhaps coupled their carriage to the wrong train.
Some crop circle related cuteness has entwined its way into the latest episode of the wonderful Simon’s Cat series on YouTube. It’s only short, but check it out below:
Twenty years is a long time. In 2005 Allan Brown and John Michell self-published Crooked Soley: A Crop Circle Revelation, a small book that explored the geometry and odd synchronicities surrounding the enigmatic 2002 crop circle which appeared close to the east Wiltshire hamlet of the same name.
