The Croppie loves the crop circles reconstructions posted online by Dutch electrical engineer Zef Damen. However, The Croppie has been asked on a few occasions whether Zef's crop circle reproductions follow the practical methodology used by circle makers in a field.
'A local dog walker told me of a small circle he’d seen but was very vague as to where. After 4 trips on the bike eventually found it but this is all that was left,' says one Kevin Constant on this small circle he found in Bedfordshire.
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.

Between 1996 and 1999 the crop circle world was fixated by the appearance of fractal-like formations in Wiltshire and Hampshire. They made the press, television and proved to be a massive development in the evolution of the circles. Here are ten of the best with commentary where appropriate...
During a truly remarkable interview on the Paranormal Peep Show podcast in the summer of 2024, croppie Robert Hulse began talking about his experiences with low flying military helicopters in and around crop circles in the Vale of Pewsey.
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 two covers 1990, arguably the high point of crop circle history.Â
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.

We've recently speculated over the appearance of a crop circle resembling giant footprints close to the Wilmington Long Man in East Sussex. We speculated that the footprints may have been linked to an advertising campaign for the Reflo sportswear company. Long time croppie Barry Reynolds has contacted us to suggest the footprints may still have been commissioned as an advertising stunt, but for a more local company.
There are tears aplenty over on the Facebook sewer as Dene Hine someone called BlueGrapefruit35 has emerged from under the tarpaulin to cry about how unfairly Team Ten Watt have been treated this year. The fly in Dene's Grapefruit's ointment seems to be how the Crop Circle Connector and, apparently Monique Klikenbergh's Crop Circle Visitor Centre and Exhibition have treated the dream team's work.
