This new crop circle has just formed up the road from me, very scary indeed:

That's cool. A bit larger than the ones we saw in Paris.

I wonder what was used for the "white" ?

Cheers

That's just the light shining off the laid corn, and probably chalk in the soil. The lay is different for each part of design - the circle would have been swirled after they (the aliens) made the inner design (by walking).

This "circle" is by far the finest I have ever seen. It is just up the road from me (10 min drive from that one) and appeared mid 2003. I took my mum and aunt for a look and there were lots of people there. Remember that those lines are the width of a tractor - the thing was huge!



edit: The "disc" is 8-bit ASCII (how convenient) and reads:

"Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. EELRIJUE. There is GOOD out there. We OPpose DECEPTION. COnduit CLOSING [ding]"

(the "EELRIJUE" is thought to actually be "BELIEVE")

Wow. I once saw part of a tv special on how people make crop circles. Crazy; just walking, stepping on wide bars to lay the field, using only line-of-sight to get everything lined up.

But 8 bit ASCII in a spiral... with a bell tone at the end? Haha, that's really amazing.

Yeah, but it doesn't explain how the aliens make all of the others...

The aliens just walk on boards, too.

With Tom Cruise, the aliens have already invaded. He's trying to get rid of their souls... errr... thetans, now.
