Crop Circle Art II

Crop circle art has been brought to the attention of both the public and the media by Doug Bower and Dave Chorley. These two men from Southampton, England, announced in 1991 that they had been the artists of many crop circles which were inspired by the 1966 Tully Saucer Nests.

They used simple tools like planks, rope, hats and wire and with a four foot long plank attached to a rope, they could easily create a 40-foot (12 m) circle in 15 minutes.

Their designs were at first simple circles, but became more and more complex after newspapers claimed that the circles could easily have been caused by natural phenomena like severe rain and/or storms.

Some people are under the impression that crop circles are the result of aliens, extraordinary weather, or animals. Apparently, crop circles have already been spotted centuries ago. Whether those were a hoax at that time or 'the real deal'; it is difficult to know.

As far as I am concerned, I hope the crop circle artists will continue to create lots of beautiful art and take pictures of it, because the work of these space cadets does not last very long.
