Crop circles formed by crushed plants are one of the world’s main mysteries, over which scientists have been puzzling for decades. The first mention of these circles was made in Great Britain, in the 17th century, but the circles became a real sensation in the early 1990s, when they began to appear in fields around the world in hundreds and thousands. Since then, about 10 thousand circles have been recorded around the world, from Japan and China to the USA and Brazil, but about 90% of all circles appear in England, in the county of Wiltshire.
The first “circles” were really just circles, but over time, the shapes appearing in the fields became more and more diverse. Nowadays we encounter mostly complex geometric structures that form symbols and mysterious messages, many of which have never been deciphered...
It is still unknown where the circles come from. The most popular versions are the tricks of aliens or aliens from a parallel world, ball lightning, magnetic field anomalies, etc. Peasants firmly believe that the circles are left by evil spirits, and skeptics even consider them to be fakes.
Let's hope that someday the mystery of the circles will be revealed, but for now let's look at the most interesting photographs of crop circles taken in different countries of the world over the past 20 years.
01 This circle in the form of the famous Mayan calendar was noticed in 2004 in the English county of Wiltshire.
02 In this circle, which appeared in 2008 in England, the number “pi” is encrypted - 3.14.

05 In this circle, which appeared in England in 2010, some see the face of Jesus Christ, others see a harp, and some see nothing at all. By the way, there were two such circles, and they were located very close - the first “paired” circles in history.
06 Soon after the face of Jesus, the Holy Grail was imprinted on the English field - August 2010.
07 In June 2009, in the English county of Oxfordshire, a jellyfish about 180 meters long appeared in one of the fields, which local residents really liked. Crop circle experts say the jellyfish pattern is a rarity.

These are the amazing messages someone leaves us while we sleep. By the way, some scientists believe that the “author” of the circles is the planet Earth itself!
The author of the decryption of the encoded image is Michael Reed, an engineer from North Carolina and a former astrophysicist. In order to understand what a circle means, you need to divide it into 10 equal sectors, and then number the resulting parts, as shown in the figure. If you count from the center clockwise in a spiral, choosing the last number in the group, you get 3.141592654 - the first ten digits of Pi. The small circle at the center of the fourth sector (black dot in the figure) corresponds to the dividing point:
Moon phases
The meaning of many messages has already been confirmed in astronomical events.
The next circles appeared on the field on June 6, 2008 in West Kennett, Wiltshire (UK). They depicted 40% of the solar eclipse as it was then observed in that exact location on August 1, 2008:
August 8, 2008 ( 08.08.08 ) circles appeared on the field in Milk Hill - Alton Barnes, Wiltshire. In the circle there is an indication of August 16, 2008 - the full moon:
Check your mail!
The most significant event associated with circles and in general in the direction of UFOs occurred in 2001. This was the first recognized fact of direct “postal” communication, a response to our message that we received from cosmic beings.
The first drawing appeared on a field near the Chilbolton Observatory, located near the town of Wherwell in Hampshire (England), on August 13, 2000:
The approximate dimensions of the "binary code" and "face" are 200 by 85 feet and 160 by 180 feet, respectively. Both designs are formed by ears of wheat arranged in almost the same way.
This kind of drawing is completely impossible to see from the ground. These drawings are done quite neatly and accurately, although up close they look like a complete mess. Looking at them, one cannot say that these are ordinary “crop circles and arcs.” They look like a random collection of dots. But looking at them from above - and they were undoubtedly designed to be viewed from above - they produce an incredible effect.
When Paul Vigay, director of the Independent Center for the Study of Unexplained Phenomena (Southsey, Hampshire, England) saw the aerial photographs of the “binary code”, he immediately said that the image closely resembled a digital message that was sent into outer space using a radio telescope on November 16, 1974 Arecibo, built in Puerto Rico. The radio beam was aimed at the M13 star cluster, located at a distance of about 23,000 light years from Earth.
A radio broadcast made in 1974 from the Arecibo radio telescope shows the double helix of the human DNA molecule as two curved lines above a humanoid figure. The left side of the design that appeared on Chilbolton's field is different from its right side, and in general the design is somewhat different from the encoding of the radio message.
Shown at left is an excerpt from a black-and-white radio message sent in 1974 by the Arecibo radio telescope. The double helix of the DNA molecule is shown in the form of curved lines at the top. Below, between the binary information about the size of the Earth's population and the average height of a person, a humanoid figure representing people is shown. Below the image of a man in the form of a square the Sun and 9 planets are shown. The third planet is moved closer to the symbolic figure of a man. At the bottom above the line in the form of the letter M is a symbol depicting the Arecibo radio telescope, and the binary encoding below reports its diameter (300 m). For comparison, the image originating from Chilbolton is shown on the right.
Please note that the Arecibo radio telescope symbol and the letter M have been replaced with a design similar to the one that appeared on the field on August 13, 2000! (see above)
It can be assumed that in this way someone wanted to show a device for creating circles.
Below is an excerpt from an interview with Paul Vigay, Director of the Independent Center for the Study of Unexplained Phenomena (Southsey, Hampshire, England)
“It is possible that the spiral of their DNA molecule is uneven and contains some additional components. I can say more precisely only after deciphering the central stripe, which is located in the middle between the two curved lines. In the radio transmission made from the Arecibo radio telescope, this band corresponded to the number of nucleotides in a DNA molecule in binary form. In the picture on the field we see that this strip has some differences - in the middle there is one single dot, which means that one digit has been changed. Apparently, this may explain why the arcs on the left and right are different from each other. If their DNA molecule has a different number of nucleotide strands, then this would explain the imbalance.
When it comes to binary code, information is represented in the form of zeros and ones, or filled and empty squares, as in the vertical stripe between the strands of DNA in the figure.
If you look at the images of the planets, then in our message it is clearly visible that our planet is the third from the Sun, since it is moved towards a humanoid figure with a head, two arms, two legs and a torso. If you look at the picture that appeared in the wheat field, you can see that after the first two planets, a group of three planets has been moved in the same way as was done in our message. The third planet in the row is raised. The fourth planet is elevated. And the fifth planet is not only raised, but also transformed from one point into four smaller points, forming something like a cross. This difference is really very interesting. It could mean that in their solar system three planets are inhabited and that they originate from the fifth planet. It can be seen from the figure that three planets are indicated, with the fifth planet highlighted more than all the others. This could also mean that the fifth planet has three satellites.
In the resulting drawing you can see what appears to be a figure that has a very large head, very large, protruding eyes and a short, thin body. To the right of the person’s figure is his height. The message sent from Arecibo has three numbers that correspond to seven. Naturally, if you are transmitting a message to the other side of the galaxy, there is no point in using feet, inches or meters as units, so I consider this expression to simply be 7 units of something. If you look at the picture on the field, you can see that there is only one unit in this place. From this we can conclude that no matter what units of measurement are used, the height indicated here is much less than human.
There is another discrepancy that concerns atomic numbers. When I first saw the aerial photo (Paul Vigay), I thought it was just a defect in the photo. And that was one of the main reasons why I went there today to see for myself. I realized that this was not an error because the change was intentional and it was encrypted in the sequence.
Right at the top there is a row representing the numbers 1 to 10. Just below them are the atomic numbers of the basic elements, which are the building blocks that support life on Earth (labeled P.O.N.C.H in the figure). These are phosphorus, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and hydrogen. Now you can decrypt. What corresponds to phosphorus is indicated by a long line, i.e. 1111, which means 15. The next element of the picture, if read vertically, gives 0001. This corresponds to 8, which of course means oxygen. The next element (1110) corresponds to 7, which means nitrogen. The next one (011) corresponds to 6, which means carbon. And finally, the last element is 1, which corresponds to 1 and means hydrogen.
The message sent from Arecibo shows 5 columns: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus. In the figure there are 6 columns on the field. This can only be seen if you examine the image in detail. Thus, this encoding contains an additional element. This element has been inserted between oxygen and phosphorus, i.e. instead of the row 1, 6, 7, 8, 15, there is another row containing the element which is designated 0111, which corresponds to 14. Thus the row is: 1, 6 , 7, 8, 14, 15.
In the periodic table, the element with atomic number 14 is called silicon. This is a very interesting discovery because many researchers say that if there are any other forms of life that, unlike earthly forms, are not carbon-based, then out of the entire periodic table, almost the only element that could support life is silicon . It is theoretically possible that there is a planet in which silicon is the predominant element. If this is indeed a binary encoded message, then the presence of the additional element in the form of silicon is important information."
Warning?
On August 14, 2002, at 8 a.m., tractor driver Sydney Collis, 62, found farmer Mike Burge of Vale Farm in the field near the village of Pitt (Hampshire, UK, about 5 miles east of Chilbolton Observatory). strange geoglyph. This image is 360 feet (about 110 m) long and 250 feet (76.2 meters) wide, as seen in the photo on the left. It is interesting that on the 12th of August everything was as usual on the field, on the 14th Collis did not see any circle, and you can see the photograph of August 16th for yourself... It is worth noting that the field is located on the top of a hill and the image area is not visible from anywhere one of the roads passing nearby. In fact, even at a distance of 50 m from the image it is hardly possible to see anything. At a distance of about 100 meters from the image there is a radio mast about 40 m high.
It is striking that the manner of constructing this image differs from the “Chilbolton face” of 2001. There, the dots were placed at the nodes of a regular grid and the brightness scale was formed by changing the size of the dots. Here, the image is created from horizontal lines, the width of which is modulated to form a brightness dependence, which is very reminiscent of the “interlaced scanning” of modern television.
Unlike the previous image, the icon is now directly linked to the image and very much resembles a CD with binary code and start and end markers. The information is presented in 8-bit segments separated by narrow synchronizer segments. The information is read in a spiral from the center to the edge and is a set of ASCII characters in the international English encoding. There is a blank separator between each data track. For those who work on a computer, I hope there is no need to explain what it is.
Details of the analysis of these 152 bytes can be found on Linda Moulton Howe’s website. The end result of these studies was a phrase that can be interpreted as a warning:
“Beware the bearers of FALSE gifts & their BROKEN PROMISES. Much PAIN but still time. BELIEVE. There is GOOD out there. We oPpose DECEPTION. CONDuit CLOSING\"
The translation into Russian looks something like this:
“Beware of bearers of FALSE talents (abilities) and their UNKEEPED PROMISES. A lot of PAIN, but it will last for a while. BELIEVE. Outside of this place is GOOD. We stand against DECEPTION. The channel is CLOSING\"
2012
Below is a field drawing that appeared on 15 July 2008 at Avebury Manor, Wiltshire. Notice that there is nothing to the left of the largest circle.
According to modeling using an astronomical computer program, the location of the planets in our solar system on December 21, 2012 will look like this:
The positions of the planets are very similar. Many researchers of the crop circle phenomenon believe that this pattern indicates the positions of the planets at the end of the Mayan calendar - December 21, 2012.
Only the position of the solar system's most distant planet, Pluto, and its orbit are displayed differently than in existing planetary motion simulation programs. This may be due to the fact that Pluto's orbit stands out strongly from the plane of rotation of the other planets. And when the orbit is projected onto a plane, distortion occurs.
An interesting incident occurred a few days after this image was formed on the field. The farmer decided to harvest the crop or simply erase the drawing:
But he didn't have much time. On July 22, 2008, in place of the Sun, a new circle of larger diameter was drawn (up to the orbit of Venus), a new Sun, which smoothed out the unevenness of the drawing made by the combine. And on the same field, next to the image of the drawing of the solar system, another large drawing appeared, and closer to the corner of the field there is a new object in the form of a ball approaching the solar system (Nibiru?):
Such persistence suggests that the authors consider it very important to convey to us the meaning of this message.
The most interesting thing is that on December 21, 2012, there will be a parade of planets. Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and Earth will line up. Actually, similar parades of planets have happened before. How does the parade of planets on December 21, 2012 differ from previous ones? The fact is that on this day not only the planets of the solar system will line up, but also the planets of other star systems, forming a line from the center of the galaxy. And this is a completely different matter. The process can be compared to the hands of a clock when the clock hands move to the 12 o'clock position. According to esotericists, this combination will mean the transition of the universe from one system to another.
Prophecies?
Education in Secklendorf, Germany, June 23, 2008 can be interpreted as important prophetic dates:
Points marked on the image:
- V1= March 27, 2009, inferior conjunction to the Sun, close to the Earth.
- V3= October 29, 2010, inferior conjunction with the Sun, near the Earth.
- V4= August 16, 2011, superior conjunction with the Sun, in opposition to the Earth.
- V2= January 11, 2012, superior conjunction with the Sun, in opposition to the Earth.
- V5= June 6, 2012, inferior conjunction with the Sun, solar transit (bright central six-pointed star).
- V6= December 21, 2012, three months before the superior conjunction with the Sun, slightly to the right of the opposition with the Earth (end of the Long Count of the Mayan calendar).
- a system of calendars created by the Mayan civilization in pre-Columbian Central America. This calendar was also used by other Central American peoples - the Aztecs, Toltecs, etc. The civil, or solar year of the Mayans had a length of 365.2421 days, which more accurately corresponds to the period of the Earth's revolution around the Sun than the length of the year in the Gregorian (modern) calendar - 365.2424 days .
According to Mayan legends, each cycle ends with the almost complete destruction of the civilization that lived in this cycle. The Mayans believed that at the end of the current 5126-year cycle, which began on August 13, 3113 BC, and will end on December 21, 2012, some movement of the Earth would occur, which would entail the destruction of our civilization.
The conclusion is that we should be afraid of the vaunted “Zetas”, they fool our brains and hurt us. The civilization that is friendly to us, that draws circles, has the silicon composition of the body, which awaits us, though not soon. On this occasion, read the dialogue between the boy Sasha and Indigo, starting in 2006. The planet Nibiru really exists. And humanity should pay attention to the parade of planets.

28 Another 3D circle from Oxfordshire
Scientist Horace Drew from the University of California Institute of Technology in Pasadena (California, USA), who has a PhD in chemistry, said that circles (images) in agricultural fields represent messages from aliens, and decoding them can help humanity to make breakthrough discoveries.
On June 12, 1999, researcher Charles Mallett from the UK discovered an image in a field that was 1,020 feet (310 meters) long and contained "speech symbols." Crop circles are a global phenomenon - they appeared all over the planet and until now most of these strange formations have no decoding. While some circles are elaborate fakes of pranksters or crop circle artists, there are others that carry mysterious messages.
Crop circles have been a topic of discussion among scientists and UFO researchers for many years. Richard Dolan, one of the world's leading ufologists, historian, researcher and author, states:
Some of these images are so large and complex that the reasons for their creation are intriguing. And since for decades not a single criminal capable of repeating this has been caught, the nature of these formations is truly extraordinary.
It is interesting that, according to statistics, images in the fields appear approximately once a week and in different parts of the planet, becoming more and more complex over the years. Contrary to popular belief, the appearance of crop circles is not something unique in recent decades - reports of mysterious crop formations have been recorded for centuries.
Dr. Drew claims to have discovered mysterious patterns in such formations. For more than 20 years, he has been researching crop circles, taking into account the culture of the states in which they appear and based on the fact that the images are an attempt to communicate with humanity, to convey some messages.
According to the doctor, humanity is not yet able to fully understand the messages, because it has not yet advanced enough in its own development. At the same time, he believes that some crop circles are literally images of the future. Dr. Drew also claims that crop circles have already helped lead humanity to at least one breakthrough in computer technology, which currently still runs on binary code.
Nick Pope, a former British Ministry of Defense employee and now a journalist and UFO researcher, said at a special event in Australia that crop circles are not unique. Speaking about this phenomenon he pointed out:
It is clear to me that despite the complexity of the figures, they were still made by people. Some of these frauds were initially modeled on computers and plotted on the fields using GPS navigation and night vision goggles. It is unlikely that an alien civilization flew to us through space just to make patterns in the fields.
According to historian Greg Jefferys, the number of recorded crop circles that were found in Google Earth 1945 (maps from 1945) has already accumulated to about a dozen. Because the study did not include more than 35% of cases in England and the Wiltshire hotspot, the results are consistent with general statistics from 1945 - about 100 crop circles were found in rural Britain. The question remains: who creates these crop circles?
Perhaps these marginal images are sending us messages from an alien intelligence trying to tell us something important. Who can answer this difficult question?
P.S. To confirm that UFOs and crop circles are connected, we suggest watching a video that shows strange objects flying over the fields where images have already appeared. There is video evidence that it is precisely such objects that create drawings in the fields.
Translation of an article from the site
The bulk of such compositions have a mysterious origin and an even more mysterious purpose. Many people say that extraterrestrial civilizations are trying to communicate with us in this way.
Others argue that the cause of these mysterious phenomena is the spirits or energy of the Earth itself, which, thus, wants to be heard by its children.
Whether you believe these or more rational explanations is up to you to decide.
Devil's Mower of Hertfordshire
The earliest mention of crop circles dates back to a mysterious story that happened one night in Hertfordshire in 1678. A newspaper article about the mysterious phenomenon was published on August 22 under the headline "The Devil's Mower or Strange News from Hertfordshire."The picture showed a demon carefully mowing a circle of crops, the text above read: “A farmer bargained with a poor mower for mowing three and a half acres of his oats. When the mower asked for too many oats, the farmer began to swear and said that he had better let the devil mow this field. And so it happened: that very night the field with the harvest looked as if it were on fire; but in the morning they saw that the oats were not burned, but neatly mowed, as if the devil or some kind of hellish spirit was mowing them down. No mortal could do such a thing."
The largest circle on record
This massive and meticulously executed composition was discovered in a wheat field on August 12, 2001 in the Milk Hills of Wiltshire (UK). It is the largest circle of all time, having a diameter of 267 meters and consisting of 409 smaller circles.
Solar System Glyph
These crop circles, representing the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Earth and Jupiter, appeared on crops in Longwood Warren, Hampshire (UK) on June 22, 1995. Most interestingly, this glyph depicts the planetary alignment that occurred on that day, as well as on November 6, 1903, when the Wright brothers proved that man could fly, and again during Mariner 9's journey to Mars on July 11, 1971.
Circles in the sand in the Middle East
One of the most mysterious phenomena actually happened in the desert in the Middle East. There were no traces or evidence of human intervention in this composition.
Trinity from Barbary Castle
This symbolic drawing was discovered on July 17, 1991. It depicts the creation of the universe by "three sources of light", also known as the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Additionally, the composition includes the tree of life from the Book of Genesis, and the sum of the area of each circle is 31,680 square feet, which corresponds to the Greek gematria of Jesus Christ. The sum of all the numbers is also divided by 3168, which gives the number 6660, which creates a connection between Jesus and the number of the Beast.
The most complex known drawing
In a field near Barbary Castle, another very complex formation was observed. The diameter of its circumference was 45.72 meters and was actually a coded message from the first 10 digits of the number π: 3.141592654.
Julia's set
Another very difficult circle is known as the "Julia Set" and is located in the field opposite Stonehenge. It appeared in July 1996, and was discovered from the air by a pilot at approximately 18:15 pm. Previously, the same pilot had crossed this area at 17:30 with a passenger, a doctor, who was taking pictures, and there were no circles there at that time, as they both claimed. Guards at Stonehenge also confirmed that they had not noticed anything suspicious earlier that day.
Later, another witness was found - a woman who claimed that, together with the taxi driver, she watched as large circles in the field formed by themselves, covered with a thick cloud of fog.
Strange circles on a field in Germany
In the town of Reisting in southern Germany, circles were discovered in a wheat field by an aeronaut crossing the area in a hot air balloon. Farmer Christopher Hutter denied his involvement in the mysterious phenomenon that occurred on his land, but at the same time refused to believe that it was the work of aliens, and blamed his children for everything. The diameter of the circle was about 76 meters. Among other things, the circle had an elaborate design that could not have been designed by the neighborhood kids.
Binary code face
This rectangular composition with a human face appeared in August 2001 next to the radio telescope in Chilbolton, Hampshire. With no sign of human involvement in its creation, the formation eerily resembled the famous face on Mars and was accompanied by a second formation that contained complex binary code. The encoded information, interestingly, is surprisingly similar to what we sent into space on the Voyager spacecraft.
